Querying in BigQuery
BigQuery is a fully managed data warehouse that allows analysts to query data using an SQL-like query language. Any analyst with basic knowledge of SQL should be able to run queries in BigQuery with little trouble. Most functions work exactly as they do in T-SQL, Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, with a few exceptions. This section will cover different types of queries and running queries using BigQuery's public datasets.
