# BigQuery Ingestion Guide: Overview
|
||
|
|
||
|
## What You Will Get Out of This Guide
|
||
|
|
||
|
This guide will help you set up the BigQuery connector through the DataHub UI to begin ingesting metadata into DataHub.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Upon completing this guide, you will have a recurring ingestion pipeline that will extract metadata from BigQuery and load it into DataHub. This will include to following BigQuery asset types:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [Projects](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/resource-hierarchy#projects)
|
||
|
* [Datasets](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/datasets-intro)
|
||
|
* [Tables](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/tables-intro)
|
||
|
* [Views](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/views-intro)
|
||
|
* [Materialized Views](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/materialized-views-intro)
|
||
|
|
||
|
This recurring ingestion pipeline will also extract:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Usage statistics** to help you understand recent query activity
|
||
|
* **Table-level lineage** (where available) to automatically define interdependencies between datasets
|
||
|
* **Table- and column-level profile statistics** to help you understand the shape of the data
|
||
|
|
||
|
:::caution
|
||
|
You will NOT have extracted [Routines](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/routines), [Search Indexes](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/search-intro) from BigQuery, as the connector does not support ingesting these assets

## Advanced Guides and Reference

||
|
If you're looking to do something more in-depth, want to use CLI instead of the DataHub UI, or just need to look at the reference documentation for this connector, use these links:
