google-big-queryHow do I use the syntax of Google Big Query?


Google BigQuery is a serverless, highly scalable, and cost-effective cloud data warehouse. It supports a wide range of standard SQL syntax, making it easy to query data stored in BigQuery.

The following is an example of the syntax used to query a table in BigQuery:

SELECT *
FROM `project-name.dataset-name.table-name`

This query will return all the columns and rows from the specified table.

You can also use the WHERE clause to filter the results:

SELECT *
FROM `project-name.dataset-name.table-name`
WHERE column_name = 'value'

This query will return all the columns and rows from the specified table, but only those rows that have column_name set to value.

You can also use the GROUP BY clause to aggregate the results:

SELECT column_name, COUNT(*)
FROM `project-name.dataset-name.table-name`
GROUP BY column_name

This query will return a count of the number of rows for each unique value of column_name.

You can also use the ORDER BY clause to sort the results:

SELECT *
FROM `project-name.dataset-name.table-name`
ORDER BY column_name

This query will return all the columns and rows from the specified table, sorted in ascending order by column_name.
