Although some companies may have had access to these features in preview mode, many are likely to hold off on their use until the official release is finalized. Let's delve into the new offerings:

Section 1.1: Data Insights

Data Insights enables users to uncover and comprehend their data more easily. This feature provides an automated and user-friendly method for identifying patterns, assessing data quality, and performing statistical analyses.

By utilizing smart queries derived from table metadata, Data Insights proves especially useful for overcoming initial challenges in data exploration, particularly when dealing with unfamiliar datasets. Remember to enable the API prior to use.

Section 1.2: Data Canvas

BigQuery’s Data Canvas allows for smooth data exploration, transformation, querying, and visualization. By using natural language, users can easily find, combine, and query table assets, visualize results, and collaborate effortlessly throughout the entire process. Like Data Insights, access to this preview requires completing the Request BigQuery form.

Chapter 2: Enhanced SQL and Python Capabilities

The first video titled "Introducing Gemini, Google's most capable and general AI model. Here are 4 things you should know." provides an overview of Gemini's capabilities and features.

Google has introduced a Short Query Optimized Mode for BigQuery, which aims to reduce latency for smaller queries.

Section 2.1: SQL and Python Code Generation

Elevate your data analysis with the new SQL and Python code generation capabilities. With Gemini integrated into BigQuery, users can effortlessly create or receive code suggestions in SQL or Python, along with insights into existing SQL queries. Additionally, users can initiate data analyses using natural language queries. Google has also unveiled a “Help me Code Tool” that consolidates these functionalities.

Section 2.2: Materialized Views, Partitioning, and Clustering Recommendations

Another valuable feature designed to save processing time and costs while optimizing data infrastructure is the ability to discover and apply recommendations for partitioning, clustering, and materialized views.
