Add a date loaded field when uploading csv to big query












0














Using Python.
Is there any way to add an extra field while processing a csv file to Big Query.
I'd like to add a date_loaded field with the current date ?



Google code example I have used ..



# from google.cloud import bigquery
# client = bigquery.Client()
# dataset_id = 'my_dataset'

dataset_ref = client.dataset(dataset_id)
job_config = bigquery.LoadJobConfig()
job_config.schema = [
bigquery.SchemaField('name', 'STRING'),
bigquery.SchemaField('post_abbr', 'STRING')
]
job_config.skip_leading_rows = 1
# The source format defaults to CSV, so the line below is optional.
job_config.source_format = bigquery.SourceFormat.CSV
uri = 'gs://cloud-samples-data/bigquery/us-states/us-states.csv'
load_job = client.load_table_from_uri(
uri,
dataset_ref.table('us_states'),
job_config=job_config) # API request
print('Starting job {}'.format(load_job.job_id))

load_job.result() # Waits for table load to complete.
print('Job finished.')

destination_table = client.get_table(dataset_ref.table('us_states'))
print('Loaded {} rows.'.format(destination_table.num_rows))

    Does date partitioned tables work for you? If not, maybe a better approach would be to use apache beam instead. If still it doesnt work, then only way out I see is to bring this data to local, iterate over it and add the date field. If you are working with lots of data this is not recommended though.

    ..or load it into a staging/tmp table in BigQuery then hit it with SQL, and add the date_loaded field as part of that SQL transform. Write the results to your main table. If you use ingestion based partition table, just be aware that its's in UTC unless you address the partition directly (cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/…)
