I have a BigQuery query which unions two tables (daily Google Analytics exports). What I want is to save the query as a view or table but have that final view/table update automatically everyday as the new Google Analytics data is loaded into BigQuery.
Thanks for your help
Update
Scheduling recurring queries is available now in BigQuery since September 2018
BigQuery by itself doesn’t provide any scheduling mechanism.
You can use 3rd party solution or develop your own using client of your choice
https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/libraries
For example,
You can use App Engine Cron Service to automate BigQuery query execution https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/config/cron https://cloud.google.com/appengine/features/#cron https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/bigquery-api-quickstart
Or, you can use Google Apps Script to script BigQuery query with a Time based trigger to execute that script
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/advanced/bigquery
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/triggers/installable#time-driven_triggers
Also, check recently introduced Google Cloud Functions (Beta)
https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/
New Feature: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/scheduling-queries
BigQuery has scheduled queries feature in Beta now.
You would need to enable the BigQuery Data Transfer Service and the "scheduled queries" is in the BigQuery Transfer Service menu.
