To write a scheduled query in BigQuery

 you use the BigQuery UI in Google Cloud Console or the bq command-line tool. A scheduled query allows you to automate execution of SQL queries at defined intervals (e.g., hourly, daily). This is useful for tasks like transforming raw data, generating reports, or updating summary tables.

Steps in BigQuery Console:

Open BigQuery in Google Cloud Console.

Write your SQL query in the editor.

Click on the "Schedule" button above the query editor.

Provide:

A name for the scheduled query.

A schedule (e.g., every 24 hours or using cron syntax).

A destination table if your query writes output.

Options like overwrite or append data.

Click "Create" to activate the schedule.

You can also enable email notifications for failures.

Example Use Case:

sql

Copy

Edit

SELECT user_id, COUNT(*) AS login_count

FROM `project.dataset.logins`

WHERE DATE(event_time) = CURRENT_DATE()

GROUP BY user_id;

This query can be scheduled to run daily to update a login summary table.

Scheduled queries are managed via Cloud Scheduler and Data Transfer Service internally.
