How to add "array of strings" as a schema value for BigQuery

Viewed 10470

I want to store an array of string values in a single column in BigQuery. In order to do that I need to first create a table with the proper schema. The schema identifier for the array is ARRAY<T> where T is the data type.

For example: T replaced by INT64 as ARRAY<INT64> enables the storage of 64-bit integer array in that column. How should I get this same effect but for storing string values? I have already tried STRING, VARCHAR and CHAR.

Just mention: I am using latest google-cloud python package
