–skip_leading_rows=1 \
mydataset_1.customer_transactions \
./customer_transactions.csv \
id:string,zip:string,ttime:timestamp,amount:numeric,fdbk:float,sku:string
Get the table details
Verify that the table loaded by showing the table properties.
bq show mydataset_1.customer_transactions
Query the data
bq query –nouse_legacy_sql ‘
SELECT SUM(c.amount) AS amount_total, z.state_code AS state_code
FROM `mydataset_1.customer_transactions` c
JOIN `bigquery-public-data.utility_us.zipcode_area` z
ON c.zip = z.zipcode
GROUP BY state_code’
Clean up
bq rm -r mydataset_1
