I want to double check what I need to look at when assessing query costs for BigQuery. I've found the quoted price per TB here which says $5 per TB, but for precisely 1 TB of what? I have been assuming up until now (before it seemed to matter) that the relevant number would be that which the BigQuery UI outputs above the results, so for this example query:
...in this case 2.34GB. So as a fraction of a terabyte and multiplied by $5 this would cost around 1.2cents assuming I'd used up my allowance for the month.
Can anyone confirm that I'm correct? Checking this before I process something I think could rack up some non-negligible costs for once. I should say I've never been stung with a sizeable BigQuery bill before it seems difficult to do.
Can anyone confirm that I'm correct?
Confirmed
Please note - BigQuery UI in fact uses DryRun which only estimates Total Bytes Processed . The final cost is based on Bytes Billed which reflects some nuances - minimum 10MB per each table involved in query as an example. You can see more details here - https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/pricing#on_demand_pricing

If you are pushing your audit logs to another dataset, you can do below on that dataset.
WITH data as
(
SELECT
protopayload_auditlog.authenticationInfo.principalEmail as principalEmail,
protopayload_auditlog.servicedata_v1_bigquery.jobCompletedEvent AS jobCompletedEvent
FROM
`administrative-audit-trail.gcp_audit_logs.cloudaudit_googleapis_com_data_access_20190227`
)
SELECT
principalEmail,
FORMAT('%9.2f',5.0 * (SUM(jobCompletedEvent.job.jobStatistics.totalBilledBytes)/POWER(2, 40))) AS Estimated_USD_Cost
FROM
data
WHERE
jobCompletedEvent.eventName = 'query_job_completed'
GROUP BY principalEmail
ORDER BY Estimated_USD_Cost DESC

I have been exploring the Crux dataset in big query for last 10 days to extract data for data studio report. Though I consider myself good at SQL, as I have mostly worked with oracle and SQL server, I am finding it very hard to write queries against this dataset. I started from this article by Rick Viscomi, explored the queries on his github repo but still unable to figure it out.
I am trying to use the materialized table chrome-ux-report.materialized.metrics_summary to get some of the metrics but I am not sure if the Min/Avg/Max lcp (in milliseconds) for a time period (month for example) could be extracted from this table. What other queries could I possibly try which requires less data processing. (Some of the queries that I tried expired my free TB of data processing on big query).
Any suggestion, advise solution, queries are more than welcome since the documentation about the structure of the dataset and queries against it is not very clear.
For details about the fields used on the report you can check on the main documentation for the chrome ux report specially on the last part with data format which shows the dimensions and how its interpreted as show below:
Dimension
origin "https://example.com"
effective_connection_type.name 4G
form_factor.name "phone"
first_paint.histogram.start 1000
first_paint.histogram.end 1200
first_paint.histogram.density 0.123
For example, the above shows a sample record from the Chrome User Experience Report, which indicates that 12.3% of page loads had a “first paint time” measurement in the range of 1000-1200 milliseconds when loading “http://example.com” on a “phone” device over a ”4G”-like connection. To obtain a cumulative value of users experiencing a first paint time below 1200 milliseconds, you can add up all records whose histogram’s “end” value is less than or equal to 1200.
For the metrics, in the initial link there is a section called methodology where you can get information about the metrics and dimensions of the report. I recommend going to the actual origin source table per country and per site and not the summary as the data you are looking for can be obtained there. In the Bigquery part of the documentation you will find samples of how to query those tables. I find this relatable:
SELECT
SUM(bin.density) AS density
FROM
`chrome-ux-report.chrome_ux_report.201710`,
UNNEST(first_contentful_paint.histogram.bin) AS bin
WHERE
bin.start < 1000 AND
origin = 'http://example.com'
In the example above we’re adding all of the density values in the FCP histogram for “http://example.com” where the FCP bin’s start value is less than 1000 ms. The result is 0.7537, which indicates that ~75.4% of page loads experience the FCP in under a second.
About query estimation cost, you can see estimating query cost guide on google official bigquery documentation. But using this tables due to its nature consumes a lot of processing so filter it as much as possible.
Is there a way to check price for queries I executed on BigQuery?
I know I can see the estimate before running a query (e.g. This query will process 5.2 GB when run.), with information like 1TB ~ $5 but I would actually like to see how much I pay for exact queries I have already run (price per query executed).
You can check billing bytes (vs. processed bytes) in BigQuery UI - both Classic and New going to respectively "Details" and "Job Information"
I am using a free trial of Google bigquery. This is the query that I am using.
select * from `test`.events where subject_id = 124 and id = 256064 and time >= '2166-01-15T14:00:00' and time <='2166-01-15T14:15:00' and id_1 in (3655,223762,223761,678,211,220045,8368,8441,225310,8555,8440)
This query is expected to return at most 300 records and not more than that.
However I see a message like this as below
But the table on which this query operates is really huge. Does this indicate the table size? However, I ran this query multiple times a day
Due to this, it resulted in error below
Quota exceeded: Your project exceeded quota for free query bytes scanned. For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/troubleshooting-errors
How long do I have to wait for this error to go-away? Is the daily limit 1TB? If yes, then I didn't not use close to 400 GB.
How to view my daily usage?
If I can edit quota, can you let me know which option should I be editing?
Can you help me with the above questions?
According to the official documentation
"BigQuery charges for queries by using one metric: the number of bytes processed (also referred to as bytes read)", regardless of how large the output size is. What this means is that if you do a count(*) on a 1TB table, you will supposedly be charged $5, even though the final output is very minimal.
Note that due to storage optimizations that BigQuery is doing internally, the bytes processed might not equal to the actual raw table size when you created it.
For the error you're seeing, browse the Google Console to "IAM & admin" then "Quotas", where you can then search for quotas specific to the BigQuery service.
Hope this helps!

I noticed that running a SELECT count(*) FROM myTable on my larger BQ tables yields long running times, upwards of 30/40 seconds despite the validator claiming the query processes 0 bytes. This doesn't seem quite right when 500 GB queries run faster. Additionally, total row counts are listed under details -> Table Info. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to get total row counts instantly?
When you run a count BigQuery still needs to allocate resources (such as: slot units, shards etc). You might be reaching some limits which cause a delay. For example, the slots default per project is 2,000 units.
BigQuery execution plan provides very detail information about the process which can help you better understand the source of the delay.
One way to overcome this is to use an approximate method described in this link

I'm experiencing something rather strange with some queries that I'm performing in BigQuery.
Firstly, I'm using an externally backed table (csv.gz) with about 35 columns. The total data in the location is around 5Gb, with an average file size of 350mb. The reason I'm doing this, is that I continually add data and remove to the table on a rolling basis - to give me a view of the last 7 days of our activity.
When querying, if perform something simple like:
select * from X limit 10
everything works fine. It continues to work fine if you increase the limit up to 1 million rows. As soon as you up the limit to ten million:
select * from X limit 10000000
I end up with a tableUnavailable error "Something went wrong with the table you queried. Contact the table owner for assistance. (error code: tableUnavailable)"
Now according to to any literature on this, this usually results from using some externally owned table (I'm not). I can't find any other enlightening information for this error code.
Basically, If I do anything slightly complex on the data, I get the same result. There's a column called event that has maybe a couple hundred of different values in the entire dataset. If I perform the following:
select eventType, count(1) from X group by eventType
I get the same error.
I'm getting the feeling that this might be related to limits on external tables? Can anybody clarify or shed any light on this?
Thanks in advance!
