Methods

#arguments

def arguments() -> Array<Argument>, nil

The input/output arguments of the routine. Optional.

Returns
  • (Array<Argument>, nil) — An array of argument objects, or nil if the object is a reference (see #reference?).
Example 
require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
routine = dataset.routine "my_routine"

puts "#{routine.routine_id} arguments:"
routine.arguments.each do |arguments|
  puts "* #{arguments.name}"
end

#arguments=

def arguments=(new_arguments)

Updates the input/output arguments of the routine. Optional.

Parameter
  • new_arguments (Array<Argument>) — The new arguments.
Example 
require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
routine = dataset.routine "my_routine"

routine.arguments = [
  Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Argument.new(name: "x", data_type: "INT64")
]

#body

def body() -> String, nil

The body of the routine. Required.

For functions (#scalar_function?), this is the expression in the AS clause.

When the routine is a SQL function (#sql?), it is the substring inside (but excluding) the parentheses. For example, for the function created with the following statement: CREATE FUNCTION JoinLines(x string, y string) as (concat(x, "\n", y)) The definition_body is concat(x, "\n", y) (\n is not replaced with linebreak).

When the routine is a JavaScript function (#javascript?), it is the evaluated string in the AS clause. For example, for the function created with the following statement: CREATE FUNCTION f() RETURNS STRING LANGUAGE js AS 'return "\n";\n' The definition_body is "return &quot;\n&quot;;\n"` Note that both \n are replaced with linebreaks.

Returns
  • (String, nil) — The body of the routine, or nil if the object is a reference (see #reference?).

#body=

def body=(new_body)

Updates the body of the routine. Required.

For functions (#scalar_function?), this is the expression in the AS clause.

When the routine is a SQL function (#sql?), it is the substring inside (but excluding) the parentheses. For example, for the function created with the following statement: CREATE FUNCTION JoinLines(x string, y string) as (concat(x, "\n", y)) The definition_body is concat(x, "\n", y) (\n is not replaced with linebreak).

When the routine is a JavaScript function (#javascript?), it is the evaluated string in the AS clause.

routine.description #=> "My routine description"
routine.description = "My updated routine description"

#determinism_level

def determinism_level() -> String, nil

The JavaScript UDF determinism level. Optional.

  • DETERMINISTIC - Deterministic indicates that two calls with the same input to a UDF yield the same output. If all JavaScript UDFs are DETERMINISTIC, the query result is potentially cachable.
  • NOT_DETERMINISTIC - Not deterministic indicates that the output of the UDF is not guaranteed to yield the same output each time for a given set of inputs. If any JavaScript UDF is NOT_DETERMINISTIC, the query result is not cacheable.

Even if a JavaScript UDF is deterministic, many other factors can prevent usage of cached query results. Example factors include but not limited to: DDL/DML, non-deterministic SQL function calls, update of referenced tables/views/UDFs or imported JavaScript libraries. SQL UDFs cannot have determinism specified. Their determinism is automatically determined.

Returns
  • (String, nil) — The routine determinism level in upper case, or nil if not set or the object is a reference (see #reference?).
Example 
require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
routine = dataset.routine "my_routine"

routine.determinism_level #=> "NOT_DETERMINISTIC"

#determinism_level=

def determinism_level=(new_determinism_level)

Updates the JavaScript UDF determinism level. Optional.

  • DETERMINISTIC - Deterministic indicates that two calls with the same input to a UDF yield the same output. If all JavaScript UDFs are DETERMINISTIC, the query result is potentially cachable.
  • NOT_DETERMINISTIC - Not deterministic indicates that the output of the UDF is not guaranteed to yield the same output each time for a given set of inputs. If any JavaScript UDF is NOT_DETERMINISTIC, the query result is not cacheable.
Parameter
  • new_determinism_level (String, nil) — The new routine determinism level in upper case.
Example 
require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
routine = dataset.routine "my_routine"

routine.determinism_level #=> "NOT_DETERMINISTIC"
routine.determinism_level = "DETERMINISTIC"

#determinism_level_not_deterministic?

def determinism_level_not_deterministic?() -> Boolean

Checks if the value of #determinism_level is NOT_DETERMINISTIC. The default is false.

Example 
require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new

dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"

#return_type

def return_type() -> Google::Cloud::Bigquery::StandardSql::DataType, nil

The return type of the routine. Optional if the routine is a SQL function (#sql?); required otherwise.

If absent, the return type is inferred from #body at query time in each query that references this routine. If present, then the evaluated result will be cast to the specified returned type at query time.

For example, for the functions created with the following statements:

  • CREATE FUNCTION Add(x FLOAT64, y FLOAT64) RETURNS FLOAT64 AS (x + y);
  • CREATE FUNCTION Increment(x FLOAT64) AS (Add(x, 1));
  • CREATE FUNCTION Decrement(x FLOAT64) RETURNS FLOAT64 AS (Add(x, -1));

The returnType is {typeKind: "FLOAT64"} for Add and Decrement, and is absent for Increment (inferred as FLOAT64 at query time).

Suppose the function Add is replaced by CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Add(x INT64, y INT64) AS (x + y);

Then the inferred return type of Increment is automatically changed to INT64 at query time, while the return type of Decrement remains FLOAT64.

Returns
Example 
require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
routine = dataset.routine "my_routine"

routine.return_type.type_kind #=> "INT64"

#return_type=

def return_type=(new_return_type)

Updates the return type of the routine. Optional if the routine is a SQL function (#sql?); required otherwise.

If absent, the return type is inferred from #body at query time in each query that references this routine. If present, then the evaluated result will be cast to the specified returned type at query time.

For example, for the functions created with the following statements:

  • CREATE FUNCTION Add(x FLOAT64, y FLOAT64) RETURNS FLOAT64 AS (x + y);
  • CREATE FUNCTION Increment(x FLOAT64) AS (Add(x, 1));
  • CREATE FUNCTION Decrement(x FLOAT64) RETURNS FLOAT64 AS (Add(x, -1));

The returnType is {typeKind: "FLOAT64"} for Add and Decrement, and is absent for Increment (inferred as FLOAT64 at query time).

Suppose the function Add is replaced by CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Add(x INT64, y INT64) AS (x + y);

Then the inferred return type of Increment is automatically changed to INT64 at query time, while the return type of Decrement remains FLOAT64.
