Dataset

class Dataset

Dataset on Redivis are the entity where data is stored. Datasets are made up of tables, non-tabular files, and various metadata. Datasets can be owned by a user or organization, and are version controlled.

Constructors

Organization$dataset(dataset_reference)	Construct a new dataset instance that references a dataset owned by an organization.
Organization$list_datasets([max_results])	Returns a list of Datasets owned by an organization.
User$dataset(dataset_reference)	Construct a new dataset instance that references a dataset owned by a user.
User$list_datasets([max_results])	Returns a list of Datasets owned by a user.

Examples

Basics

dataset <- redivis$organization("Demo")$dataset("US Fires")

# Will raise an error if the dataset doesn't exists
# Can first call dataset$exists() to check for existence
dataset$get()

print(dataset$properties) # A named list of dataset properties

Create

dataset <- redivis$user("my_username")$dataset("My dataset")

dataset$create(public_access_level="overview")

print(dataset$properties)

New version

dataset <- redivis$user("my_username")$dataset("My dataset")

dataset <- dataset$create_next_version()

# Coming soon: uploading data via R, see Python library
    
dataset.release()

Query

dataset <- redivis$organization("Demo")$dataset("CMS 2014 Medicare Data")

# The home_health_agencies table is assumed to be within the dataset,
#   since it isn't otherwise qualified
query = dataset$query("""
    SELECT * FROM home_health_agencies
    WHERE state = 'CA'
""")

print(query$to_tibble())

Fields

Name	Description
organization	A reference to the Organization instance that constructed this dataset. Will be None if the dataset belongs to a user.
properties	A named list containing the API resource representation of the dataset. This will be fully populated after calling get(), create_next_version(), and release(), otherwise will be None. This will also be partially populated for datasets returned via the Organization$list_datasets and User$list_datasets methods
qualified_reference	The fully qualified reference for the dataset, which can be used in SQL queries or the REST API. E.g., demo.ghcn_daily_weather_data:v1_1:7br5
scoped_reference	The canonical reference for the dataset, without the username qualifier. E.g.,: ghcn_daily_weather_data:v1_1:7br5
user	A reference to the User instance that constructed this dataset. Will be None if the dataset belongs to an organization.

Methods

Dataset$create([public_access_level, ...])	Create a new dataset.
Dataset$create_next_version([if_not_exists])	Create a "next" (unreleased) version on the dataset. Data can only be uploaded to unreleased versions.
Dataset$delete()	Delete the dataset.
Dataset$exists()	Check whether the dataset exists.
Dataset$get()	Get the dataset, populating the properties on the current instance.
Dataset$list_tables([max_results])	List all tables in the dataset.
Dataset$query(query_string)	Create a query scoped to the dataset.
Dataset$release()	Release the next version of the dataset.
Dataset$table(table_reference)	Create a reference to a specific table within the dataset.
Dataset$unrelease()	Unrelease the current version of the dataset.
Dataset$update([name, public_access_level, ...])	Update certain attributes on the dataset.
