Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Sort the results of a query according to a specific list of fields with the ORDER BY clause."

A block of code is set as follows:

UPDATE
    `bigqueryml-packt.03_bigquery_syntax.first_table`
SET
    description= 'This is my updated description'
WHERE
    id_key=1;

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "BigQuery supports two different SQL dialects: standard SQL and legacy SQL."
