Class DataSourceTable

DataSourceTable

Access and modify existing data source table. To create a new data source table on a new sheet, use Spreadsheet.insertSheetWithDataSourceTable(spec).

Only use this class with data that's connected to a database.

This example shows how to create a new data source table.

SpreadsheetApp.enableBigQueryExecution();
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var spec = SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec()
           .asBigQuery()
           .setProjectId('big_query_project')
           .setRawQuery('select @FIELD from table limit @LIMIT')
           .setParameterFromCell('FIELD', 'Sheet1!A1')
           .setParameterFromCell('LIMIT', 'namedRangeCell')
           .build();
// Starts data execution asynchronously.
var dataSheet = spreadsheet.insertSheetWithDataSourceTable(spec);
var dataSourceTable = dataSheet.getDataSourceTables()[0];
// waitForCompletion() blocks script execution until data execution completes.
dataSourceTable.waitForCompletion(60);
// Check status after execution.
Logger.log("Data execution state: %s.", dataSourceTable.getStatus().getExecutionState());

This example shows how to edit a data source.

SpreadsheetApp.enableBigQueryExecution();
var dataSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Data Sheet 1");
var dataSourceTable = dataSheet.getDataSourceTables()[0];
var dataSource = dataSourceTable.getDataSource();
var newSpec = dataSource.getSpec()
              .copy()
              .asBigQuery()
              .setRawQuery('select name from table limit 2')
              .removeAllParameters()
              .build();
// Updates data source specification and starts data execution asynchronously.
dataSource.updateSpec(newSpec);
// Check status during execution.
Logger.log("Data execution state: %s.", dataSourceTable.getStatus().getExecutionState());
// waitForCompletion() blocks script execution until data execution completes.
dataSourceTable.waitForCompletion(60);
// Check status after execution.
Logger.log("Data execution state: %s.", dataSourceTable.getStatus().getExecutionState());
