Purpose

Specifies the maximum number of bytes a query can read. As per the on-demand pricing model of Google BigQuery, charges are billed based on the number of bytes a query reads. To control the cost a query may incur, you can set a limit. Once the limit is exceeded, the query fails without incurring any cost.

Valid Values

0 | x

where:

x
is a positive integer that defines the maximum number of bytes a query can read.

Behavior

If set to x, the driver uses the value as the limit beyond which queries fail without incurring any cost.
