External Table From BigQuery

[Kayla]

I'm working on implementing Unity Catalog, and part of that is determining how to handle our BigQuery tables. We need to utilize them to connect to another application, or else we'd stay within regular delta tables on Databricks.
The page https://docs.gcp.databricks.com/external-data/bigquery.html#read-and-write-to-a-bigquery-table gives information on how to connect, but makes it clear that it will not work with Unity Catalog. Is there a way to do this with Unity Catalog?

Hi Kayla,

I know your question is already a year old, but it's possible to create BigQuery tables in Unity Catalog: https://docs.gcp.databricks.com/en/query-federation/bigquery.html

Best regards
