I'm about to migrate queries from Legacy to Standard in BQ.
In Legacy I used to have x/y
returning null
if y=0
, however, I'm stuck in StandardSQL with the error:
Error: division by zero
I'd like to apply something like IFERROR(x/y,null)
Is it available in StandardSQL?
BigQuery hasn't documented it yet, but you can handle any type of exception in BigQuery by creating an exception handling clause, as described in the following example: BEGIN SELECT 1/0; EXCEPTION WHEN ERROR THEN SELECT @@error. message, @@error.
NOT EQUAL TO (!=) and EXISTS... EQUAL TO Giving Different Results.
To convert an ARRAY into a set of rows, also known as "flattening," use the UNNEST operator. UNNEST takes an ARRAY and returns a table with a single row for each element in the ARRAY . Because UNNEST destroys the order of the ARRAY elements, you may wish to restore order to the table.
Calling persistent user-defined functions (UDFs)After creating a persistent UDF, you can call it as you would any other function, prepended with the name of the dataset in which it is defined as a prefix. To call a UDF in a project other than the project that you are using to run the query, project_name is required.
In standard SQL you can use SAFE_DIVIDE(x, y)
It is an equivalent to the division operator (/). Returns NULL if an error occurs, such as division by zero.
