Google BigQuery

Querying massive datasets can be time consuming and expensive without the right hardware and infrastructure. Google BigQuery solves this problem by enabling super-fast, SQL-like queries against append-only tables, using the processing power of Google’s infrastructure. Simply move your data into BigQuery and let us handle the hard work. You can control access to both the project and your data based on your business needs, such as giving others the ability to view or query your data.

You can access BigQuery by using a browser tool or a command-line tool, or by making calls to the BigQuery REST API using a variety of client libraries such as Java, PHP or Python. There are also a variety of third-party tools that you can use to interact with BigQuery, such as visualizing the data or loading the data.

Get started now with creating an app, running a web query or using the command-line tool, or read on for more information about BigQuery fundamentals and how you can work with the product.

Streaming Data Into BigQuery

Instead of using a job to load data into BigQuery, you can choose to stream your data into BigQuery one record at a time by using the tabledata().insertAll() method. This approach enables querying data without the delay of running a load job. There are several important trade-offs to consider before choosing an approach.
