Hello,

I tried to run the following commands, but it failed

`
project <-"isb-cgc-test-173402"
theTable <- "isb-cgc:tcga_201510_alpha.Clinical_data"

querySql <- paste("SELECT COUNT(1) FROM [", theTable, "]", sep="")
querySql

result <- query_exec(querySql, project=project)
result

Error: Access Denied: Table isb-cgc:tcga_201510_alpha.Clinical_data: The user wisekh6@gmail.com does not have permission to query table isb-cgc:tcga_201510_alpha.Clinical_data.
`
I believe 'isb-cgc:tcga_201510_alpha.Clinical_data' will be publicly available, and therefore, I would have permission to access. But, I might be wrong.

I wonder if you can let me know how to avoid this error.

Best,

The isb-cgc:tcga_201510_alpha BigQuery dataset is no longer public as it is out of date -- the direct replacement dataset is isb-cgc:tcga_201607_beta. Since then, however, we started changing some terminology (eg from "Participant" to "case") in order to align more closely with the Genomic Data Commons (NCI-GDC), and the newest dataset is isb-cgc:TCGA_bioclin_v0. We recommend that you use the most recent BigQuery tables as described in our documentation here -- although note that field names have changed.

Got it.
Thank you so much for your quick response.

Of course -- if you have any comments or other questions about the ISB-CGC tables in BigQuery or any of the other ISB-CGC resources (documentation here), please let us know. If you haven't already seen it, please take a look at our "Query of the Month" page here -- it has some great examples showing the power of BigQuery and how to combine that with the power of R.
