google-big-queryHow can I create a Google BigQuery table?


Creating a Google BigQuery table is a simple process.

First, you must have a Google Cloud Platform account and be signed in to the Google Cloud Console.

Once logged in, you can create a new dataset by navigating to the BigQuery web UI.

To create a new table, you must specify a dataset to contain the table and provide a table name.

You can also optionally specify a schema, which defines the table structure.

For example, the following code creates a new table called my_table in a dataset called my_dataset:

#standardSQL
CREATE TABLE my_dataset.my_table (
  id INT64,
  name STRING
);

The schema defines two columns, id and name, with data types of INT64 and STRING respectively.

Once the table is created, you can insert data into it, query it, and perform other operations.
