DB-API Reference
Google BigQuery implementation of the Database API Specification v2.0.
This module implements thePython Database API Specification v2.0 (DB-API)for Google BigQuery.
google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.Binary(string)
Contruct a DB-API binary value.
Parameters
string (str) – A string to encode as a binary value.
Returns
The UTF-8 encoded bytes representing the string.
Return type
class google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.Connection(client, bqstorage_client=None)
Bases:object
DB-API Connection to Google BigQuery.
Parameters
client (google.cloud.bigquery.Client) – A client used to connect to BigQuery.
bqstorage_client (Optional[google.cloud.bigquery_storage_v1beta1.BigQueryStorageClient]) – [Beta] An alternative client that uses the faster BigQuery StorageAPI to fetch rows from BigQuery. If both clients are given,
bqstorage_clientis used first to fetch query results,with a fallback onclient, if necessary.NOTE: There is a known issue with the BigQuery Storage API with smallanonymous result sets, which results in such fallback.
https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery-storage/issues/2
close()
No-op.
commit()
No-op.
cursor()
Return a new cursor object.
Returns
A DB-API cursor that uses this connection.
Return type
google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.Cursor
class google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.Cursor(connection)
Bases:object
DB-API Cursor to Google BigQuery.
Parameters
connection (google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.Connection) – A DB-API connection to Google BigQuery.
close()
No-op.
execute(operation, parameters=None, job_id=None, job_config=None)
Prepare and execute a database operation.
NOTE: When setting query parameters, values which are “text”(unicode in Python2,str in Python3) will usethe ‘STRING’ BigQuery type. Values which are “bytes” (str inPython2,bytes in Python3), will use using the ‘BYTES’ type.
A ~datetime.datetime parameter without timezone information usesthe ‘DATETIME’ BigQuery type (example: Global Pi Day CelebrationMarch 14, 2017 at 1:59pm). A ~datetime.datetime parameter withtimezone information uses the ‘TIMESTAMP’ BigQuery type (example:a wedding on April 29, 2011 at 11am, British Summer Time).
For more information about BigQuery data types, see:https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-types
STRUCT/RECORD andREPEATED query parameters are notyet supported. See:https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python/issues/3524
Parameters
operation (str) – A Google BigQuery query string.
parameters (Union[Mapping[str, **Any], **Sequence[Any]]) – (Optional) dictionary or sequence of parameter values.
job_id (str) – (Optional) The job_id to use. If not set, a job IDis generated at random.
job_config (google.cloud.bigquery.job.QueryJobConfig) – (Optional) Extra configuration options for the query job.
executemany(operation, seq_of_parameters)
Prepare and execute a database operation multiple times.
Parameters
fetchall()
Fetch all remaining results from the lastexecute\*() call.
Returns
A list of all the rows in the results.
Return type
List[Tuple]
Raises
google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.InterfaceError – if called before
execute().
fetchmany(size=None)
Fetch multiple results from the lastexecute\*() call.
NOTE: The size parameter is not used for the request/response size.Set thearraysize attribute before callingexecute() toset the batch size.
Parameters
size (int) – (Optional) Maximum number of rows to return. Defaults to the
arraysizeproperty value. Ifarraysizeis not set, it defaults to1.Returns
A list of rows.
Return type
List[Tuple]
Raises
google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.InterfaceError – if called before
execute().
fetchone()
Fetch a single row from the results of the lastexecute\*() call.
Returns
A tuple representing a row or
Noneif no more data is available.Return type
Tuple
Raises
google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.InterfaceError – if called before
execute().
setinputsizes(sizes)
No-op.
setoutputsize(size, column=None)
No-op.
exception google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.DataError()
Bases:google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.exceptions.DatabaseError
DB-API error due to problems with the processed data.
exception google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.DatabaseError()
Bases:google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.exceptions.Error
DB-API error related to the database.
google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.Date()
alias ofdatetime.date
google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.DateFromTicks(timestamp, /)
Create a date from a POSIX timestamp.
The timestamp is a number, e.g. created via time.time(), that is interpretedas local time.
exception google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.Error()
Bases:Exception

exception google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.IntegrityError()
Bases:google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.exceptions.DatabaseError
DB-API error when integrity of the database is affected.
exception google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.InterfaceError()
Bases:google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.exceptions.Error
DB-API error related to the database interface.
exception google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.InternalError()
Bases:google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.exceptions.DatabaseError
DB-API error when the database encounters an internal error.
exception google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.NotSupportedError()
Bases:google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.exceptions.DatabaseError
DB-API error for operations not supported by the database or API.
exception google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.OperationalError()
Bases:google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.exceptions.DatabaseError
DB-API error related to the database operation.
These errors are not necessarily under the control of the programmer.
exception google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.ProgrammingError()
Bases:google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.exceptions.DatabaseError
DB-API exception raised for programming errors.
google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.Time()
alias ofdatetime.time
google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.TimeFromTicks(ticks, tz=None)
