Question:
Is it possible to do something like the following in BigQuery?SELECT country, id FROM
-- possible to in-line this, with an array or struct even?
[['us', 1], ['ca',2]] AS country (country, id)
Or perhaps there’s a better way to do it? Currently the way I’m doing it is the following, but I want to see if I can inline it into the FROM
instead:WITH country AS (
SELECT 'us' AS country, 1 as id UNION ALL
SELECT 'ca', 2
)
Answer:
Another possible option would be to make it ARRAY<STRUCT<>> type. Consider below:SELECT * FROM UNNEST([
STRUCT('us' AS country, 1 AS id),
STRUCT('ca',2)
]);
If you have better answer, please add a comment about this, thank you!
