BigQuery is a data warehouse from Google that is used to provide business intelligence through reports and dashboards. It is a data storage and management system used to bring data from several data sources (like Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook, etc.) for the purpose of reporting and analysis. Why should you use GA4 with BigQuery? When you use GA4 with BigQuery, you can: 1) Save your user-specific data from being deleted. 2) You can access unsampled raw events and user-level data. 3) Your data is not subject to cardinality limits. 4) You actually own your data. 5) You can do advanced data manipulation. 6) You can integrate GA4 data with other data sources. 7) You can work retroactively on GA4 data. 8) You can easily filter out or modify incorrect GA4 data. To benefit from GA4 the most, learn and master BigQuery. Why should you use natural language to generate SQL? Natural language refers to the language humans use daily to communicate, such as English, French, Spanish etc. SQL (Structured Query Language) is a programming language which is used to store, access and manipulate data in a database like BigQuery. SQL has a complex syntax and structure. You will need to learn and memorize many keywords, operators, and functions. And understanding how to combine them can be challenging. SQL queries can become progressively harder to understand and debug as they become more complex. Even small syntax errors or logical mistakes can result in incorrect results. Complex queries often involve nested subqueries, multiple joins, and complex logic, which can be difficult to follow. All of this can make SQL hard to learn and use, especially for absolute beginners. With the advent of AI tools like ChatGPT, it is now possible to convert natural language into SQL queries. To convert natural language into SQL query, you give instructions to chatGPT in plain English, and then chatGPT converts your text-based instructions into SQL for BigQuery. #2 Do you want better skills in digital analytics and marketing?
