## Simple dataset with access configuration
Access configuration defaults to using the separate `google_bigquery_dataset_access` resource, so as to leave the default dataset access rules untouched.
You can choose to manage the `google_bigquery_dataset` access rules instead via the `dataset_access` variable, but be sure to always have at least one `OWNER` access and to avoid duplicating accesses, or `terraform apply` will fail.
The access variables are split into `access` and `access_identities` variables, so that dynamic values can be passed in for identities (eg a service account email generated by a different module or resource).
```hcl
module "bigquery-dataset" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "my-project"
id = "my_dataset"
access = {
reader-group = { role = "READER", type = "group" }
owner = { role = "OWNER", type = "user" }
project_owners = { role = "OWNER", type = "special_group" }
view_1 = { role = "READER", type = "view" }
}
access_identities = {
reader-group = "playground-test@ludomagno.net"
owner = "ludo@ludomagno.net"
project_owners = "projectOwners"
view_1 = "my-project|my_dataset|my-table"
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=5 inventory=simple.yaml
```
## IAM roles
Access configuration can also be specified via IAM instead of basic roles via the `iam` variable. When using IAM, basic roles cannot be used via the `access` family variables.
```hcl
module "bigquery-dataset" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "my-project"
id = "my_dataset"
iam = {
"roles/bigquery.dataOwner" = ["user:user1@example.org"]
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2 inventory=iam.yaml
```
## Authorized Views, Datasets, and Routines
You can specify authorized [views](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/authorized-views), [datasets](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/authorized-datasets?hl=en), and [routines](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/authorized-routines) via the `authorized_views`, `authorized_datasets` and `authorized_routines` variables, respectively.
```hcl
// Create private BigQuery dataset that will not be publicly accessible, except via the authorized BigQuery resources
module "bigquery-dataset-private" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "private_project"
id = "private_dataset"
authorized_views = [
{
project_id = "auth_view_project"
dataset_id = "auth_view_dataset"
table_id = "auth_view"
}
]
authorized_datasets = [
{
project_id = "auth_dataset_project"
dataset_id = "auth_dataset"
}
]
authorized_routines = [
{
project_id = "auth_routine_project"
dataset_id = "auth_routine_dataset"
routine_id = "auth_routine"
}
]
}
// Create authorized view in a public dataset
module "bigquery-authorized-views-dataset-public" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "auth_view_project"
id = "auth_view_dataset"
views = {
auth_view = {
friendly_name = "Public"
labels = {}
query = "SELECT * FROM `private_project.private_dataset.private_table`"
use_legacy_sql = false
deletion_protection = true
}
}
}
// Create public authorized dataset
module "bigquery-authorized-dataset-public" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "auth_dataset_project"
id = "auth_dataset"
}
// Create public authorized routine
module "bigquery-authorized-authorized-routine-dataset-public" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "auth_routine_project"
id = "auth_routine_dataset"
}
resource "google_bigquery_routine" "public-routine" {
project = "private_project"
dataset_id = module.bigquery-authorized-authorized-routine-dataset-public.dataset_id
routine_id = "auth_routine"
routine_type = "TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION"
language = "SQL"
definition_body = <<-EOS
SELECT 1 + value AS value
EOS
arguments {
name = "value"
argument_kind = "FIXED_TYPE"
data_type = jsonencode({ "typeKind" = "INT64" })
}
return_table_type = jsonencode({ "columns" = [
{ "name" = "value", "type" = { "typeKind" = "INT64" } },
] })
}
# tftest modules=4 resources=9 inventory=authorized_resources.yaml
```
Authorized views can be specified both using the standard `access` options and the `authorized_views` blocks. The example configuration below uses both blocks, and will create a dataset with three authorized views `view_id_1`, `view_id_2`, and `view_id_3`.
```hcl
module "bigquery-dataset" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "my-project"
id = "my_dataset"
authorized_views = [
{
project_id = "view_project"
dataset_id = "view_dataset"
table_id = "view_id_1"
},
{
project_id = "view_project"
dataset_id = "view_dataset"
table_id = "view_id_2"
}
]
access = {
view_2 = { role = "READER", type = "view" }
view_3 = { role = "READER", type = "view" }
}
access_identities = {
view_2 = "view_project|view_dataset|view_id_2"
view_3 = "view_project|view_dataset|view_id_3"
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=4 inventory=authorized_resources_views.yaml
```
## Dataset options
Dataset options are set via the `options` variable. all options must be specified, but a `null` value can be set to options that need to use defaults.
```hcl
module "bigquery-dataset" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "my-project"
id = "my_dataset"
options = {
default_table_expiration_ms = 3600000
default_partition_expiration_ms = null
delete_contents_on_destroy = false
max_time_travel_hours = 168
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=1 inventory=options.yaml
```
## Tables, views and routines
Tables are created via the `tables` variable. Support for external tables will be added in a future release.
```hcl
locals {
countries_schema = jsonencode([
{ name = "country", type = "STRING" },
{ name = "population", type = "INT64" },
])
}
module "bigquery-dataset" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "my-project"
id = "my_dataset"
tables = {
countries = {
friendly_name = "Countries"
schema = local.countries_schema
deletion_protection = true
}
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2 inventory=tables.yaml
```
If partitioning is needed, populate the `partitioning` variable using either the `time` or `range` attribute.
```hcl
locals {
countries_schema = jsonencode([
{ name = "country", type = "STRING" },
{ name = "population", type = "INT64" },
])
}
module "bigquery-dataset" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "my-project"
id = "my_dataset"
tables = {
table_a = {
deletion_protection = true
friendly_name = "Table a"
schema = local.countries_schema
partitioning = {
time = { type = "DAY", expiration_ms = null }
}
}
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2 inventory=partitioning.yaml
```
To create views use the `views` variable. If you're querying a table created by the same module `terraform apply` will initially fail and eventually succeed once the underlying table has been created. You can probably also use the module's output in the view's query to create a dependency on the table.
```hcl
locals {
countries_schema = jsonencode([
{ name = "country", type = "STRING" },
{ name = "population", type = "INT64" },
])
}
module "bigquery-dataset" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "my-project"
id = "my_dataset"
tables = {
countries = {
friendly_name = "Countries"
schema = local.countries_schema
deletion_protection = true
}
}
views = {
population = {
friendly_name = "Population"
query = "SELECT SUM(population) FROM my_dataset.countries"
use_legacy_sql = false
deletion_protection = true
}
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=3 inventory=views.yaml
```
To create routines use the `routines` variable.
```hcl
module "bigquery-dataset" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "my-project"
id = "my_dataset"
routines = {
custom_masking_routine = {
routine_type = "SCALAR_FUNCTION"
language = "SQL"
data_governance_type = "DATA_MASKING"
definition_body = "SAFE.REGEXP_REPLACE(ssn, '[0-9]', 'X')"
return_type = "{\"typeKind\" : \"STRING\"}"
arguments = {
ssn = {
data_type = "{\"typeKind\" : \"STRING\"}"
}
}
}
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2 inventory=routines.yaml
```
## Tag bindings
Refer to the [Creating and managing tags](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/tags/tags-creating-and-managing) documentation for details on usage.
```hcl
module "org" {
source = "./fabric/modules/organization"
organization_id = var.organization_id
tags = {
environment = {
description = "Environment specification."
values = {
dev = {}
prod = {}
sandbox = {}
}
}
}
}
module "bigquery-dataset" {
source = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
project_id = "my-project"
id = "my_dataset"
tag_bindings = {
env-sandbox = module.org.tag_values["environment/sandbox"].id
}
}
# tftest modules=2 resources=6
```
## TODO
- [ ] check for dynamic values in tables and views
