You need to run an important query in BigQuery but expect it to return a lot of records. You want to find out how much it will cost to run the query. You are using on-demand pricing. What should you do?
B) Use the command line to run a dry run query to estimate the number of bytes read. Then convert that bytes estimate to dollars using the Pricing Calculator.
A) Arrange to switch to Flat-Rate pricing for this query, then move back to on-demand.
C) Use the command line to run a dry run query to estimate the number of bytes returned. Then convert that bytes estimate to dollars using the Pricing Calculator.

I thought dry runs only estimate rows, not bytes?

Wait, can you really switch back to on-demand after flat-rate?

I disagree, D seems more straightforward for a quick check.

B is the way to go! Dry run gives a solid estimate.

I feel like option D is not the best choice since counting rows doesn't really give a good cost estimate. I think I’ll go with B.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between bytes read and bytes returned. I hope I can remember which one to use for the cost estimate.

I practiced a similar question where we had to estimate costs in BigQuery, and I feel like the dry run is definitely the way to go.

I think I remember that using a dry run query can help estimate costs, but I'm not sure if it's option B or C.

Option D looks promising to me. Disabling the interdigit timeout on the route pattern seems like it would solve the issue and allow the call to route out immediately.

I'm a bit confused by the question. Can someone explain the difference between business rules, transform maps, and reconciliation rules?
