Code sample

Java

Before trying this sample, follow the Java setup instructions in the BigQuery quickstart using client libraries. For more information, see the BigQuery Java API reference documentation.

To authenticate to BigQuery, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for client libraries. 

// Create a source dataset to store your table.
final Dataset sourceDataset = bigquery.create(DatasetInfo.of(sourceDatasetId));
// Populate a source table
String tableQuery =
    "SELECT commit, author, committer, repo_name"
        + " FROM `bigquery-public-data.github_repos.commits`"
        + " LIMIT 1000";
QueryJobConfiguration queryConfig =
    QueryJobConfiguration.newBuilder(tableQuery)
        .setDestinationTable(TableId.of(sourceDatasetId, sourceTableId))
        .build();
bigquery.query(queryConfig);
// Create a separate dataset to store your view
Dataset sharedDataset = bigquery.create(DatasetInfo.of(sharedDatasetId));
// Create the view in the new dataset
String viewQuery =
    String.format(
        "SELECT commit, author.name as author, "
            + "committer.name as committer, repo_name FROM %s.%s.%s",
        projectId, sourceDatasetId, sourceTableId);
ViewDefinition viewDefinition = ViewDefinition.of(viewQuery);
Table view =
    bigquery.create(TableInfo.of(TableId.of(sharedDatasetId, sharedViewId), viewDefinition));
// Assign access controls to the dataset containing the view
List<Acl> viewAcl = new ArrayList<>(sharedDataset.getAcl());
viewAcl.add(Acl.of(new Acl.Group("example-analyst-group@google.com"), Acl.Role.READER));
sharedDataset.toBuilder().setAcl(viewAcl).build().update();
// Authorize the view to access the source dataset
List<Acl> srcAcl = new ArrayList<>(sourceDataset.getAcl());
srcAcl.add(Acl.of(new Acl.View(view.getTableId())));
sourceDataset.toBuilder().setAcl(srcAcl).build().update();
