GoogleSQL for Bigtable reference
GoogleSQL for Bigtable is an ANSI compliant Structured Query Language (SQL) that lets you run query statements (also known as Data Query Language (DQL) statements) on Bigtable tables. A query statement scans a table and returns computed result rows.
GoogleSQL for Bigtable doesn't include support for some common SQL constructs, including the following:
Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements beyond SELECT, such as INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE
Data Definition Language (DDL) expressions such as CREATE, ALTER, or DROP
Data Access Control statements
Query syntax for subqueries, JOIN, UNION, and CTEs
For information on where to run SQL queries on your Bigtable data, as well examples of common Bigtable query patterns, see GoogleSQL for Bigtable overview.
