DataSourceSpec
Access the general settings of an existing data source spec. To access data source spec for certain type, use as...() method. To create a new data source spec, use SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec().
Only use this class with data that's connected to a database.
This example shows how to get information from a BigQuery data source spec.
This example shows how to get information from a Looker data source spec. Using asLooker() returns a LookerDataSourceSpec object.
