Specifies the number of seconds to wait between status checks when polling for query completion.

Syntax

Connect-GoogleBigQuery -PollingInterval string

Data Type

cstr

Default Value

"1"

Remarks

This property applies only to queries where results are stored to a table instead of streamed directly to the cmdlet. Polling occurs in the following scenarios:

• DestinationTable is set.
• AllowLargeResultSets is set to true and the query exceeds the Timeout threshold.
• UseStorageAPI is enabled and the query is too complex for immediate streaming.

In these cases, the cmdlet submits the query and checks periodically to determine if results are ready. PollingInterval defines how many seconds to wait between each status check.

For example: PollingInterval=5 causes the cmdlet to wait 5 seconds between polling attempts.

Using a shorter interval increases the number of API requests, which may be unnecessary for longer-running queries. A longer interval reduces polling frequency, but may delay result retrieval slightly after query completion.
