BigQuery datasets

Description

Basic create-read-update-delete verbs for datasets.

Usage

bq_dataset_create(x, location = "US", ...)

bq_dataset_meta(x, fields = NULL)

bq_dataset_exists(x)

bq_dataset_update(x, ...)

bq_dataset_delete(x, delete_contents = FALSE)

bq_dataset_tables(x, page_size = 50, max_pages = Inf, warn = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	A bq_dataset
location	Dataset location
...	Additional arguments passed on to the underlying API call. snake_case names are automatically converted to camelCase.
fields	An optional field specification for partial response
delete_contents	If TRUE, will recursively delete all tables in the dataset. Set to FALSE by default for safety.
page_size	Number of items per page.
max_pages	Maximum number of pages to retrieve. Use Inf to retrieve all pages (this may take a long time!)
warn	If TRUE, warn when there are unretrieved pages.
