Google BigQuery to PostgreSQL Integration

How Datrise loads Google BigQuery into PostgreSQL

Datrise syncs Google BigQuery's datasets, tables, views, query jobs, table schemas, and partitions into PostgreSQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in jsonb columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as timestamptz.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional declarative range partitioning by load date for high-volume tables. PostgreSQL folds unquoted identifiers to lowercase, so Datrise normalizes mixed-case source fields to snake_case.

Ideal for operational analytics and application backends that need fresh, queryable copies of your data.

Endpoints

Google BigQuery: Serverless analytics warehouse on Google Cloud.

PostgreSQL: Open-source relational database with strong SQL and extensions.

How Google BigQuery entities map to PostgreSQL

Google BigQuery entity	PostgreSQL object	Notes
datasets	`bigquery_datasets`	id PK · custom fields → jsonb columns
tables	`bigquery_tables`	id PK · linked to bigquery_datasets
views	`bigquery_views`	id PK · linked to bigquery_datasets
query jobs	`bigquery_query_jobs`	id PK · linked to bigquery_datasets

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Google BigQuery's custom fields in PostgreSQL?

Flexible values are stored as jsonb columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native PostgreSQL types.

How does the Google BigQuery to PostgreSQL sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.
