Table External Data Configuration
Constructors
Types
Properties
Indicates if BigQuery should allow extra values that are not represented in the table schema. If true, the extra values are ignored. If false, records with extra columns are treated as bad records, and if there are too many bad records, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is false.
A JSON schema for the external table. Schema is required for CSV and JSON formats if autodetect is not on. Schema is disallowed for Google Cloud Bigtable, Cloud Datastore backups, Avro, ORC and Parquet formats. ~>NOTE: Because this field expects a JSON string, any changes to the string will create a diff, even if the JSON itself hasn't changed. Furthermore drift for this field cannot not be detected because BigQuery only uses this schema to compute the effective schema for the table, therefore any changes on the configured value will force the table to be recreated. This schema is effectively only applied when creating a table from an external datasource, after creation the computed schema will be stored in google_bigquery_table.schema
