Seems like the flag --batch has no use when set within the bq query command:
bq query "SELECT name,count FROM mydataset.mytable WHERE myfield = 'condition' ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 6" --batch
The command above runs the query straight away.
I’m running version 2.0.7 of BigQuery CLI.
The parser for command flags works like this:
bq [global flags] <command> [command flags] [command parameters]Unfortunately the parser silently drops flags specified after the arguments, so it’s not clear this is what happened to your command line.
To specify
--batch, you would have to put it immediately after “query” like so:bq query --batch "SELECT name,count FROM mydataset.mytable WHERE ..."Since batch mode queries can take a long time, I suggest you run the query async like so:
bq --nosync query --batch "SELECT name,count FROM mydataset.mytable WHERE ..."
