Working with JSON, Arrays, and Structs in BigQuery (must GCP lab for data engineering course)
Overview
BigQuery is Google's fully managed, NoOps, low cost analytics database. With BigQuery you can query terabytes and terabytes of data without having any infrastructure to manage or needing a database administrator. BigQuery uses SQL and can take advantage of the pay-as-you-go model. BigQuery allows you to focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights.
In this lab, you work in-depth with semi-structured data (ingesting JSON, Array data types) inside of BigQuery. Denormalizing your schema into a single table with nested and repeated fields can yield performance improvements, but the SQL syntax for working with array data can be tricky. You will practice loading, querying, troubleshooting, and unnesting various semi-structured datasets.
What you'll do
In this lab, you learn how to:
Load and query semi-structured data including unnesting.
Troubleshoot queries on semi-structured data.
