Storage Usage based

Leverage partitions If joins don’t perform, use Nested Repeated Records

Table Name: orders_nested

Problem: ApplySimple("_PARTITIONTIME", [AnyColumnName]) SELECT orders_nested.ORDER_DATE, SUM(order_items_unnest.quantity * order_items_unnest.unit_price) FROM orders_nested LEFT JOIN UNNEST(orders_nested.order_items) AS order_items_unnest GROUP BY orders_nested.ORDER_DATE Works with both a Schema and Data Import Solution: 1. Unnest in BQ Views (or 1 big view for Data Import) 2. Model with MicroStrategy’s Aggregate Aware (Schema only, doesn’t work with Data Import)

Temporary Tables & Multi Pass SQL BQ query initialization Self Service BI is unpredictable

MicroStrategy cannot use BigQuery Problem 1. Use BQ Cache Temporary Tables 1. Every BQ query has a 1-2 seconds 2. BQ Cost Control – User quotas overhead MicroStrategy by default uses derived table 2. This apply to all passes. 100 passes will syntax (cascading subqueries) which might not take minimum 200 seconds of initialization always be optimal. time + required run time

Solution: (valid for 11.0+) Solution 1. Permanent table creation 2. Use a BQ Dataset with default table expiration 3. Disable ”Temporary” tables drop NESTING

Known Issues with custom BQ Types (String, Numeric) prevent us from doing CREATE TABLE Solution: (valid for 11.0+) 1. Use Implicit Temp Tables creation

Customer issues Is MicroStrategy is Slow on BigQuery ?

Google Field says: “MicroStrategy ODBC driver does not 1.Temporary tables creation and use the standard BigQuery APIs which limits Data Transfer multi pass issues to 2.5 MB/s. It does not happen in QlikSense, Tableau and Datastudio”

Google Technology says: “Google has a "Standard API" for 2.Datatypes issues applications to connect to BQ. In collaboration between Google and Magnitude (Simba) teams the performance of the ODBC/JDBC drivers were significantly enhanced over the initial version of the Magnitude driver. The latest driver BQ whitepaper resolves these version (shipped by MicroStrategy) is performing on par or issues. Customer cases are being beyond the expectations for this API. reopened by Technical Support for • Jason Prodonovich • Technical Solutions Engineer - Cloud Partner Engineering • jsonproto@ google.com resolution (if using 11.0 or above) Even if it was true, Push Down SQL would make this irrelevant

In-Memory is not suited for BigQuery 1.You pay for all the data

2.Even the one you do not use

3.Limits the Analytics Scope to what can fit in-memory

4.Requires huge load times
