Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud AutoML V1beta1 API class Google::Cloud::AutoML::V1beta1::ColumnSpec.
A representation of a column in a relational table. When listing them, column specs are returned in the same order in which they were
given on import .
Used by:
(::Google::Cloud::AutoML::V1beta1::DataStats) — Output only. Stats of the series of values in the column.
This field may be stale, see the ancestor's
Dataset.tables_dataset_metadata.stats_update_time field
for the timestamp at which these stats were last updated.
value (::Google::Cloud::AutoML::V1beta1::DataStats) — Output only. Stats of the series of values in the column.
This field may be stale, see the ancestor's
Dataset.tables_dataset_metadata.stats_update_time field
for the timestamp at which these stats were last updated.
Returns
(::Google::Cloud::AutoML::V1beta1::DataStats) — Output only. Stats of the series of values in the column.
This field may be stale, see the ancestor's
Dataset.tables_dataset_metadata.stats_update_time field

(::String) — Output only. The name of the column to show in the interface. The name can
be up to 100 characters long and can consist only of ASCII Latin letters
A-Z and a-z, ASCII digits 0-9, underscores(_), and forward slashes(/), and
must start with a letter or a digit.
#display_name=
defdisplay_name=(value)->::String
Parameter
value (::String) — Output only. The name of the column to show in the interface. The name can
be up to 100 characters long and can consist only of ASCII Latin letters
A-Z and a-z, ASCII digits 0-9, underscores(_), and forward slashes(/), and
must start with a letter or a digit.
Returns
(::String) — Output only. The name of the column to show in the interface. The name can
be up to 100 characters long and can consist only of ASCII Latin letters
A-Z and a-z, ASCII digits 0-9, underscores(_), and forward slashes(/), and
must start with a letter or a digit.
#etag
defetag()->::String
Returns
(::String) — Used to perform consistent read-modify-write updates. If not set, a blind
"overwrite" update happens.
#etag=
defetag=(value)->::String
Parameter
value (::String) — Used to perform consistent read-modify-write updates. If not set, a blind
"overwrite" update happens.
Returns
(::String) — Used to perform consistent read-modify-write updates. If not set, a blind
"overwrite" update happens.
#name
defname()->::String
Returns
(::String) — Output only. The resource name of the column specs.
