Processing location in the BQ


I could see an option in BQ UI to specify processing location. What is that? I see it has as option Asia, US and EU. Can I choose where to process my data?


Solution

  • You must to specify this processing location option as your dataset location as documented here. If you try to run a query to a table stored in Europe and specifying processing location as US, this query will fail.
