Summary
This chapter covered the basics of why BigQuery is important for users who do not want to dive deep into managing a database and directly want to query it (mostly for larger datasets). We saw how easy it is to operate BigQuery using both the GUI and the CLI.
We also saw how BigQuery's pricing model works, and why that pricing model is an important reason for its popularity.
