Create the connection to the database with DBI::dbConnect() then
use dplyr::tbl() to connect to tables within that database. Generally,
it's best to provide the fully qualified name of the table (i.e.
project.dataset.table) but if you supply a default dataset in the
connection, you can use just the table name. (This, however, will
prevent you from making joins across datasets.)
Arguments
- project
project id or name
- dataset
dataset name
- billing
billing project, if different to
project- max_pages
(IGNORED) maximum pages returned by a query
Examples
if (FALSE) {
library(dplyr)
# To run this example, replace billing with the id of one of your projects
# set up for billing
con <- DBI::dbConnect(bigquery(), project = bq_test_project())
shakespeare <- con %>% tbl("publicdata.samples.shakespeare")
shakespeare
shakespeare %>%
group_by(word) %>%
summarise(n = sum(word_count, na.rm = TRUE)) %>%
arrange(desc(n))
}
