Here is a gigantic footgun powerful enough to nuke yourself back into the Stone Age.

To learn how to use it you’ll have to try it. Learning by doing. Trial and error.

And no you may not use blanks while learning use of footgun. No training wheels. No precautions. Has to be live - full send unlimited risk.

Actually - here are some safety squints (billing alerts) - just to give you some illusion of control.

Good luck! Yours truly big cloud

Fits in well with everyone's natural first query (SELECT * FROM everything), so people can see the type of data it's returning in order to narrow it down.
Not specifically because of BigQuery, but I have taken to adding " LIMIT 10" to that for my default query because of accidentally locking up 10TB databases too many times.
Good thinking. :)
