Reader Overview
When reading from BigQuery, each table is considered a feature type in FME and each row of a table is one feature in FME as long as there are no repeated fields.
In general, large volumes of data may not be read from BigQuery. A WHERE clause may be specified to limit the amount of data read. Alternatively, choosing a destination table and enabling “Allow Large Results” will allow large volumes of data to be read.
