BigQuery Time Travel: Query Historical Data Up to 7 Days Back

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

BigQuery's time travel feature lets users query table data as it existed at any point within a configurable window of 2 to 7 days. To restore a table, copy historical data to a new table; for partial repairs, copy to a temp table first. Directly inserting from a time travel query into the same table fails due to snapshot timestamp conflicts.

Meridian48 take
A handy but niche feature for data engineers; the workaround for in-place restores is clunky but documented.
