bqr_upload_data issues with special characters

[rafaxalv]

Hi,

Im uploading some dataframes from R to big query. When using bigquery package I had no issues.
When I upload with BigQueryR I have problems with special characters. Is there any configuration I should do?

I see in the source code that there is an encoding being applied at the step of the CSV creation.

bqr_upload_data(projectId = billing, datasetId = clientname, tableId = 'Lancamentos_Financeiros', upload_data = lancamentosFinanceiros , create = c("CREATE_IF_NEEDED"), schema = NULL, wait = F, autodetect = TRUE, nullMarker = NULL, maxBadRecords = NULL, allowJaggedRows = FALSE, allowQuotedNewlines = FALSE, fieldDelimiter = ",")

Also. bqr_upload_data is significantly slower than bq_perform_upload. Is there something I can set to reduce upload times?

I imagine bigrquery is using the more performant BigQuery storage API and is in general more maintained than this library. Is there a reason you are using bigQueryR vs bigrquery?
