Table partitioning

BigQuery table partitioning is supported. When partitioning a table, BigQuery creates a pseudo column called _PARTITIONTIME.

To use partitions, you need to add a column partition_date with the type date in the foreign table definition, for example:

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE my_bigquery_table (
    column1 text,
    column2 bigint,
    partition_date date -- <-- partition!
) SERVER bigquery_srv
OPTIONS (
    fdw_dataset  'my_dataset',
    fdw_table 'my_table',
    fdw_key '/opt/bigquery_fdw/key.json'
);

You can then use the partition in the WHERE clause:

SELECT column1, column2
FROM my_bigquery_table
WHERE column1 = 'abc' AND partition_date = '2017-12-01'
