Only US data location tables show in explorer? #4

Closed ggianfran closed 11 months ago

ggianfran commented 1 year ago

It seems that only tables which have datalocation US show up in the explorer. None of my EU tables appear

archiewood commented 1 year ago

Hmm, all my test data is in the US, so missed this.

It seems like bigquery default to showing data from the US if you don't specify

Should just be a case of updating the queries that get the information schemas to check other regions too.

Need to sort out #5 first.

Currently if you search in regions that dont have tables you get an error - so this needs to be rectified

archiewood commented 11 months ago

This is now unblocked

You can now specify the location of the dataset when you set up a connection.

Due to a BQ limitation, you cannot see all tables from all regions in one connection. To see tables from multiple regions you need to add multiple connections
