google-big-queryHow do I create a primary key in Google Big Query?
Creating a primary key in Google Big Query requires the use of the CREATE TABLE statement. The statement is used to define the columns of the table and the primary key. The primary key must be an existing column of the table and must be declared as such.
Example
CREATE TABLE my_table (
id INT64 NOT NULL,
name STRING,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
This statement will create a table called my_table
with two columns, id
and name
. The id
column will be the primary key and will be of type INT64
, meaning it must be a 64-bit integer.
Parts of the code:
CREATE TABLE my_table
: This statement creates a table with the namemy_table
.id INT64 NOT NULL
: This statement defines theid
column as anINT64
type and sets theNOT NULL
constraint, meaning that its value must not be empty.name STRING
: This statement defines thename
column as aSTRING
type.PRIMARY KEY (id)
: This statement declares theid
column as the primary key for the table.
