Using the Bq Command-Line Tool | Bigquery | Google Cloud 8/23/2020 Using the bq command-line tool | BigQuery | Google Cloud Using the bq command-line tool The bq command-line tool is a Python-based command-line tool for BigQuery. This page contains general information on using the bq command-line tool. For a complete reference of all bq commands and ags, see bq command-line tool reference (/bigquery/docs/reference/bq-cli-reference). Before you begin Before you can use the bq command-line tool, you must use the Google Cloud Console to create or select a project and install the Cloud SDK. 1. Sign in (https://accounts.google.com/Login) to your Google Account. If you don't already have one, sign up for a new account (https://accounts.google.com/SignUp). 2. In the Cloud Console, on the project selector page, select or create a Cloud project. Note: If you don't plan to keep the resources that you create in this procedure, create a project instead of selecting an existing project. After you nish these steps, you can delete the project, removing all resources associated with the project. Go to the project selector page (https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector2/home/dashboar 3. Install and initialize the Cloud SDK (/sdk/docs). 4. BigQuery is automatically enabled in new projects. To activate BigQuery in a preexisting project, go to Enable the BigQuery API. Enable the API (https://console.cloud.google.com/ows/enableapi?apiid=bigquery) 5. BigQuery provides a sandbox (/bigquery/docs/sandbox) if you do not want to provide a credit card or enable billing for your project. The steps in this topic work for a project whether or not your project has billing enabled. If you optionally want to enable billing, see Learn how to enable billing (/billing/docs/how-to/modify-project). https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/bq-command-line-tool 1/10 8/23/2020 Using the bq command-line tool | BigQuery | Google Cloud Instead of downloading and installing the Cloud SDK, you can use a pre-installed version of the Cloud SDK in Google Cloud Shell (/shell/docs). General usage Flag positioning bq supports two kinds of ags — global ags and command ags. They should be used in the order shown here: global_flag argument bq_command --command-specific_flag argument Global ags (or common ags) can be used in all commands. Command-specic ags apply to a specic command. Separate multiple global or command-specic ags using a space. For example: bal_flag argument \ bal_flag argument \ mmand \ mand-specific_flag argument \ mand-specific_flag argument You can specify command arguments in one of the following ways: --flag=argument --flag='argument' --flag="argument" --flag argument --flag 'argument' --flag "argument" https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/bq-command-line-tool 2/10 8/23/2020 Using the bq command-line tool | BigQuery | Google Cloud Each of these methods is used throughout the BigQuery documentation. Some commands require the use of single or double quotes around arguments. This is often true when the argument contains spaces, commas, or other special characters. For example: ery --nouse_legacy_sql \ CT UNT(*) igquery-public-data`.samples.shakespeare' Flags with boolean values can be specied without an argument. If you specify true or false you must specify =argument. For example, this command species false for the boolean ag --use_legacy_sql by placing no at the front of the ag: ery --nouse_legacy_sql \ CT UNT(*) igquery-public-data`.samples.shakespeare' Alternatively, to specify false as the ag's argument, you would enter: ery --use_legacy_sql=false \ CT UNT(*) igquery-public-data`.samples.shakespeare' For a list of available global and command-specic ags, see bq command-line tool reference (/bigquery/docs/reference/bq-cli-reference). Geing help https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/bq-command-line-tool 3/10 8/23/2020 Using the bq command-line tool | BigQuery | Google Cloud You can enter the following commands to get help for the bq command-line tool: For the installed version of bq, enter bq version. For a full list of commands, enter bq help. For a list of global ags, enter bq --help. For help on a specic command, enter bq help command. For help on a specic command plus a list of global ags, enter bq command --help. Debugging You can enter the following commands to debug bq: To see requests sent and received Add the --apilog=path_to_file ag to save a log of operations to a local le. bq works by making standard REST-based API calls, which can be useful to see. It is also useful to attach this log when reporting issues. Using - or stdout instead of a le path will print the log to the console. Setting --apilog to stderr outputs to the standard error le. To help troubleshoot errors Enter the --format=prettyjson ag when getting a job's status (/bigquery/docs/managing-jobs#view-job) or when viewing detailed information about resources such as tables and datasets. Using this ag outputs the response in JSON format, including the reason property. You can use the reason property to look up troubleshooting steps (/bigquery/troubleshooting-errors). Seing default values for command-line ags You can set default values for command-line ags by including them in the bq command-line tool's conguration le — .bigqueryrc. Before you congure your default options, you must rst create a .bigqueryrc le. You can use your preferred text editor to create the le. After you create the .bigqueryrc le, you can specify the path to the le using the --bigqueryrc global ag. https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/bq-command-line-tool 4/10 8/23/2020 Using the bq command-line tool | BigQuery | Google Cloud If the --bigqueryrc ag is not specied, the BIGQUERYRC environment variable is used. If that is not specied, the path ~/.bigqueryrc is used. The default path is $HOME/.bigqueryrc. Creating a .bigqueryrc le using the bq init command is not recommended. Adding ags to .bigqueryrc To add default values for command-line ags to .bigqueryrc: Place global ags (/bigquery/docs/reference/bq-cli-reference#global_ags) at the top of the le without a header For command-specic ags (/bigquery/docs/reference/bq-cli-reference#command-specic_ags) , enter the command name (in brackets) and add the command-specic ags (one per line) below it in the following format: nd mand-specific_flag=argument mand-specific_flag=argument When you enter command-line ags in .bigqueryrc, you must specify the ag's argument in the following format =argument. .bigqueryrc is read every time you run bq so changes should be updated immediately. When you run bq in interactive mode (#interactive) (bq shell), you must restart the shell for the changes to take effect. Example This example sets default values for the following global ags: --apilog is set to stdout to print debugging output to the console. --format is set to prettyjson to display command output in a human-readable JSON format. --location is set to the US multi-region location. https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/bq-command-line-tool 5/10 8/23/2020 Using the bq command-line tool | BigQuery | Google Cloud This example sets default values for the following query command-specic ags: --use_legacy_sql is set to false to make standard SQL the default query syntax. Note: You cannot use --nouse_legacy_sql in .bigqueryrc. --max_rows is set to 100 to control the number of rows in the query output. --maximum_bytes_billed is set to 10,000,000 bytes (10 MB) to fail queries that read more than 10 MB of data. This example sets a default value for the following load command-specic ag: --destination_kms_key (/bigquery/docs/customer-managed-encryption) is set to projects/myproject/locations/mylocation/keyRings/myRing/cryptoKeys/myKey. ntial_file = path_to_credential_file log=stdout mat=prettyjson ation=US y] _legacy_sql=false _rows=100 imum_bytes_billed=10000000 ] tination_kms_key=projects/myproject/locations/mylocation/keyRings/myRing/cryptoKeys/ To conrm your settings, enter the following command: ~/.bigqueryrc Running bq in an interactive shell You can run bq in an interactive shell where you don't need to prex the commands with bq. To start interactive mode, enter bq shell. After launching the shell, the prompt changes to the ID of https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/bq-command-line-tool 6/10 8/23/2020 Using the bq command-line tool | BigQuery | Google Cloud your default project. To exit interactive mode, enter exit. Examples You can nd command-line examples throughout the How-to guides (/bigquery/docs/how-to) section of the BigQuery documentation. Below are links to common command-line tasks such as creating, getting, listing, deleting, and modifying BigQuery resources.

  • Overview Objectives Exploring the Bigquery Console
    CS6502 - APPLIED BIG DATA AND VISUALIZATION (Spring 2020) Lab 3 Overview SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standard language for data operations that allows you to ask questions and get insights from structured datasets. It's commonly used in database management and allows you to perform tasks like transaction record writing into relational databases and petabyte-scale data analysis. This lab serves as an introduction to SQL and is intended to prepare you for the many labs in this course. This lab is divided into two parts: in the first half, you will learn fundamental SQL querying keywords, which you will run in the BigQuery console on a public dataset that contains information on London bikeshares. In the second half, you will learn how to export subsets of the London bikeshare dataset into CSV files, which you will then upload to Cloud SQL. From there you will learn how to use Cloud SQL to create and manage databases and tables. Towards the end, you will get hands-on practice with additional SQL keywords that manipulate and edit data. Objectives In this lab, you will learn how to: ● Distinguish databases from tables and projects. ● Use the SELECT, FROM, and WHERE keywords to construct simple queries. ● Identify the different components and hierarchies within the BigQuery console. ● Load databases and tables into BigQuery. ● Execute simple queries on tables. ● Learn about the COUNT, GROUP BY, AS, and ORDER BY keywords. ● Execute and chain the above commands to pull meaningful data from datasets. ● Export a subset of data into a CSV file and store that file into a new Cloud Storage bucket.

  • Intro to Google Cloud
    An Introduction to Cloud Shell (in less than 5 minutes) brought to you by The ISB Cancer Genomics Cloud Cloud Shell is a Debian Linux VM with a 5GB persistent disk that you can access directly from the Console. Just click on the Activate Google Cloud Shell button at the top of the Google Cloud Platform Console. The VM is provisioned on a per-user, per-session basis, will persist while your Cloud Shell session is active, and will terminate after an hour of inactivity. Certain tools come pre-installed and you can install additional tools or copy files to your home directory as needed. This data will persist between sessions and is private to you and available across projects. The first time you activate the Cloud Shell, you will see this introductory pop-up. Click Start Cloud Shell. The Cloud Shell session opens inside a new frame at the bottom of the console. It can take a few seconds for the session to be initialized. Once you see the prompt, your Cloud Shell session is ready to use. You can minimize, open in a new window, or close your Cloud Shell session using the controls in the upper right corner. You can also open additional shell sessions as additional tabs using the + symbol, or close existing sessions using the x. You can access settings and other information from the gear icon. Popping the shell out into its own window lets you resize it and gives you more space to work. Let’s install a few additional Python packages so that we can run the ISB-CGC python examples.
