Today, after many successful loads into a BigQuery table, received this error message:
tableUnavailable
Something went wrong with the table you queried. Contact the table owner for assistance
I do not see this error in the error table: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/troubleshooting-errors#errortable
What conditions could cause this error? Other load jobs, using the same code and in same dataset, do not display this error
What causes a "tableUnavailable" message?
There are two cases that I can think of:
First, this error can be returned for queries over a (small) set of tables that BigQuery exposes access to, but are not directly managed by the BigQuery team itself. You can consider these equivalent to "internalError" from a troubleshooting perspective.
These data sources are typically accessible to GCP customers that have specific relationships with Google product teams exposing their data in BigQuery.
We expose these under a different error code since you will resolve the issue more quickly by contacting the group that granted you access to their data. Going through BigQuery customer support to get this resolved will work too, it'll just take a little longer.
Second, you encountered this through a load job so this is clearly not the case above! We are testing a new load implementation that is faster than the current implementation, and I suspect some errors are mapped slightly differently now.
In this case, I suspect you encountered a "backendError" and should try the operation again. If you can give us a project_id:job_id of a job that hit this problem, we can verify this and make sure the error mapping is more consistent.
Thank you!

I just started a new project on Google Cloud, set up some bigquery datasets and tables. I now want to set up some scheduled queries. I have already enabled BigQuery Data Transfer API. My query is valid (it's just SELECT * FROM table). I can't find anything about this error online.
See screenshot
UPDATE: I've experimented a bit and it seems to be an organization wide issue. All projects, new and old within my organization get this same error when trying to schedule a query. I tried for a project in a different organization and did not have the issue. What could be causing this error for ALL projects in an organization?
UPDATE 2:
By querying a table that is not empty the error change to "Error creating scheduled query: Yn" instead of "Error creating scheduled query: er" (when the scheduled query would have queried an empty table).
I faced the same issue than you, and basically I just needed to run the query first before creating the the scheduled query... And that did the trick.
from the BQ FAQs :
"Scheduled queries use features of BigQuery Data Transfer Service. Verify that you have completed all actions required in Enabling BigQuery Data Transfer Service."
basically, what this means is that you need to enable the data transfer api in your project, AND give the user who creates the scheduled query a BQ admin role in order to have the right permissions to access that transfer service.
If done right, you should get a popup when creating the scheduled query to confirm that the data transfer service has access to your uses account (if you block popups you might not see this message and get stuck)
If this error only occurs in your organisation, I believe it might be caused by a organisation policy on Google Cloud. I would encourage you to double check if there is any org policy causing this error. If that's not the case, open a support ticket with GCP.
What worked for me was signing in through Incognito Mode with just my account and attempting to save the scheduled query. I have multiple Google Accounts signed it at one time and for whatever reason, BigQuery throws this generic error after authorization is successful and BigQuery is granted the access it requested.
You need to make sure that you are creating the query under the project targeted not in any other projects because it won't appear
Also you need to enable the API as one of the above answers
This eventually worked for me when i ran this in an cognito window
I'm getting an "Unknown error response from the server" error on a lot of my datasets, when trying to do a preview. I have this already since a couple of days with no workaround to fix it. Do you have any idea, what's happening or how to solve this? Is there a bug tracker for BigQuery or some other way to reach out to the Google Platform staff?
This issue happens due to the request (created during "preview" command) being too large for some tables with a lot of fields. We are implementing a partial solution where we reduce the size of the request. The changes are currently being pushed in all regions (issuetracker).
All my datasheets, tables, and ALL items inside BQ are un EU. When I try to do a View->to->Table 15 min scheduled query I get an error regarding my location, which is incorrect, because all, source and destiny are both on EU...
Anyone knows why?
There is a transient known issue matching your situation, GCP support team needs more time for troubleshooting. There may be a potential issue in the UI. I would ask you to try the following steps:
Firstly, try to make the same operation in Chrome's incognito mode.
Another possible workaround is trying to follow this official guide using a different approach than the UI (CLI for instance).
I hope it helps.
Started BI Publisher about a week ago.
When working on a new data model, about one or two queries in, I get this error when I try to save:
Failed to load servlet/res?s=%252F~developer1%252Ftest%252FJustin%2520Tests%252FOSRP%2520Information.xdm&desc=&_sTkn=9ba70c01152efbcb413.
I can no longer save my data model.
I tried deleting my queries, logging in and out, turning machine off and on, but no luck.
I'm currently resolved to saving all of my queries locally in notepad.
I can create a whole new data model and it will save fine, but then after two or three queries the same thing happens.
What's going on and why would anyone design such a confusing error message?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
After restarting your server once you won't get this issue.It happens some time due to the connection problem.so restart should work for this.It resolved my problem.
None of the proposed solutions worked for me. I found out, on my own, that any unnecessary brackets around CASE in a select statement will cause this error. Remove the unnecessary brackets and the error goes away.
Oracle meta link Doc ID 2173333.1. In BI Publisher releases 11.1.1.8.x and up, there is an option to Manage Cache in the Administration section of BIP. This option was also added to 11.1.1.7 in patch 140715 (11.1.1.7.140715).
Clearing the object cache will resolve the saving errors:
Click on the Administration link
Manage BI Publisher
Manage Cache
Click on the 'Clear Object Cache'
I am trying to load csv file to BigQuery from Google Cloud Storage by WebUI.
But sometimes occurs error.
Error message is "Cannot process data in separate locations".
What does it mean?
And how can I fix it?
This was an unintended consequence of an update to the BigQuery service. We'll provide additional followup on this bug:
