Connect to Google BigQuery

Let's configure the Google BigQuery V2 connection properties to connect to Google BigQuery.

Before you begin

Before you configure a connection, ensure that you download the Google service account key file in JSON format. The service account key file is created when you create a Google service account.
You require the client email, private key, and project ID from the service account key JSON file to create a Google BigQuery connection.
The following video shows you how to get the information you need from your Google BigQuery account:

Connection details

The following table describes the basic connection properties:
Property
Description
Connection Name
Name of the connection.
Each connection name must be unique within the organization. Connection names can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters: _ . + -,
Maximum length is 255 characters.
Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
Note: If you’re using this connection to apply data access policies through pushdown or proxy services, you cannot use the Secret Vault configuration option.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see Secrets manager configuration.
Runtime Environment
