Example
Deleting Dataset from BigQuery
This example Pipeline demonstrates how to delete a dataset from BigQuery.
First, configure the BigQuery Dataset Create Snap as highlighted in the image.
On validation, the BigQuery Dataset Create Snap creates a babynames_cd dataset in the case16370 Project ID.
Next, configure the BigQuery Dataset Delete Snap to delete the babynames_cd dataset that belongs to the case16370 Project ID.
On validation, the Snap deletes the content and displays the details of the deleted dataset and project.
Troubleshooting
