Object

Example

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.create_table "my_table"

table.schema do |schema|
  schema.string "first_name", mode: :required
  schema.record "cities_lived", mode: :repeated do |cities_lived|
    cities_lived.string "place", mode: :required
    cities_lived.integer "number_of_years", mode: :required
  end
end

Methods

.dump

def self.dump(schema, destination) -> Schema

Write a schema as JSON to a file.

The JSON schema file is the same as for the bq CLI.

Parameters

schema (Schema) — A Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Schema.
destination (IO, String) — An IO to which to write the schema, or a String containing the filename to write to.

Returns

(Schema) — The schema so that commands are chainable.

Example

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"
schema = Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Schema.dump(
  table.schema,
  "schema.json"
)

.load

def self.load(source) -> Schema

Load a schema from a JSON file.

The JSON schema file is the same as for the bq CLI consisting of an array of JSON objects containing the following:

name: The column name
type: The column's data type
description: (Optional) The column's description
mode: (Optional) The column's mode (if unspecified, mode defaults to NULLABLE)
fields: If type is RECORD, an array of objects defining child fields with these properties

Parameter

source (IO, String, Array<Hash>) — An IO containing the JSON schema, a String containing the JSON schema, or an Array of Hashes containing the schema details.

Returns

(Schema) — A schema.

Example

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

schema = Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Schema.load(
  File.read("schema.json")
)

#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.
