The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view contains one row for each option of each routine in a dataset.

Required permissions

To query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view, you need the following Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions:

• bigquery.routines.get
• bigquery.routines.list

Each of the following predefined IAM roles includes the permissions that you need in order to get routine metadata:

• roles/bigquery.admin
• roles/bigquery.metadataViewer
• roles/bigquery.dataViewer

For more information about BigQuery permissions, see Access control with IAM.

Schema

When you query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view, the query results contain one row for each option of each routine in a dataset.

The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view has the following schema:

Column name	Data type	Value
SPECIFIC_CATALOG	STRING	The name of the project that contains the routine where the option is defined
SPECIFIC_SCHEMA	STRING	The name of the dataset that contains the routine where the option is defined
SPECIFIC_NAME	STRING	The name of the routine
OPTION_NAME	STRING	One of the name values in the options table
OPTION_TYPE	STRING	One of the data type values in the options table
OPTION_VALUE	STRING	One of the value options in the options table

Options table

OPTION_NAME	OPTION_TYPE	OPTION_VALUE
description	STRING	The description of the routine, if defined
library	ARRAY	The names of the libraries referenced in the routine. Only applicable to JavaScript UDFs
data_governance_type	DataGovernanceType	The name of supported data governance type. For example, DATA_MASKING.

Scope and syntax

Queries against this view must include a dataset or a region qualifier. For more information see Syntax. The following table explains the region and resource scopes for this view:

View name	Resource scope	Region scope
[PROJECT_ID.]`region-REGION`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS	Project level	REGION
[PROJECT_ID.]DATASET_ID.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS	Dataset level	Dataset location

Replace the following:

• Optional: PROJECT_ID: the ID of your Google Cloud project. If not specified, the default project is used.
• REGION: any dataset region name. For example, region-us.
• DATASET_ID: the ID of your dataset. For more information, see Dataset qualifier.

Note: You must specify the location to query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views and the location of the query execution must match the region of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA view.

Example

-- Returns metadata for routines in a single dataset.
SELECT * FROM myDataset.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS;

-- Returns metadata for routines in a region.
SELECT * FROM region-us.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS;

Example

Example 1:

The following example retrieves the routine options for all routines in mydataset in your default project (myproject) by querying the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view:

SELECT
  *
FROM
  mydataset.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS;

Note: INFORMATION_SCHEMA view names are case-sensitive.

The result is similar to the following:
