Create a Table:

Create a file named schema.json with your table schema:

[

  {

    "name": "name",

    "type": "STRING",

    "mode": "REQUIRED"

  },

  {

    "name": "post_abbr",

    "type": "STRING",

    "mode": "NULLABLE"

  }

]

Then create the table with the bq tool:

bq mk --table my_dataset.mytable schema.json

-

Run a Query:

bq query --use_legacy_sql=false \

'SELECT name FROM `bigquery-public-data.usa_names.usa_1910_2013` \

WHERE state = "TX" LIMIT 10'
