Google BigQuery Version Support

The driver enables read/write SQL-92 access to the BigQuery tables in your Google account or Google Apps domain. The complete aggregate and join syntax in BigQuery is supported. Additionally, statements in the BigQuery syntax can be passed through. The driver uses version 2.0 of the BigQuery Web services API: You must enable this API by creating a project in the Google Developers Console. See Connecting to Google for a guide to creating a project and authenticating to this API.
