'bigquery://projectID/[location/]datasetID?queryString'

Where queryString can optionally configure the following option:
- credentialsFile
- credentialJSON (with url-base64 encoded json)
- endpoint
- userAgent
- apiKey
- quotaProject
- scopes

Since this library uses Google Cloud API you can pass your credentials via GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable.

Usage:

package main

import (
    "database/sql"
    "fmt"
    "context"
    "log"
   _ "github.com/flarco/bigquery"
)


type Participant struct {
	Name string
	Splits []float64
}


func main() {

	db, err := sql.Open("bigquery", "bigquery://myProjectID/mydatasetID")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer db.Close()

	SQL := `WITH races AS (
		  SELECT "800M" AS race,
		    [STRUCT("Ben" as name, [23.4, 26.3] as splits), 
		 	 STRUCT("Frank" as name, [23.4, 26.3] as splits)
			]
		       AS participants)
		SELECT
		  race,
		  participant
		FROM races r
		CROSS JOIN UNNEST(r.participants) as participant`

	rows, err := db.QueryContext(context.Background(), SQL)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer rows.Close()
	for rows.Next() {
		if err := rows.Err(); err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		var race string
		var participant Participant
		err = rows.Scan(&race, &participant)
		fmt.Printf("fetched: %v %+v\n", race, participant)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
	}
}

Benchmark

Benchmark runs 3 times the following queries:

primitive types:

   SELECT state,gender,year,name,number 
   FROM `bigquery-public-data.usa_names.usa_1910_2013` LIMIT 10000

complex type (repeated string/repeated record)

   SELECT  t.publication_number, t.inventor, t.assignee, t.description_localized 
   FROM `patents-public-data.patents.publications_202105` t ORDER BY 1 LIMIT 1000

In both case database/sql driver is faster and allocate way less memory than GCP BigQuery API Client
