Create table as select:

Create Table:
CREATE TABLE mydataset.mynewtable
AS
CREATE TABLE Dataset.TableName SELECT * FROM mydataset.myothertable
( ;
EmployeeNo INT64 NOT NULL,
FirstName STRING,
LastName STRING,
DOB DATE
) Drop Table:
PARTITION BY DOB
DROP TABLE Dataset.Tablename;
CLUSTER BY EmployeeNo;

Drop View:
Create View: DROP VIEW Dataset.Viewname;

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Dataset.ViewNa

me AS Create CTE:
SELECT
EmployeeNo,
FirstName, WITH subQ1 AS (SELECT SchoolID FROM R
LastName, oster),
DOB, subQ2 AS (SELECT OpponentID FROM Play
JoinedDate, erStats)
DepartmentNo SELECT * FROM subQ1
FROM Dataset.TableName; UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM subQ2;
 Group by Having:
Derived Table: SELECT LastName, SUM(PointsScored) AS
ps
SELECT r.LastName FROM FROM Roster
( SELECT * FROM Roster) AS r; GROUP BY LastName
HAVING ps > 0;

Order By:
Select Distinct:
SELECT LastName, PointsScored, Oppone
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM DatasetName.My ntID
Table; FROM PlayerStats
ORDER BY SchoolID, LastName desc;

Select using Timetravel:

Insert into Table:
SELECT * FROM Dataset.Table INSERT into dataset.Inventory_New
FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF '2019-01- (
01 10:00:00-07:00'; product,
quantity,
supply_constrained
)
SELECT * FROM dataset.Inventory;
Group By:

SELECT LastName, SUM(PointsScored) as

pts
Insert values into Table:
FROM PlayerStats
GROUP BY LastName; INSERT into dataset.Inventory (produc
t, quantity)
VALUES('top load washer', 10),
('front load washer', 20),
('dryer', 30),
('refrigerator', 10);
Update Table: Inner Join:
UPDATE dataset.Inventory SELECT R.* FROM Roster R
SET quantity = quantity - 10 INNER JOIN PlayerStats P
WHERE product like '%washer%'; ON R.LastName = P.LastName;

Update From: Left Join:

UPDATE dataset.Inventory i SELECT R.* FROM Roster R
SET quantity = n.quantity LEFT JOIN PlayerStats P
FROM ( ON R.LastName = P.LastName;
select quantity,product from dataset.
NewArrivals
)n
WHERE i.product = n.product;
Parse Date:

SELECT PARSE_DATE("%Y%m%d", "20190927

Merge: ") as parsed_date;

MERGE dataset.Inventory T
USING dataset.NewArrivals S
ON T.product = S.product
Date Add:
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET quantity = T.quantity +
SELECT DATE_ADD(DATE "2008-12-
S.quantity
25", INTERVAL 5 DAY) as five_days_lat
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
er;
INSERT (product, quantity) VALUES(p
roduct, quantity);

Date Sub:
Delete:
SELECT DATE_SUB(DATE "2008-12-
25", INTERVAL 5 DAY) as five_days_ago
DELETE FROM dataset.Inventory WHERE q
;
uantity = 0;
--to delete all rows
DELETE FROM dataset.DetailedInventory
WHERE true;
Date Diff: Rank Over:

SELECT DATE_DIFF(DATE '2010-07- SELECT firstname, department, startda

07', DATE '2008-12- te,
25', DAY) as days_diff; RANK() OVER ( PARTITION BY department
ORDER BY startdate ) AS rank
FROM Employees;

Extract from Date:

Row_Number:
SELECT EXTRACT(DAY FROM DATE '2013-
12-25') as the_day;
SELECT firstname, department, startda
te,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY depa
rtment ORDER BY startdate ) AS rank
Cast to Integer: FROM Employees;

SELECT CAST("123" AS INT64) AS Emp_Id

; Rows Between:
select firstname,
SUM(x) OVER (PARTITION BY y ORDER BY
Cast to String: z ROWS BETWEEN 1 PRECEDING AND 1
FOLLOWING) as ColumnAlias
SELECT CAST(123 AS STRING) AS Emp_Id;
from Employee;

Cast to Numeric:

SELECT CAST("123" AS NUMERIC) AS Emp_ This free cheat sheet is brought
