Query Optimization Techniques
-- Use partitioned table filter
SELECT * FROM sales WHERE sale_date BETWEEN '2025-01-01' AND '2025-01-31';
-- Fact table with keys to dimension tables
SELECT f.order_id, d.customer_name FROM fact_orders f JOIN dim_customers d ON f.customer_id = d.customer_id;
Snowflake Schema
-- Join normalized dimension tables
SELECT f.order_id, d.region_name FROM fact_orders f
JOIN dim_customers c ON f.customer_id = c.customer_id
JOIN dim_regions d ON c.region_id = d.region_id;
Denormalization vs Normalization
-- Denormalized example: customer data in fact table
SELECT order_id, customer_name, customer_city FROM fact_orders;
Using Nested and Repeated Fields for Modeling
SELECT order_id, item.name FROM orders, UNNEST(items) AS item;
Designing for Query Performance

Recommendation systems predict user preferences by analyzing past behavior and item attributes. They enhance user experience by delivering personalized content, products, or services, boosting engagement and sales across domains like e-commerce and media.
# Simple collaborative filtering pseudo example
user_item_matrix = get_user_item_data()
recommendations = collaborative_filter(user_item_matrix, user_id=123)
Collaborative filtering recommends items by leveraging user behavior similarity. It can be user-based, comparing similar users, or item-based, finding related items. This approach does not require item metadata but depends heavily on user interaction data.
# Example: User-based filtering with cosine similarity
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import cosine_similarity
similarity = cosine_similarity(user_vectors)
Content-based filtering recommends items similar to those a user liked, based on item features. It uses item metadata such as categories, keywords, or descriptions to tailor suggestions, useful when user interaction data is sparse.
# Example: Cosine similarity on item features
item_features = get_item_features()
similar_items = find_similar_items(item_id, item_features)
BigQuery ML enables building recommendation models using SQL queries on large datasets. It simplifies model training, evaluation, and deployment within Google Cloud, allowing integration with data warehouses and real-time applications.
CREATE MODEL `project.dataset.recommendation_model`
