Problem Note 68826: Inserting data into a Google BigQuery Table using the JDBC engine might fail with "...Value has type FLOAT64 which cannot be inserted into column..."
 |  |  |  |  |
Inserting data into a Google BigQuery table might result in the following error:
The error has been observed when the following are true:
- You use SAS/ACCESS® Interface to JDBC to write data to Google BigQuery.
- Your LIBNAME statement uses the BULKLOAD=YES table option. YES is the default value for this option. However, see Bulk Loading for JDBC.
- You use a Magnitude Simba driver that supports batch updates.
- The data type of the column that is being inserted is INTEGER.
To check whether your Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver supports batch updates, run a SASTRACE system option with your LIBNAME statement. Here is an example:
LIBNAME libref JDBC BULKLOAD=YES CLASSPATH="path-to-driver" DRIVER="driver-name" URL="jdbc:bigquery://https://www.googleapis.com/bigquery/v2:443;connection-options" ;
Check the log to see whether it contains a reference to supportsBatchUpdates. If it is set to TRUE, then the BULKLOAD option is supported by your driver. Here is an example:
Simba supplies the JDBC driver for Google BigQuery as a ZIP archive in this format: SimbaBigQueryJDBC42-[version-number].zip.
SAS has found that version 1.2.0.1000 of this driver does not support batch updates, but version 1.2.21.1025 does support batch updates.
The only workaround is to set the BULKLOAD=NO option in your LIBNAME statement.
