• Querying massive datasets can be time consuming and expensive without the right hardware and infrastructure. Google BigQuery solves this problem by enabling super-fast, SQL-like queries against append-only tables, using the processing power of Google's infrastructure. Simply move your data into BigQuery and let us handle the hard work.

• Before you can query your data, you first need to load it into BigQuery. You can bulk load the data by using a job, or stream records individually.

• Queries are written in BigQuery's SQL dialect. BigQuery supports both synchronous and asynchronous query methods. Both methods are handled by a job, but the "synchronous" method exposes a timeout value that waits until the job has finished before returning.
