I ran a query abc and got the result table m in Datalab.
Is there any way I can create a new table in Bigquery and write the content of table m to it in Datalab?
%%bq query --name abc
select *
from `test`
m=abc.execute().result()
Yes you can, Datalab supports a number of BigQuery magic commands, among them is create
, which allows for the creation of datasets and tables.
See the documentation here: http://googledatalab.github.io/pydatalab/datalab.magics.html
And specifically this section, which details all the available BigQuery commands:
positional arguments:
{sample,create,delete,dryrun,udf,execute,pipeline,table,schema,datasets,tables,extract,load}
commands
sample Display a sample of the results of a BigQuery SQL
query. The cell can optionally contain arguments for
expanding variables in the query, if -q/--query was
used, or it can contain SQL for a query.
create Create a dataset or table.
delete Delete a dataset or table.
dryrun Execute a dry run of a BigQuery query and display
approximate usage statistics
udf Create a named Javascript BigQuery UDF
execute Execute a BigQuery SQL query and optionally send the
results to a named table. The cell can optionally
contain arguments for expanding variables in the
query.
pipeline Define a deployable pipeline based on a BigQuery
query. The cell can optionally contain arguments for
expanding variables in the query.
table View a BigQuery table.
schema View a BigQuery table or view schema.
datasets List the datasets in a BigQuery project.
tables List the tables in a BigQuery project or dataset.
extract Extract BigQuery query results or table to GCS.
load Load data from GCS into a BigQuery table.
