The BigQuery Connection API enables developers to create and manage connections between BigQuery and external data sources such as Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner, and other databases. These connections allow BigQuery to query data in external sources without moving or copying data. The API supports creating, updating, deleting, and listing connections as well as managing IAM policies on connections.
