How can I change the project in BigQuery

Question

When configuring the Big-Query command line tool I was asked to set up a default project. However, now I have many projects and I can't happen to find how do I switch from one project to the other. Does someone know how to navigate the projects using the command line? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You have two ways to do it:

• Specify --project_id global flag in bq . Example: bq ls -j --project_id <PROJECT>
• Change default project by issuing gcloud config set project <PROJECT>

Answer 2

We were also facing the same issue, and tried the setting --project_id param and default project using gcloud config set project command, but no luck.

Then we created the .bigqueryrc file and passed the path via --bigqueryrc flag, it worked.

content of the .bigqueryrc file

--project_id=gcp_project_id

Example:

bq --bigqueryrc=/path_to_file/.bigqueryrc ls -j

Answer 3

bq为我考虑的默认项目存储在$HOME/.config/gcloud/configurations/config_default (Linux)

Answer 4

In my case all aforementioned options were overridden by a key "quota_project_id" in ~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json

"quota_project_id": "my-project",
