BigQuery API - Class Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Project (v1.50.0)

Reference documentation and code samples for the BigQuery API class Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Project.

Project

Projects are top-level containers in Google Cloud Platform. They store information about billing and authorized users, and they contain BigQuery data. Each project has a friendly name and a unique ID.

Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Project is the main object for interacting with Google BigQuery. Dataset objects are created, accessed, and deleted by Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Project.

See Google::Cloud#bigquery.

Inherits

  • Object

Example

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

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

Methods

#copy

def copy(source_table, destination_table, create: nil, write: nil, &block) { |job| ... } -> Boolean

Copies the data from the source table to the destination table using a synchronous method that blocks for a response. Timeouts and transient errors are generally handled as needed to complete the job. See #copy_job for the asynchronous version. Use this method instead of Table#copy to copy from source tables in other projects.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via CopyJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method.

Parameters
  • source_table (String, Table) — The source table for the copied data. This can be a table object; or a string ID as specified by the Standard SQL Query Reference (project-name.dataset_id.table_id) or the Legacy SQL Query Reference (project-name:dataset_id.table_id).
  • destination_table (String, Table) — The destination table for the copied data. This can be a table object; or a string ID as specified by the Standard SQL Query Reference (project-name.dataset_id.table_id) or the Legacy SQL Query Reference (project-name:dataset_id.table_id).
  • create (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables. The default value is needed.

    The following values are supported:

    • needed - Create the table if it does not exist.
    • never - The table must already exist. A 'notFound' error is raised if the table does not exist.
  • write (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies how to handle data already present in the destination table. The default value is empty.

    The following values are supported:

    • truncate - BigQuery overwrites the table data.
    • append - BigQuery appends the data to the table.
    • empty - An error will be returned if the destination table already contains data.
Yields
  • (job) — a job configuration object
Yield Parameter
Returns
  • (Boolean) — Returns true if the copy operation succeeded.
Example 
require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
destination_table = dataset.table "my_destination_table"

bigquery.copy "bigquery-public-data.samples.shakespeare",
              destination_table

#copy_job

def copy_job(source_table, destination_table, create: nil, write: nil, job_id: nil, prefix: nil, labels: nil) { |job| ... } -> Google::Cloud::Bigquery::CopyJob

Copies the data from the source table to the destination table using an asynchronous method. In this method, a CopyJob is immediately returned. The caller may poll the service by repeatedly calling Job#reload! and Job#done? to detect when the job is done, or simply block until the job is done by calling #Job#wait_until_done!. See #copy for the synchronous version. Use this method instead of Table#copy_job to copy from source tables in other projects.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via CopyJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method.

Parameters
  • source_table (String, Table) — The source table for the copied data. This can be a table object; or a string ID as specified by the Standard SQL Query Reference (project-name.dataset_id.table_id) or the Legacy SQL Query Reference (project-name:dataset_id.table_id).
  • destination_table (String, Table) — The destination table for the copied data. This can be a table object; or a string ID as specified by the Standard SQL Query Reference (project-name.dataset_id.table_id) or the Legacy SQL Query Reference (project-name:dataset_id.table_id).
  • create (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables. The default value is needed.

    The following values are supported:

    • needed - Create the table if it does not exist.
    • never - The table must already exist. A 'notFound' error is raised if the table does not exist.
  • write (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies how to handle data already present in the destination table. The default value is empty.

    The following values are supported:

    • truncate - BigQuery overwrites the table data.
    • append - BigQuery appends the data to the table.
    • empty - An error will be returned if the destination table already contains data.
  • job_id (String) (defaults to: nil) — A user-defined ID for the copy job. The ID must contain only letters ([A-Za-z]), numbers ([0-9]), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.

    See Generating a job ID.

  • prefix (String) (defaults to: nil) — A string, usually human-readable, that will be prepended to a generated value to produce a unique job ID. For example, the prefix daily_import_job_ can be given to generate a job ID such as daily_import_job_12vEDtMQ0mbp1Mo5Z7mzAFQJZazh. The prefix must contain only letters ([A-Za-z]), numbers ([0-9]), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length of the entire ID is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.
  • labels (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    A hash of user-provided labels associated with the job. You can use these to organize and group your jobs.

    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.
Yields

#extract

def extract(source, extract_url, format: nil, compression: nil, delimiter: nil, header: nil, &block) { |job| ... } -> Boolean

Extracts the data from a table or exports a model to Google Cloud Storage using a synchronous method that blocks for a response. Timeouts and transient errors are generally handled as needed to complete the job. See #extract_job for the asynchronous version.

Use this method instead of Table#extract or Model#extract to extract data from source tables or models in other projects.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via ExtractJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method.

Parameters
  • source (Table, Model, String) — The source table or model for the extract operation. This can be a table or model object; or a table ID string as specified by the Standard SQL Query Reference (project-name.dataset_id.table_id) or the Legacy SQL Query Reference (project-name:dataset_id.table_id).
  • extract_url (Google::Cloud::Storage::File, String, Array<String>) — The Google Storage file or file URI pattern(s) to which BigQuery should extract. For a model export this value should be a string ending in an object name prefix, since multiple objects will be exported.
  • format (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The exported file format. The default value for tables is csv. Tables with nested or repeated fields cannot be exported as CSV. The default value for models is ml_tf_saved_model.

    Supported values for tables:

    Supported values for models:

    • ml_tf_saved_model - TensorFlow SavedModel
    • ml_xgboost_booster - XGBoost Booster
  • compression (String) (defaults to: nil) — The compression type to use for exported files. Possible values include GZIP and NONE. The default value is NONE. Not applicable when extracting models.
  • delimiter (String) (defaults to: nil) — Delimiter to use between fields in the exported table data. Default is ,. Not applicable when extracting models.
  • header (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — Whether to print out a header row in table exports. Default is true. Not applicable when extracting models.
Yields
  • (job) — a job configuration object
Yield Parameter
Returns
  • (Boolean) — Returns true if the extract operation succeeded.

#load

def load(table_id, files, dataset_id: "_SESSION", format: nil, create: nil, write: nil, projection_fields: nil, jagged_rows: nil, quoted_newlines: nil, encoding: nil, delimiter: nil, ignore_unknown: nil, max_bad_records: nil, quote: nil, skip_leading: nil, schema: nil, autodetect: nil, null_marker: nil, session_id: nil, &block) { |updater| ... } -> Boolean

Loads data into the provided destination table using a synchronous method that blocks for a response. Timeouts and transient errors are generally handled as needed to complete the job. See also #load_job.

For the source of the data, you can pass a google-cloud storage file path or a google-cloud-storage File instance. Or, you can upload a file directly. See Loading Data with a POST Request.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via LoadJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method.

Parameters
  • table_id (String) — The destination table to load the data into.
  • files (File, Google::Cloud::Storage::File, String, URI, Array<Google::Cloud::Storage::File, String, URI>) — A file or the URI of a Google Cloud Storage file, or an Array of those, containing data to load into the table.
  • format (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The exported file format. The default value is csv.

    The following values are supported:

  • create (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables. The default value is needed.

    The following values are supported:

    • needed - Create the table if it does not exist.
    • never - The table must already exist. A 'notFound' error is raised if the table does not exist.
  • dataset_id (String) (defaults to: "_SESSION") — The destination table to load the data into. For load job with session it defaults to "_SESSION"
  • write (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies how to handle data already present in the table. The default value is append.

    The following values are supported:

    • truncate - BigQuery overwrites the table data.
    • append - BigQuery appends the data to the table.
    • empty - An error will be returned if the table already contains data.
  • projection_fields (Array<String>) (defaults to: nil) — If the format option is set to datastore_backup, indicates which entity properties to load from a Cloud Datastore backup. Property names are case sensitive and must be top-level properties. If not set, BigQuery loads all properties. If any named property isn't found in the Cloud Datastore backup, an invalid error is returned.
  • jagged_rows (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — 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.
  • quoted_newlines (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — Indicates if BigQuery should allow quoted data sections that contain newline characters in a CSV file. The default value is false.
  • autodetect (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — Indicates if BigQuery should automatically infer the options and schema for CSV and JSON sources. The default value is false.
  • encoding (String) (defaults to: nil) — The character encoding of the data. The supported values are UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1. The default value is UTF-8.
  • delimiter (String) (defaults to: nil) — Specifices the separator for fields in a CSV file. BigQuery converts the string to ISO-8859-1 encoding, and then uses the first byte of the encoded string to split the data in its raw, binary state. Default is ,.
  • ignore_unknown (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    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
  • max_bad_records (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — 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 (String) (defaults to: nil) — 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.
  • quote (String) (defaults to: nil) — The value that is used to quote data sections in a CSV file. BigQuery converts the string to ISO-8859-1 encoding, and then uses the first byte of the encoded string to split the data in its raw, binary state. The default value is a double-quote ". If your data does not contain quoted sections, set the property value to an empty string. If your data contains quoted newline characters, you must also set the allowQuotedNewlines property to true.
  • skip_leading (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — The number of rows at the top of a CSV file that BigQuery will skip when loading the data. The default value is 0. This property is useful if you have header rows in the file that should be skipped.
  • schema (Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Schema) (defaults to: nil) — The schema for the destination table. Optional. The schema can be omitted if the destination table already exists, or if you're loading data from a Google Cloud Datastore backup.

    See #schema for the creation of the schema for use with this option. Also note that for most use cases, the block yielded by this method is a more convenient way to configure the schema.

  • session_id (string) (defaults to: nil) — Session ID in which the load job must run.
Yields
  • (updater) — A block for setting the schema of the destination table and other options for the load job. The schema can be omitted if the destination table already exists, or if you're loading data from a Google Cloud Datastore backup.
Yield Parameter
Returns
  • (Boolean) — Returns true if the load job was successful.
Example 
require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new

Loads data into the provided destination table using an asynchronous method. In this method, a LoadJob is immediately returned. The caller may poll the service by repeatedly calling Job#reload! and Job#done? to detect when the job is done, or simply block until the job is done by calling #Job#wait_until_done!. See also #load.

For the source of the data, you can pass a google-cloud storage file path or a google-cloud-storage File instance. Or, you can upload a file directly. See Loading Data with a POST Request.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via LoadJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method.

#query

def query(query, params: nil, types: nil, external: nil, max: nil, cache: true, dataset: nil, project: nil, standard_sql: nil, legacy_sql: nil, session_id: nil, &block) { |job| ... } -> Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Data

Queries data and waits for the results. In this method, a QueryJob is created and its results are saved to a temporary table, then read from the table. Timeouts and transient errors are generally handled as needed to complete the query. When used for executing DDL/DML statements, this method does not return row data.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via QueryJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method.

Parameters
  • query (String) — A query string, following the BigQuery query syntax, of the query to execute. Example: "SELECT count(f1) FROM [myProjectId:myDatasetId.myTableId]".
  • params (Array, Hash) (defaults to: nil) — Standard SQL only. Used to pass query arguments when the query string contains either positional (?) or named (@myparam) query parameters. If value passed is an array ["foo"], the query must use positional query parameters. If value passed is a hash { myparam: "foo" }, the query must use named query parameters. When set, legacy_sql will automatically be set to false and standard_sql to true.

    BigQuery types are converted from Ruby types as follows:

    | BigQuery | Ruby | Notes | |--------------|--------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------| | BOOL | true/false | | | INT64 | Integer | | | FLOAT64 | Float | | | NUMERIC | BigDecimal | BigDecimal values will be rounded to scale 9. | | BIGNUMERIC | BigDecimal | NOT AUTOMATIC: Must be mapped using types, below.| | STRING | String | | | DATETIME | DateTime | DATETIME does not support time zone. | | DATE | Date | | | GEOGRAPHY | String (WKT or GeoJSON) | NOT AUTOMATIC: Must be mapped using types, below.| | JSON | String (Stringified JSON) | String, as JSON does not have a schema to verify. | | TIMESTAMP | Time | | | TIME | Google::Cloud::BigQuery::Time | | | BYTES | File, IO, StringIO, or similar | | | ARRAY | Array | Nested arrays, nil values are not supported. | | STRUCT | Hash | Hash keys may be strings or symbols. |

    See Data Types for an overview of each BigQuery data type, including allowed values. For the GEOGRAPHY type, see Working with BigQuery GIS data.

  • types (Array, Hash) (defaults to: nil) — Standard SQL only. Types of the SQL parameters in params. It is not always possible to infer the right SQL type from a value in params. In these cases, types must be used to specify the SQL type for these values.

    Arguments must match the value type passed to params. This must be an Array when the query uses positional query parameters. This must be an Hash when the query uses named query parameters. The values should be BigQuery type codes from the following list:

    • :BOOL
    • :INT64
    • :FLOAT64
    • :NUMERIC
    • :BIGNUMERIC
    • :STRING
    • :DATETIME
    • :DATE
    • :GEOGRAPHY
    • :JSON
    • :TIMESTAMP
    • :TIME
    • :BYTES
    • Array - Lists are specified by providing the type code in an array. For example, an array of integers are specified as [:INT64].
    • Hash - Types for STRUCT values (Hash objects) are specified using a Hash object, where the keys match the params hash, and the values are the types value that matches the data.

    Types are optional.

  • external (Hash<String|Symbol, External::DataSource>) (defaults to: nil) — A Hash that represents the mapping of the external tables to the table names used in the SQL query. The hash keys are the table names, and the hash values are the external table objects. See #query.
  • max (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — The maximum number of rows of data to return per page of results. Setting this flag to a small value such as 1000 and then paging through results might improve reliability when the query result set is large. In addition to this limit, responses are also limited to 10 MB. By default, there is no maximum row count, and only the byte limit applies.
  • cache (Boolean) (defaults to: true) — Whether to look for the result in the query cache. The query cache is a best-effort cache that will be flushed whenever tables in the query are modified. The default value is true. For more information, see query caching.
  • dataset (String) (defaults to: nil) — Specifies the default datasetId and projectId to assume for any unqualified table names in the query. If not set, all table names in the query string must be qualified in the format 'datasetId.tableId'.
  • project (String) (defaults to: nil) — Specifies the default projectId to assume for any unqualified table names in the query. Only used if dataset option is set.
  • standard_sql (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — Specifies whether to use BigQuery's standard SQL dialect for this query. If set to true, the query will use standard SQL rather than the legacy SQL dialect. When set to true, the values of large_results and flatten are ignored; the query will be run as if large_results is true and flatten is false. Optional. The default value is true.
  • legacy_sql (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — Specifies whether to use BigQuery's legacy SQL dialect for this query. If set to false, the query will use BigQuery's standard SQL When set to false, the values of large_results and flatten are ignored; the query will be run as if large_results is true and flatten is false. Optional. The default value is false.
  • session_id (String) (defaults to: nil) — The ID of an existing session. See the create_session param in #query_job and Job#session_id.
Yields
  • (job) — a job configuration object

    • truncate - BigQuery overwrites the table data.
    • append - BigQuery appends the data to the table.
    • empty - A 'duplicate' error is returned in the job result if the table exists and contains data.
  • dryrun (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — If set to true, BigQuery doesn't run the job. Instead, if the query is valid, BigQuery returns statistics about the job such as how many bytes would be processed. If the query is invalid, an error returns. The default value is false.
  • dataset (Dataset, String) (defaults to: nil) — The default dataset to use for unqualified table names in the query. Optional.
  • project (String) (defaults to: nil) — Specifies the default projectId to assume for any unqualified table names in the query. Only used if dataset option is set.
  • standard_sql (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — Specifies whether to use BigQuery's standard SQL dialect for this query. If set to true, the query will use standard SQL rather than the legacy SQL dialect. Optional. The default value is true.
  • legacy_sql (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — Specifies whether to use BigQuery's legacy SQL dialect for this query. If set to false, the query will use BigQuery's standard SQL dialect. Optional. The default value is false.
  • large_results (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — This option is specific to Legacy SQL. If true, allows the query to produce arbitrarily large result tables at a slight cost in performance. Requires table parameter to be set.
  • flatten (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — This option is specific to Legacy SQL. Flattens all nested and repeated fields in the query results. The default value is true. large_results parameter must be true if this is set to false.
  • maximum_billing_tier (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — Limits the billing tier for this job. Queries that have resource usage beyond this tier will fail (without incurring a charge). WARNING: The billed byte amount can be multiplied by an amount up to this number! Most users should not need to alter this setting, and we recommend that you avoid introducing new uses of it. Deprecated.
  • maximum_bytes_billed (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — Limits the bytes billed for this job. Queries that will have bytes billed beyond this limit will fail (without incurring a charge). Optional. If unspecified, this will be set to your project default.
  • job_id (String) (defaults to: nil) — A user-defined ID for the query job. The ID must contain only letters ([A-Za-z]), numbers ([0-9]), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.

    See Generating a job ID.

  • prefix (String) (defaults to: nil) — A string, usually human-readable, that will be prepended to a generated value to produce a unique job ID. For example, the prefix daily_import_job_ can be given to generate a job ID such as daily_import_job_12vEDtMQ0mbp1Mo5Z7mzAFQJZazh. The prefix must contain only letters ([A-Za-z]), numbers ([0-9]), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length of the entire ID is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.

    See Generating a job ID.

  • labels (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    A hash of user-provided labels associated with the job. You can use these to organize and group your jobs.

    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.
  • udfs (Array<String>, String) (defaults to: nil) — User-defined function resources used in a legacy SQL query. May be either a code resource to load from a Google Cloud Storage URI (gs://bucket/path), or an inline resource that contains code for a user-defined function (UDF). Providing an inline code resource is equivalent to providing a URI for a file containing the same code.

    This parameter is used for defining User Defined Function (UDF) resources only when using legacy SQL. Users of standard SQL should leverage either DDL (e.g. CREATE [TEMPORARY] FUNCTION ...) or the Routines API to define UDF resources.

    For additional information on migrating, see: Migrating to standard SQL - Differences in user-defined JavaScript functions

  • create_session (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — If true, creates a new session, where the session ID will be a server generated random id. If false, runs query with an existing session ID when one is provided in the session_id param, otherwise runs query in non-session mode. See Job#session_id. The default value is false.
  • session_id (String) (defaults to: nil) — The ID of an existing session. See also the create_session param and Job#session_id.
Yields
  • (job) — a job configuration object
Yield Parameter
Returns
