bigquery dataset name starting with a number and TABLE_DATE_RANGE

Question

I\'m using bigquery with a dataset called \'87891428\' containing daily tables. I try to query a dates range thanks to the function TABLE_DATE_RANGE:

SELECT avg(         


        

Answer 1

The fix for this is to use brackets around the dataset name and table prefix:

SELECT avg(foo) 
FROM (
      TABLE_DATE_RANGE([87891428.a_abc_], 
                       TIMESTAMP('2014-09-30'),
                       TIMESTAMP('2014-10-19'))
     )
