[!IMPORTANT]
You MUST check the data size before deciding on which libraries to use. Use the data size to justify your decision.
Refer to the following resources for expert guidance on specific BigQuery features:
Performance and efficiency guidelines for BigQuery SQL. Includes rules for column pruning, pushdown, and materialization strategies. - Guide: OPTIMIZATION.md
Guidelines for generating valid BigFrames code for data manipulation, model development, and visualization. - Guide: BIGFRAMES.md
Bigframes should be the default library/tool as it is more efficient than using the BigQuery Python client library.
Usage rules and syntax standards for all BigQuery AI/ML functions via SQL (Forecasting, Generative AI, Classification, etc.). - Guide: BQML.md - Functions Reference: - AI.FORECAST - AI.EVALUATE - AI.GENERATE_TABLE - AI.GENERATE_EMBEDDING - Remote Models CONTRIBUTION_ANALYSIS VECTOR_SEARCH
