<ul><li>BigQuery only supports partitioning by DATE, INTEGER, or RANGE, but not directly by a TIMESTAMP column.</li><li>To partition a table by a TIMESTAMP column in BigQuery, you should explicitly cast it to DATE.</li><li>Converting TIMESTAMP to DATE ensures all rows from the same UTC day are placed in the same partition.</li><li>Data inserted in a partitioned table must be consistent with the partitioning key to avoid errors.</li><li>Query 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS' can be used to verify the partitions created for a table in BigQuery.</li><li>Integer partitioning in BigQuery improves query performance and reduces costs by scanning relevant partitions only.</li><li>Partitioning a table by an integer column like order_year requires specifying start, end, and interval values.</li></ul>
