Schema for session data tables based on Google Analytics data ("session_streaming")

Important!This algorithm works with Google Analytics Universal data format only.

Tables

Streamed data is separated into tables by days, according to a time zone of a Google Analytics view selected during streaming setup.

Tables naming is 'session_streaming_YYYYMMDD'.

Session data are generated within 24 hours (for example data for 13.04.2016 will be available not earlier than 14.04.2016).

Rows

Each session is written to a separate row.

Columns

The columns within the table are listed below.
