bqr_query_asynch(projectId = bqr_get_global_project(),
  datasetId = bqr_get_global_dataset(), query, destinationTableId,
  useLegacySql = TRUE, writeDisposition = c("WRITE_EMPTY",
  "WRITE_TRUNCATE", "WRITE_APPEND"))

Arguments

projectId

projectId to be billed.

datasetId

datasetId of where query will execute.

query

The BigQuery query as a string.

destinationTableId

Id of table the results will be written to.

useLegacySql

Whether the query you pass is legacy SQL or not. Default TRUE

writeDisposition

Behaviour if destination table exists. See Details.

Details

For bigger queries, asynchronous queries save the results to another BigQuery table. You can check the progress of the job via bqr_get_job

You may now want to download this data. For large datasets, this is best done via extracting the BigQuery result to Google Cloud Storage, then downloading the data from there.

You can read how to create a bucket at Google Cloud Storage at https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/cloud-console

writeDisposition - behaviour if destinationTable already exists:

Value

A Job object to be queried via bqr_get_job
