Inserting record in to Big Query table when datatype is already defined

Answer 1

The pictures you have provided are not very helpful with regards to your query. But I suppose the error you are facing is due to you are inserting string value into INT datatype column. Try once removing the quotes from the insert query for the EmployeeID column. e.g. instead of '100598' write only 100598 (considering that is the integer column where you are trying to insert)

Answer 2

If you enclose your integers in quotes, you are effectively converting them to a STRING. Try again but remove your quotes from the values that are supposed to be Integers.
