BigQuery Tutorial

Exploring an Ecommerce Dataset using SQL in Google BigQuery

Overview

BigQuery is Google's fully managed, NoOps, low cost analytics database. With BigQuery we can query terabytes and terabytes of data without having any infrastructure to manage or needing a database administrator. BigQuery uses SQL and can take advantage of the pay-as-you-go model. BigQuery allows we to focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights.

We have a newly available ecommerce dataset that has millions of Google Analytics records for the Google Merchandise Store loaded into a table in BigQuery. In this notebook, we use a copy of that dataset. Sample scenarios are provided, from which we look at the data and ways to remove duplicate information.
