SQL Compatibility

Since BigQuery uses its own SQL implementation, there can be and there are functionalities that will not work. To achieve most of the features that BigQuery provides, Not-So-BigQuery uses its own query parser to translate to a PostgreSQL-compatible query.

Supported BigQuery syntax

Link to the full query statement syntax: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/query-syntax

query_statement:
    query_expr

query_expr:
    [ WITH with_query_name AS ( query_expr ) [, ...] ]
    select | ( query_expr )
    [ ORDER BY expression [{ ASC | DESC }] [, ...] ]
    [ LIMIT count [ OFFSET skip_rows ] ]

select:
    SELECT [{ ALL | DISTINCT }]
        { [ expression. ]*
        | expression [ [ AS ] alias ] } [, ...]
    [ FROM from_item  [, ...] ]
    [ WHERE expression ]
    [ GROUP BY expression [, ...] ]
    [ HAVING expression ]

from_item: {
    table_name [ [ AS ] alias ]
    join |
    ( query_expr ) [ [ AS ] alias ] |
    with_query_name [ [ AS ] alias ]
}

join:
   from_item [ join_type ] JOIN from_item
   [ ON expression | USING ( join_column [, ...] ) ]

join_type:
   { INNER | CROSS | FULL [OUTER] | LEFT [OUTER] | RIGHT [OUTER] }

Where the expression is the following:

expression:
    literal_value |
    [ [ [ [ project_name . ] dataset_name . ] table_name . ] column_name ] |
    unary_operator expression |
    expression binary_operator expression |
    function_name ( [ expression [, ...] | * ] ) |
    ( expression [, ...] ) |
    CAST ( expression AS type_name ) |
    EXTRACT ( part FROM date_expression ) |
    expression IS [ NOT ] NULL | 
    expression IS [ NOT ] expression |
    expression [ NOT ] IN ( { expression | select } )

literal_value:
    numeric_literal |
    string_literal |
    NULL | TRUE | FALSE

unary_operator:
    NOT

binary_operator:
    AND | OR |
    < | <= | > | >= | = | <> | != 

Usage from source

To run the app

docker-compose up app

This will start Not-So-BigQuery in a container, and expose port 5443 on your host.

After this, you can configure your library to use http://localhost:5443/ as the API endpoint to reach BigQuery.

NodeJS

const bq = new BigQuery({ apiEndpoint: 'localhost:5443' });

Ruby

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new(endpoint: 'http://localhost:5443/')

To clear the storage

docker-compose rm -fs postgres && docker volume rm -f not-so-bigquery_db-data
