bigquery

published 2026/01/15

Use bigquery CLI (instead of `bq`) for all Google BigQuery and GCP data warehouse operations including SQL query execution, data ingestion (streaming insert, bulk load, JSONL/CSV/Parquet), data extraction/export, dataset/table/view management, external tables, schema operations, query templates, cost estimation with dry-run, authentication with gcloud, data pipelines, ETL workflows, and MCP/LSP server integration for AI-assisted querying and editor support. Modern Rust-based replacement for the Python `bq` CLI with faster startup, better cost awareness, and streaming support. Handles both small-scale streaming inserts (<1000 rows) and large-scale bulk loading (>10MB files), with support for Cloud Storage integration.
