Optimizing BigQuery Queries for Arrays: A Better Approach to Converting Key-Value Pairs into Separate Columns
BigQuery: Converting key-value pairs in Array to columns Overview of the Problem The problem at hand involves converting key-value pairs stored in an array field (event_params) into separate columns. The original table has a repetitive structure, with each row having an arbitrary number of rows inside the event_params field. Each big row can be repeated as it can be generated by the same user. The goal is to transform this data into a format where the key-value pairs are separated into distinct columns.
