LIBNAME GBQ BIGQUERY READ_MODE=STORAGE ...;
PROC SQL; CONNECT TO BIGQUERY(READ_MODE=STORAGE ...);
PROC FEDSQL NOLIB CONN=(DRIVER=FEDSQL;CONOPTS=(DRIVER=BIGQUERY;READ_MODE=STORAGE;...));
The ability to use the READ_MODE= data set option has also been added.
In order to use READ_MODE= option for Storage API, additional permissions on the service account or user ID might be needed. See the BigQuery documentation Predefined roles and permissions for the current list of required permissions.
