Google Bigquery create table with no code? syntax

Question

I was hoping to use basic SQL Create Table syntax within Google BigQuery to create a table based on columns in 2 existing tables already in BQ. The Google SQL dialect reference does not show a CREATE. All of the documentation seems to imply that I need to know how to code.

Is there any syntax or way to do a

CREATE TABLE XYZ AS 
    SELECT ABC.123, DFG.234 
    from ABC, DFG

?

Answer 1

You cannot do it entirely through a SQL statement.

However, the UI does allow you to save results to a table (max result size is 64MB compressed. The API and command line clients have the same capabilities.
