GCP Big Query Table

A BigQuery table is the fundamental unit of stored data within Google Cloud’s analytics warehouse, BigQuery. Each table resides inside a dataset and contains rows of structured data organised into columns, along with associated metadata such as schema definitions, partitioning information and access controls. Tables are referenced by the triple <PROJECT_ID>.<DATASET_ID>.<TABLE_ID> and serve as the target for queries, data loads and exports.
