What is bq show?
The bq show command is used to retrieve metadata about BigQuery resources such as:
· Datasets
· Tables
· Views
· Materialized Views
· Jobs
· Models
· Routines
· Reservations and assignments
· Transfer configurations
Think of it like ls command for cloud metadata, but smarter.
Syntax
bq show [FLAGS] <resource>
Open terminal and execute the command ‘bq show’.
$bq show ERROR: (bq) You do not currently have an active account selected. Please run: $ gcloud auth login to obtain new credentials. If you have already logged in with a different account, run: $ gcloud config set account ACCOUNT to select an already authenticated account to use.
By any change if you receive above kind of error, execute following command to login to GCP cloud console.
gcloud auth login
What gcloud auth login Does?
· Starts a login process using your Google account.
· Opens a browser window asking you to sign in to your Google account (usually a Gmail or a Google Workspace account).
· After successful login, it generates and stores access credentials (tokens) on your local machine.
· These credentials are then used by the gcloud CLI to interact with Google Cloud services on your behalf (like deploying code, querying BigQuery, or managing resources).
Configure the GCP project that you want to work
Execute below command to configure the project that you want to work with.
gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID
Example
gcloud config set project my_project_id
This command sets the default Google Cloud project for your gcloud CLI session. After you run above command, every gcloud command you run after this will default to using the project you set (my_project_id), unless you specify a different project.
For example:
gcloud compute instances list
Above command will now list the VM instances for the project my_project_id.
