Best way to import Google Cloud SQL data into BigQuery

Question

I have a database in a Cloud SQL instance. I would like to copy its content into BigQuery in order to perform analysis. It is not a requirement for me to continuously update

Answer 1

After creating a connection to your CloudSQL server, you can use it to create a table from BigQuery in a single query.

CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER AS
SELECT * FROM EXTERNAL_QUERY("", "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER");
