pg2bigquery

A CLI tool to convert query from PostgreSQL to BigQuery

deepcode Release Language grade: JavaScript oclif Version Downloads/week License

Installation

For npm:

npm i -g pg2bigquery

or yarn:

yarn global add pg2bigquery

Usage

Requirements

$ pg2bigquery -d dataset -t tables.json input output

You need these things to use:

  • input: input folder that contains PostgresSQL query files
  • output: output folder that contains BigQuery query files
  • dataset: destination dataset which is used to run BigQuery query
  • tables: list of tables of pg database in json file

If you want to know about the files format, go to samples

Tables JSON file

For now, you need to put the list of tables in a json file like this:

["forms", "roles", "steps", "wards", "people", "staffs", "products"]

You can easily get the list of tables in your sql editor by this query:

select table_name from information_schema.tables;

Run pg2bigquery with --help option to get more details:

$ pg2bigquery --help

A success run will be:

$ pg2bigquery -d dataset -t tables.json input output
check output folder... done
get input files... 10 files
get tables... 55 tables
convert 10 files... done

Limitations

No Silver Bullet.

The converted files might not be perfect.

When you use my tool, you will see these cases:

No matching signature for operator (two different types)

No matching signature for operator = for argument types: INT64, STRING. Supported signature: ANY = ANY at [382:44]

BigQuery don't implicit cast one type to another when using with operators (+, -, <, >,...) so you have to do it for yourself.
