BigQuery

BigQuery is a fully-managed, serverless data warehouse that enables scalable analysis over petabytes of data. It is a serverless Software as a Service (SaaS) that supports querying using ANSI SQL. It also has built-in machine learning capabilities.

History

After a limited testing period in 2010, BigQuery was generally available in November 2011 at the Google Atmosphere conference.[1]

In April 2016, European users of the service suffered a 12-hour outage.[2] In May 2016, support was announced for Google Sheets.[3]

Design

BigQuery provides external access to the Dremel technology,[4][5] a scalable, interactive ad hoc query system for analysis of read-only nested data. BigQuery requires all requests to be authenticated, supporting a number of Google-proprietary mechanisms as well as OAuth.

Features
  • Managing data - create and delete tables based on a JSON-encoded schema, import data encoded as CSV or JSON from Google Storage.
  • Query - the queries are expressed in a standard SQL dialect[6] and the results are returned in JSON with a maximum reply length of approximately 128 MB, or an unlimited size when large query results are enabled.[7]
  • Integration - BigQuery can be used from Google Apps Script[8] (e.g. as a bound script in Google Docs), or any language that can work with its REST API or client libraries[9].
  • Access control - is possible to share datasets with arbitrary individuals, groups, or the world.
  • Machine learning
