These instructions explain how to connect your Looker account to superQuery’s query optimization engine.
When connected, your queries will pass through superQuery — where it will be automatically optimized — before being executed in BigQuery.
The result: a significant reduction in query costs and execution time.
General
- Click on the Integrations link in the sidebar of superQuery:
- Enable your desired connection by clicking “Connect”
- After clicking “Connect” you’ll see the username and password screen, like so:
- Whitelist your IP Address if necessary
- Copy the hostname and port from this window into your service of choice.
- server: bi.superquery.io
- port: 3306
6. Finalize the connection.
