BigQuery DBI driver

Creates a BigQuery DBI driver for use in DBI::dbConnect().

# S4 method for class 'BigQueryDriver'
dbConnect(
  drv,
  project,
  dataset = NULL,
  billing = project,
  page_size = 10000,
  quiet = NA,
  use_legacy_sql = FALSE,
  bigint = c("integer", "integer64", "numeric", "character"),
  ...
)

Arguments

drv

an object that inherits from DBIDriver, or an existing DBIConnection object (in order to clone an existing connection).

project, dataset

Project and dataset identifiers

billing

Identifier of project to bill.

page_size

Number of items per page.

quiet

If FALSE, displays progress bar; if TRUE is silent; if NA picks based on whether or not you're in an interactive context.

use_legacy_sql

If TRUE will use BigQuery's legacy SQL format.

bigint

The R type that BigQuery's 64-bit integer types should be mapped to. The default is "integer" which returns R's integer type but results in NA for values above/below +/- 2147483647. "integer64" returns a bit64::integer64, which allows the full range of 64 bit integers.

...

Other arguments for compatibility with generic; currently ignored.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # bq_testable()
con <- DBI::dbConnect(
  bigquery(),
  project = "publicdata",
  dataset = "samples",
  billing = bq_test_project()
)
con
DBI::dbListTables(con)
DBI::dbReadTable(con, "natality", n_max = 10)

# Create a temporary dataset to explore
ds <- bq_test_dataset()
con <- DBI::dbConnect(
  bigquery(),
  project = ds$project,
  dataset = ds$dataset
)
DBI::dbWriteTable(con, "mtcars", mtcars)
DBI::dbReadTable(con, "mtcars")[1:6, ]

DBI::dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT count(*) FROM mtcars")

res <- DBI::dbSendQuery(con, "SELECT cyl, mpg FROM mtcars")
dbColumnInfo(res)
dbFetch(res, 10)
dbFetch(res, -1)
DBI::dbHasCompleted(res)
}
