R: Retrieve table metadata

get_table {bigrquery} | R Documentation

## Retrieve table metadata

### Description

`get_table` returns a table's metadata as a nested list. In addition to a regular error, the condition `bigrquery_notFound` (which can be handled via `base::tryCatch()`) is raised if the table could not be found.

`exists_table` merely checks if a table exists, and returns either `TRUE` or `FALSE`.

### Usage

    get_table(project, dataset, table)

    exists_table(project, dataset, table)

### Arguments

`project` | The project name, a string
`dataset` | The name of the dataset to create, a string
`table` | name of the table

### Value

A table resource list, as described by https://developers.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/v2/tables
