)

Arguments

dataset	character string with dataset name
project	character string with project name
billing	character(1) with billing code

Examples

if (interactive()) {
 cgcConn
 require(bigrquery)
 # defaults concern new GDC-compliant format
 if (nchar(Sys.getenv("CGC_BILLING"))>0) {
     clin = cgcConn()
     dbListTables(clin)
 }
}
