info

You need a Catalog managed BigQuery integration to push back information to it

How to​

On your Integration tab (in Settings), click on the Sync back to BigQuery button

The list of available Sync back depends on which technologies you are already integrated with in Castor

What can you sync back to BigQuery ?​

Within our BigQuery Sync back feature, you can push back a description to your tables and columns in BigQuery

  1. Write as many descriptions as you want into Catalog
  2. Request a Sync back to BigQuery in your Settings >> Integration tab
  3. Once notified that the Sync back succeeded, your comments are updated in BigQuery

What happens if a descriptions already exists in BigQuery ?

  • Catalog will not overwrite any existing description
  • You can write and store another description in Catalog however
    • Once you decide to delete the existing description in BigQuery, a Sync back will be able to push the description you wrote in Catalog to BigQuery!

Do I need to provide additional access?​

The level of permission of the existing integration remains unchanged.
