Write to Google BigQuery	BigQuery	Use [`sql.to()`](/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/to/) with the `bigquery` driver to write data to Google BigQuery.	flux_v0 name parent identifier BigQuery write-to-sql write-bigquery	101	/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/to/	```js import "sql" data |> sql.to( driverName: "bigquery", dataSourceName: "bigquery://projectid/?apiKey=mySuP3r5ecR3tAP1K3y", table: "exampleTable", ) ```

To write data to Google BigQuery with Flux:

1. Import the sql package.

2. Pipe-forward data into sql.to() and provide the following parameters:

   • driverName: bigquery
   • dataSourceName: See data source name
   • table: Table to write to
   • batchSize: Number of parameters or columns that can be queued within each call to Exec (default is 10000)

import "sql"

data
    |> sql.to(
        driverName: "bigquery",
        dataSourceName: "bigquery://projectid/?apiKey=mySuP3r5ecR3tAP1K3y",
        table: "exampleTable",
    )

BigQuery data source name

The bigquery driver uses the following DSN syntaxes (also known as a connection string):

bigquery://projectid/?param1=value&param2=value
bigquery://projectid/location?param1=value&param2=value

Common BigQuery URL parameters

• dataset - BigQuery dataset ID. When set, you can use unqualified table names in queries.

BigQuery authentication parameters

The Flux BigQuery implementation uses the Google Cloud Go SDK. Provide your authentication credentials using one of the following methods:

• Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to identify the location of your credential JSON file.

• Provide your base-64 encoded service account, refresh token, or JSON credentials using the credentials URL parameter in your BigQuery DSN.

  Example credentials URL parameter

  bigquery://projectid/?credentials=eyJ0eXBlIjoiYXV0...
  

Flux to BigQuery data type conversion

sql.to() converts Flux data types to BigQuery data types.

Flux data type	BigQuery data type
int	INT64
float	FLOAT64
string	STRING
bool	BOOL
time	TIMESTAMP
