To query [Google BigQuery](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery) with Flux:
1. Import the [`sql` package](/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/).
2. Use [`sql.from()`](/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/from/) and provide the following parameters:
- **driverName**: bigquery
- **dataSourceName**: _See [data source name](#bigquery-data-source-name)_
- **query**: SQL query to execute
```js
import "sql"
sql.from(
driverName: "bigquery",
dataSourceName: "bigquery://projectid/?apiKey=mySuP3r5ecR3tAP1K3y",
query: "SELECT * FROM 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](https://cloud.google.com/go/docs/reference/cloud.google.com/go/latest).
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...
```
## Data type conversion
`sql.from()` converts BigQuery data types to Flux data types.
| BigQuery data type | Flux data type |
| :----------------- | :------------------------------------------ |
| INTEGER | [int](/flux/v0/data-types/basic/int/) |
| FLOAT, NUMERIC | [float](/flux/v0/data-types/basic/float/) |
| TIMESTAMP | [time](/flux/v0/data-types/basic/time/) |
| BOOLEAN | [bool](/flux/v0/data-types/basic/bool/) |
{{% caption %}}
All other BigQuery data types (including **DATE**, **TIME** and **DATETIME**)
are converted to strings.
