A Table that belongs to a Dataset .

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.6
requests >= 2.18.4
google-auth >= 1.3.0

Parameters ¶

Parameter					Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth_kind string / required					Choices: application machineaccount serviceaccount	The type of credential used.
clustering list / elements=string						One or more 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.
dataset string						Name of the dataset.
description string						A user-friendly description of the dataset.
encryption_configuration dictionary						Custom encryption configuration.
	kms_key_name string					Describes the Cloud KMS encryption key that will be used to protect destination BigQuery table. The BigQuery Service Account associated with your project requires access to this encryption key.
