BigQuery Data Viewer (optional: when this is turned off we wonβt be able to show the detailed table information including table size, row count, etc)
Go to the Select Star Settings. Click Data in the sidebar, then + Add to create a new Data Source.
Choose BigQuery in the Source Type dropdown and provide the following information:
Display Name: This value is BigQuery by default, but you can override it if desired.
Service Account: The JSON file created in step 2 above. The JSON file will automatically populate all other fields in the modal.
4. Choose databases and schemas
After you fill in the information, you'll be asked to select the databases you'd like to load into Select Star.
Select Star will not read queries or metadata or generate lineage for databases, schemas, or tables that are not loaded. Please load all data for which you expect to see lineage.
For each database you selected, you'll be able to select the schemas.
Your metadata should start loading automatically. Please allow 24-48 hours to completely generate popularity and lineage.
When the sync is complete, you'll be able to explore your BigQuery instance in Select Star. See the link below for more information on BigQuery in Select Star.
