Extend CloudWorks to support *External tables* in Google BigQuery

HeatherH

CloudWorks currently integrates with Google BigQuery and supports the following table types: Standard BigQuery tables, and Views. It would be useful if this support could be extended to include External tables (where the data is stored outside of Google BigQuery).

At the moment I need to create an intermediate table in Google BigQuery that updates periodically from the External table. This is not suitable for my use-case as the External table is not updated at a predictable frequency, so it is difficult to determine the periodicity to use when updating the intermediate table.
