google-big-queryHow do I start using Google Big Query?


  1. First, create a Google Cloud Platform account and enable BigQuery. You can do this by going to the Google Cloud Platform Console.

  2. Once you have your account created, you can go to the BigQuery Console and start querying your data.

  3. To query data, you can use the standard SQL syntax. For example, you can use the following query to select all the records from a table called "users":

SELECT * FROM `project.dataset.users`;
  1. If you want to save the query results, you can use the --destination_table flag. For example, to save the results of the above query to a table called "users_copy":
SELECT * FROM `project.dataset.users`
--destination_table project.dataset.users_copy;
  1. You can also use the BigQuery API to programmatically interact with BigQuery. The API supports a variety of languages, including Python, Node.js, Java, and Go.

  2. To get started with the BigQuery API, you can use the Quickstart guide.

  3. For more information about BigQuery, you can check out the BigQuery Documentation.
