The BigQuery adapter was contributed by community member Josh Temple.

Installation

You must install the harlequin-bigquery package into the same environment as harlequin. The best and easiest way to do this is to use uv to install Harlequin with the bigquery extra:

$ uv tool install 'harlequin[bigquery]'

Using Harlequin with BigQuery

Run Harlequin with the -a bigquery option; you must also specify values for the --project and --location options:

$ harlequin -a bigquery --project my-gcp-project --location us-west1

Connection Options

This adapter supports the following options:

  • project: The ID of the Google Cloud project to run Harlequin against. Defaults to whatever it can infer from the user’s environment, i.e. gcloud config list project.

  • location: The location used to run the catalog queries, which must be region-qualified. Defaults to US.
