- :class:`~google.cloud.bigquery.client.Client` manages connections to the
  BigQuery API. Use the client methods to run jobs (such as a
  :class:`~google.cloud.bigquery.job.QueryJob` via
  :meth:`~google.cloud.bigquery.client.Client.query`) and manage resources.

- :class:`~google.cloud.bigquery.dataset.Dataset` represents a
  collection of tables.

- :class:`~google.cloud.bigquery.table.Table` represents a single "relation".
