Table
Table
Table objects are returned by methods such as
Dataset#table, Dataset#createTable, and
Dataset#getTables.
Constructor
new Table(dataset, id, optionsopt)
Parameters:
| Name |
Type |
Attributes |
Description |
dataset |
Dataset
|
|
Dataset instance.
|
id |
string
|
|
The ID of the table.
|
options |
object
|
<optional>
|
Table options.
Properties
| Name |
Type |
Attributes |
Description |
location |
string
|
<optional>
|
The geographic location of the table, by
default this value is inherited from the dataset. This can be used to
configure the location of all jobs created through a table instance. It
cannot be used to set the actual location of the table. This value will
be superseded by any API responses containing location data for the
table.

|
Example
```
const {BigQuery} = require('@google-cloud/bigquery');
const bigquery = new BigQuery();
const dataset = bigquery.dataset('my-dataset');
const table = dataset.table('my-table');
```
Members
createReadStream
Example
```
const {BigQuery} = require('@google-cloud/bigquery');
const bigquery = new BigQuery();
const dataset = bigquery.dataset('my-dataset');
const table = dataset.table('my-table');
table.createReadStream(options)
.on('error', console.error)
.on('data', row => {})
.on('end', function() {
// All rows have been retrieved.
});
//-
// If you anticipate many results, you can end a stream early to prevent
// unnecessary processing and API requests.
//-
table.createReadStream()
.on('data', function(row) {
this.end();
});
```

get(optionsopt, callbackopt) → {Promise.<GetTableResponse>}
Get a table if it exists.
You may optionally use this to "get or create" an object by providing
an object with autoCreate set to true. Any extra configuration that
is normally required for the create method must be contained within
this object as well.
If you wish to get a selection of metadata instead of the full table metadata
(retrieved by both Table#get by default and by Table#getMetadata), use
the options parameter to set the view and/or selectedFields query parameters.
