Methods

#autodetect=

def autodetect=(val)

Allows BigQuery to autodetect the schema.

Parameter

• val (Boolean) — Indicates if BigQuery should automatically infer the options and schema for CSV and JSON sources. The default value is false.

#bignumeric

def bignumeric(name, description: nil, mode: :nullable, policy_tags: nil, precision: nil, scale: nil, default_value_expression: nil)

Adds a bignumeric number field to the schema. BIGNUMERIC is a decimal type with fixed precision and scale. Precision is the number of digits that the number contains. Scale is how many of these digits appear after the decimal point. It supports:

Precision: 76.76 (the 77th digit is partial) Scale: 38 Min: -5.7896044618658097711785492504343953926634992332820282019728792003956564819968E+38 Max: 5.7896044618658097711785492504343953926634992332820282019728792003956564819967E+38

This type can represent decimal fractions exactly, and is suitable for financial calculations.

See Schema#bignumeric

Parameters

• name (String) — The field name. The name must contain only letters ([A-Za-z]), numbers ([0-9]), or underscores (_), and must start with a letter or underscore. The maximum length is 128 characters.
• description (String) (defaults to: nil) — A description of the field.

#clustering_fields=

def clustering_fields=(fields)

Sets the list of fields on which data should be clustered.

Only top-level, non-repeated, simple-type fields are supported. When you cluster a table using multiple columns, the order of columns you specify is important. The order of the specified columns determines the sort order of the data.

BigQuery supports clustering for both partitioned and non-partitioned tables.

See #clustering_fields, Table#clustering_fields and Table#clustering_fields=.

#hive_partitioning_mode=

def hive_partitioning_mode=(mode)

Sets the mode of hive partitioning to use when reading data. The following modes are supported:

1. auto: automatically infer partition key name(s) and type(s).
2. strings: automatically infer partition key name(s). All types are interpreted as strings.
3. custom: partition key schema is encoded in the source URI prefix.

Not all storage formats support hive partitioning. Requesting hive partitioning on an unsupported format will lead to an error. Currently supported types include: avro, csv, json, orc and parquet.

See #format= and #hive_partitioning_source_uri_prefix=.

Parameter

• mode (String, Symbol) — The mode of hive partitioning to use when reading data.

Example

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

end

load_job.wait_until_done!
load_job.done? #=> true

#hive_partitioning_source_uri_prefix=

def hive_partitioning_source_uri_prefix=(source_uri_prefix)

Sets the common prefix for all source uris when hive partition detection is requested. The prefix must end immediately before the partition key encoding begins. For example, consider files following this data layout:

gs://bucket/path_to_table/dt=2019-01-01/country=BR/id=7/file.avro gs://bucket/path_to_table/dt=2018-12-31/country=CA/id=3/file.avro

When hive partitioning is requested with either AUTO or STRINGS mode, the common prefix can be either of gs://bucket/path_to_table or gs://bucket/path_to_table/ (trailing slash does not matter).

See #hive_partitioning_mode=.

Parameter

• source_uri_prefix (String) — The common prefix for all source uris.

Example

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

Parameter

• val (Boolean) —

  Indicates if BigQuery should allow extra values that are not represented in the table schema. If true, the extra values are ignored. If false, records with extra columns are treated as bad records, and if there are too many bad records, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is false.

  The format property determines what BigQuery treats as an extra value:

  • CSV: Trailing columns
  • JSON: Named values that don't match any column names

end

#jagged_rows=

def jagged_rows=(val)

Sets flag for allowing jagged rows.

Accept rows that are missing trailing optional columns. The missing values are treated as nulls. If false, records with missing trailing columns are treated as bad records, and if there are too many bad records, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is false. Only applicable to CSV, ignored for other formats.

Parameter

• val (Boolean) — Accept rows that are missing trailing optional columns.

#labels=

def labels=(val)

Sets the labels to use for the load job.

Parameter

• val (Hash) —

  The labels applied to a resource must meet the following requirements:

  • Each resource can have multiple labels, up to a maximum of 64.
  • Each label must be a key-value pair.
  • Keys have a minimum length of 1 character and a maximum length of 63 characters, and cannot be empty. Values can be empty, and have a maximum length of 63 characters.
  • Keys and values can contain only lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. All characters must use UTF-8 encoding, and international characters are allowed.
  • The key portion of a label must be unique. However, you can use the same key with multiple resources.
  • Keys must start with a lowercase letter or international character.

#location=

def location=(value)

Sets the geographic location where the job should run. Required except for US and EU.

Parameter

• value (String) — A geographic location, such as "US", "EU" or "asia-northeast1". Required except for US and EU.

Example

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
job = dataset.load_job "my_table", "gs://abc/file" do |j|
  j.schema do |s|
    s.string "first_name", mode: :required
    s.record "cities_lived", mode: :repeated do |r|
      r.string "place", mode: :required
      r.integer "number_of_years", mode: :required
    end
  end
  j.location = "EU"
end

#max_bad_records=

def max_bad_records=(val)

Sets the maximum number of bad records that can be ignored.

Parameter

• val (Integer) — The maximum number of bad records that BigQuery can ignore when running the job. If the number of bad records exceeds this value, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is 0, which requires that all records are valid.

#null_marker=

def null_marker=(val)

Sets the string that represents a null value in a CSV file.

Parameter

• val (String) — Specifies a string that represents a null value in a CSV file. For example, if you specify \N, BigQuery interprets \N as a null value when loading a CSV file. The default value is the empty string. If you set this property to a custom value, BigQuery throws an error if an empty string is present for all data types except for STRING and BYTE. For STRING and BYTE columns, BigQuery interprets the empty string as an empty value.

Adds a numeric number field to the schema. NUMERIC is a decimal type with fixed precision and scale. Precision is the number of digits that the number contains. Scale is how many of these digits appear after the decimal point. It supports:

Precision: 38 Scale: 9 Min: -9.9999999999999999999999999999999999999E+28 Max: 9.9999999999999999999999999999999999999E+28

This type can represent decimal fractions exactly, and is suitable for financial calculations.

See Schema#numeric
