Catalog

Yes

Description

The name of your BigQuery project. This project is the default project that the Simba Google BigQuery ODBC Connector queries against, and is also the project that is billed for queries that are run using the DSN.

Simba ODBC Connector for Google BigQuery supports multiple catalogs, the equivalent of Google BigQuery projects.

For queries, tables in the projection list must be fully qualified, in the format of catalog.schema.table. If the catalog is not specified, the connector will assume the project specified by the Catalog connection option.

For catalog functions, to retrieve information from the desired catalog, the ODBC SQLSetConnectAttr method must be called with SQL_ATTR_CURRENT_CATALOG set to the desired catalog.

Note:

To use the High-Throughput API, the specified project must have the BigQuery Storage API enabled. For more information, see "Enabling the API" in the Google BigQuery documentation: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/storage/#enabling_the_api.
