How to get table name when using TABLE_DATE_RANGE

Question

I would like to get daily statistics using TABLE_DATE_RANGE like this:

Select count(*), tableName
FROM
(TABLE_DATE_RANGE(appengine_logs.appengine_googleapis_com_request_log_,
DATE_ADD(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), -7, 'DAY'), CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()))
group by tableName

Is there any way to get a table name when using TABLE_DATE_RANGE?

Answer 1

You need to query your dataset with a metadata query.

SELECT * FROM publicdata:samples.__TABLES__ 
WHERE MSEC_TO_TIMESTAMP(creation_time)  < DATE_ADD(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), -7, 'DAY')

this returns

You can add in the WHERE clauses to restrict to tables similar to

• WHERE table_id contains "wiki"
• or regexp like WHERE REGEXP_MATCH(table_id, r"^foo[\d]{3,5}")
