google-big-queryHow do I use Google Big Query to define data types?


Google BigQuery is a powerful cloud-based data warehouse solution that allows users to define data types. Data types are used to specify the type of data that is stored in a column. The following example code demonstrates how to define data types in BigQuery:

# Standard SQL
CREATE TABLE my_table (
  id INT64,
  name STRING,
  age INT64
)

The code creates a table called my_table with three columns: id, name, and age. The code specifies that the id column is of type INT64, the name column is of type STRING, and the age column is of type INT64.

Code explanation

  • CREATE TABLE: This part of the code creates a table.
  • my_table: This is the name of the table being created.
  • id INT64: This part of the code creates a column called id with the data type INT64.
  • name STRING: This part of the code creates a column called name with the data type STRING.
  • age INT64: This part of the code creates a column called age with the data type INT64.
