Defining Google BigQuery Functions

The following properties are applicable to a Google BigQuery Function object.

Tab	Property	Description	Additional Information
	Name	Specifies the name of the function
	Dataset	Specifies the dataset to which the function belongs
	Project	Specifies the project to which the dataset belongs
	If Not Exists	Specifies that if the function already exists, no exception is thrown, and no action happens
	Use Replace Syntax	Specifies whether the REPLACE syntax is used	Selecting this option replaces the syntax with the new DDL that is generated during Forward Engineering
	Aggregate	Specifies whether the function is an aggregate	Ensure that the Function Type is not set to Table or Remote when you use the Aggregate function. The aggregate function now supports SQL and JavaScript user defined functions.
	Generate	Specifies whether a DDL statement is generated for the function during forward engineering
General	User Defined Context	Specifies the user defined contexts of the remote function. These contain a JSON object with the key-value pair.
	Function Type	Specifies the type of function	Temp: Indicates a temporary function Table: Indicates a table-valued function Remote: Indicates a remote function
	Language	Specifies the language in which the function is defined	Available when Function Type is set to Temp
	Is Deterministic	Specifies whether the function always returns the same result when it is passed the same arguments	Available when Function Type is set to Temp. True: Indicates that the function always returns the same result when passed the same arguments, and therefore is cacheable False: Indicates that the function does not always return the same result when passed the same arguments, and therefore is not cacheable
	Return Data Type	Specifies the data type of the result that the function returns	Available when Function Type is set to Remote
	Connection Name	Specifies the external connection name for the remote function	Available when Function Type is set to Remote
	Function Body	Specifies the function expression
	Library	Specifies an array of JavaScript libraries to include in the function definition	Available when Function Type is set to Temp
	Endpoint	Specifies the endpoint URL to access the remote function	Available when Function Type is set to Remote
	Max Batching Rows	Specifies the maximum number of rows should be batched for a HTTP request to avoid function time out	Available when Function Type is set to Remote
Parameters	Parameters	Specifies name of parameters
	Physical Data Type	Specifies the data type of parameters
	Not Aggregate	Specifies that the parameter is not aggregate
Return Table Columns	Return Table Columns	Specifies the schema of table columns that the function returns
Return Table Columns	Physical Data Type	Specifies the data type of table columns that the function returns
Code		Specifies the template code of the stored procedure that can include SQL statements and macros
Expanded	Expanded Code	Specifies the expanded code of function
