Adding labels to resources

This page explains how to label your BigQuery resources.

Before you begin

Grant Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles that give users the necessary permissions to perform each task in this document. Any permissions required to perform a task are listed in the "Required IAM roles" section of the task.

Add labels to datasets

A label can be added to a BigQuery dataset when it is created by using the bq command-line tool's bq mk command or by calling the datasets.insert API method. You cannot add a label to a dataset when it's created using the Google Cloud console.

This page discusses how to add a label to a dataset after it is created. For more information on adding a label when you create a dataset, see Creating a dataset.

When you add a label to a dataset, it does not propagate to resources within the dataset. Dataset labels are not inherited by tables or views. Also, when you add a label to a dataset, it is included in your storage billing data, but not in your job-related billing data.

For more details on the format of a label, see Requirements for labels.

Required IAM roles

To get the permission that you need to add a label to an existing dataset, ask your administrator to grant you the BigQuery Data Editor (roles/bigquery.dataEditor) IAM role. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

This predefined role contains the bigquery.datasets.update permission, which is required to add a label to an existing dataset.

You might also be able to get this permission with custom roles or other predefined roles.

For more information on IAM roles and permissions in BigQuery, see Predefined roles and permissions.

Add a label to a dataset

To add a label to a dataset after it is created:

Console
  1. In the Google Cloud console, select the dataset.

  2. On the dataset details page, click the pencil icon to the right of Labels.

  3. In the Edit labels dialog:

SQL

Use the ALTER SCHEMA SET OPTIONS DDL statement to set the labels on an existing dataset. Setting labels overwrites any existing labels on the dataset. The following example sets a label on the dataset mydataset:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the BigQuery page.

    Go to BigQuery

  2. In the query editor, enter the following statement:

    ALTER SCHEMA mydataset
    SET OPTIONS (
      labels = [('sensitivity', 'high')]);
  3. Click play_circle Run.

For more information about how to run queries, see Run an interactive query.

bq

To add a label to an existing dataset, issue the bq update command with the set_label flag. Repeat the flag to add multiple labels.

If the dataset is in a project other than your default project, add the project ID to the dataset in the following format: PROJECT_ID:DATASET.

bq update --set_label KEY:VALUE PROJECT_ID:DATASET

Replace the following:

Examples:

To add a label to track departments, enter the bq update command and specify department as the label key. For example, to add a department:shipping label to mydataset in your default project, enter:

    bq update --set_label department:shipping mydataset

To add multiple labels to a dataset, repeat the set_label flag and specify a unique key for each label.For example, to add a department:shipping label and cost_center:logistics label to mydataset in your default project, enter:

    bq update \
    --set_label department:shipping \
    --set_label cost_center:logistics \
    mydataset
API

To add a label to an existing dataset, call the datasets.patch method and populate the labels property for the dataset resource.

Because the datasets.update method replaces the entire dataset resource, the datasets.patch method is preferred.

Add labels to tables and views

This page discusses how to add a label to an existing table or view. For more information on adding a label when you create a table or view, see Creating a table or Creating a view.

Because views are treated like table resources, you use the tables.patch method to modify both views and tables.

Note: Table and view labels are not included in billing data. Required IAM roles

To get the permissions that you need to add a label to an existing table or view, ask your administrator to grant you the BigQuery Data Editor (roles/bigquery.dataEditor) IAM role. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

This predefined role contains the permissions required to add a label to an existing table or view. To see the exact permissions that are required, expand the Required permissions section:

Required permissions

The following permissions are required to add a label to an existing table or view:

You might also be able to get these permissions with custom roles or other predefined roles.

For more information on IAM roles and permissions in BigQuery, see Predefined roles and permissions.

Add a label to a table or view

To add a label to an existing table or view:

Console
  1. In the Google Cloud console, select the table, or view.

  2. Click the Details tab.

  3. Click the pencil icon to the right of Labels.

  4. In the Edit labels dialog:

SQL

Use the ALTER TABLE SET OPTIONS DDL statement to set the labels on an existing table, or the ALTER VIEW SET OPTIONS DDL statement to set the labels on an existing view. Setting labels overwrites any existing labels on the table or view. The following example sets two labels on the table mytable:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the BigQuery page.

    Go to BigQuery

  2. In the query editor, enter the following statement:

    ALTER TABLE mydataset.mytable
    SET OPTIONS (
      labels = [('department', 'shipping'), ('cost_center', 'logistics')]);
  3. Click play_circle Run.

For more information about how to run queries, see Run an interactive query.

bq

To add a label to an existing table or view, issue the bq update command with the set_label flag. To add multiple labels, repeat the flag.

If the table or view is in a project other than your default project, add the project ID to the dataset in the following format: project_id:dataset.

bq update \
--set_label KEY:VALUE \
PROJECT_ID:DATASET.TABLE_OR_VIEW

Replace the following:

Examples:

To add a table label that tracks departments, enter the bq update command and specify department as the label key. For example, to add a department:shipping label to mytable in your default project, enter:

    bq update --set_label department:shipping mydataset.mytable

To add a view label that tracks departments, enter the bq update command and specify department as the label key. For example, to add a department:shipping label to myview in your default project, enter:

    bq update --set_label department:shipping mydataset.myview

To add multiple labels to a table or view, repeat the set_label flag and specify a unique key for each label. For example, to add a department:shipping label and cost_center:logistics label to mytable in your default project, enter:

    bq update \
    --set_label department:shipping \
    --set_label cost_center:logistics \
    mydataset.mytable
API

To add a label to an existing table or view, call the tables.patch method and populate the labels property for the table resource.

Because views are treated like table resources, you use the tables.patch method to modify both views and tables.

Because the tables.update method replaces the entire dataset resource, the tables.patch method is preferred.

Add labels to jobs

Labels can be added to query jobs through the command line by using the bq command-line tool's --label flag. The bq tool supports adding labels only to query jobs.

You can also add a label to a job when it's submitted through the API by specifying the labels property in the job configuration when you call the jobs.insert method. The API can be used to add labels to any job type.

You cannot add labels to or update labels on pending, running, or completed jobs.

When you add a label to a job, the label is included in your billing data.

Required IAM roles

To get the permission that you need to add a label to a job, ask your administrator to grant you the BigQuery User (roles/bigquery.user) IAM role. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

This predefined role contains the bigquery.jobs.create permission, which is required to add a label to a job.

You might also be able to get this permission with custom roles or other predefined roles.

For more information on IAM roles and permissions in BigQuery, see Predefined roles and permissions.

Add a label to a job

To add a label to a job:

bq

To add a label to a query job, issue the bq query command with the --label flag. To add multiple labels, repeat the flag. The flag indicates that your query is in GoogleSQL syntax.

bq query --label KEY:VALUE  'QUERY'

Replace the following:

Examples:

To add a label to a query job, enter:

    bq query \
    --label department:shipping \
     \
    'SELECT
       column1, column2
     FROM
       `mydataset.mytable`'

To add multiple labels to a query job, repeat the --label flag and specify a unique key for each label. For example, to add a department:shipping label and cost_center:logistics label to a query job, enter:

    bq query \
    --label department:shipping \
    --label cost_center:logistics \
     \
    'SELECT
       column1, column2
     FROM
       `mydataset.mytable`'
API

To add a label to a job, call the jobs.insert method and populate the labels property for the job configuration. You can use the API to add labels to any job type.

Python

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

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

Associate jobs in a session with a label

If you are running queries in a session, you can assign a label to all future query jobs in the session using BigQuery multi-statement queries.

SQL

Set the @@query_label system variable in the session by running this query:

  SET @@query_label = "KEY:VALUE";
  

Example:

  SET @@query_label = "cost_center:logistics";
  
API

To add a label to a query job in a session when you run a query using an API call, call the jobs.insert method and populate the query_label property for the connectionProperties job configuration.

After you have associated a query label with a session and run queries inside the session, you can collect audit logs for queries with that query label. For more information, see the Audit log reference for BigQuery.

Add a label to a reservation

Preview

This product or feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms. Pre-GA products and features are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.

When you add a label to a reservation, the label is included in your billing data. You can use the labels to filter the Analysis Slots Attribution SKU in your Cloud Billing data.

For more information about using labels in your billing data, see Use Filters to refine data.

Required IAM roles

To get the permission that you need to add a label to a reservation, ask your administrator to grant you the BigQuery Resource Editor (roles/bigquery.resourceEditor) IAM role on the administration project. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

This predefined role contains the bigquery.reservations.update permission, which is required to add a label to a reservation.

You might also be able to get this permission with custom roles or other predefined roles.

Add a label to a reservation

To add a label to a reservation:

SQL

To add a label to a reservation, use the ALTER RESERVATION SET OPTIONS DDL statement. Setting labels overwrites any existing labels on the reservation. The following example sets a label on the reservation myreservation:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the BigQuery page.

    Go to BigQuery

  2. In the query editor, enter the following statement:

    ALTER RESERVATION myreservation
    SET OPTIONS (
      labels = [('sensitivity', 'high')]);
  3. Click play_circle Run.

For more information about how to run queries, see Run an interactive query.

bq

To add a label to a reservation, issue the bq update command with the set_label flag and the --reservation flag. To add multiple labels, repeat the set_label flag.

bq update --set_label KEY:VALUE --location LOCATION --reservation RESERVATION_NAME

Replace the following:

Add a label without a value

A label that has a key with an empty value is sometimes called a tag. This shouldn't be confused with a tag resource. For more information, see labels and tags. You can create a new label with no value, or you can remove a value from an existing label key.

Labels without values can be useful in situations where you are labeling a resource, but you don't need the key-value format. For example, if a table contains test data that is used by multiple groups, such as support or development, you can add a test_data label to the table to identify it.

To add a label without a value:

Console
  1. In the Google Cloud console, select the appropriate resource (a dataset, table, or view).

  2. For datasets, the dataset details page is automatically opened. For tables and views, click Details to open the details page.

  3. On the details page, click the pencil icon to the right of Labels.

  4. In the Edit labels dialog:

SQL

To add a label without a value, use the ALTER TABLE SET OPTIONS DDL statement:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the BigQuery page.

    Go to BigQuery

  2. In the query editor, enter the following statement:

    ALTER TABLE mydataset.mytable
    SET OPTIONS (
      labels=[("key1", ""), ("key2", "")]);
  3. Click play_circle Run.

For more information about how to run queries, see Run an interactive query.

bq

To add a label without a value to an existing resource, use the bq update command with the set_label flag. Specify the key, followed by a colon, but leave the value unspecified.

bq update --set_label KEY: RESOURCE_ID

Replace the following:

Examples:

Enter the following command to create a test_data label for mydataset.mytable. mydataset is in your default project.

bq update --set_label test_data: mydataset
API

Call the datasets.patch method or the tables.patch method and add labels with the value set to the empty string ("") in the dataset resource or the table resource. You can remove values from existing labels by replacing their values with the empty string.

Because views are treated like table resources, you use the tables.patch method to modify both views and tables. Also, because the tables.update method replaces the entire dataset resource, the tables.patch method is preferred.
