The Google BigQuery database connector can not be used for personalization fields. The data table will not be visible under Tables & Views.
It can be used to pull data into Emarsys for segmentation purposes only.
This is because BigQuery is optimized for massive datasets and its queries take 2-5 seconds, regardless of the size of the dataset. Using it for personalization queries would have a negative impact on email sending performance.
