如何在 bigquery 中动态连接表以避免公共列重复

Question

I have 2 tables with a large number of columns (each has around 700-800 columns, which makes it not feasible to individually write all the column names). Both the tables have a few common rows. I need to dynamically union both the tables such that the common columns don't get repeated and are queried only once in the final table. For example:

TABLE 1:
+---------+--------+------+-------+
|firstname|lastname|upload|product|
+---------+--------+------+-------+
|    alice|       a|   100|apple  | 
|      bob|       b|    23|orange |
+---------+--------+------+-------+

TABLE 2:

+---------+--------+------+-------+
|firstname|lastname|books |active |
+---------+--------+------+-------+
|    alice|       a|   10 |yes    | 
|      bob|       b|    2 |no     |
+---------+--------+------+-------+

FINAL TABLE:

+---------+--------+------+-------+-----+------+
|firstname|lastname|upload|product|books|active|
+---------+--------+------+-------+-----+------+
|    alice|       a|   100|apple  | 10  | yes  |
|      bob|       b|    23|orange | 2   | no   | 
+---------+--------+------+-------+-----+------+

Answer 1

Just to give you a direction to look into

select *
from table1
join table2
using(firstname, lastname)          

if applied to sample data in your question - output is
