From the web interface to bigquery, it's possible to compose a query and then save it as a view, but this does not seem to work when using standard SQL. For example, when trying to save a view with this query:
SELECT * FROM `bigquery-public-data.samples.shakespeare` LIMIT 10
The error message I get is: "Failed to save view. Invalid table name: bigquery-public-data.samples.shakespeare"
Are views supported for standard SQL, or will they be in the future?
