# UDP Event store

The UDP Event store is a collection of Google BigQuery tables that store all behavioral data for all time. It is a major component of the [UDP Data lake](/products/data-and-analytics/unizin-data-platform/data-stores/data-lake.md).

By exploding JSON-source Caliper events into a wide tabular structure, the <code>expanded</code> table offers a performant, scalable method of accessing terabytes of event data at low-cost.</td></tr><tr><td><a href="#event-table"><strong>Event table</strong></a></td><td>The <code>events</code> table is a legacy BigQuery table that captures all event data for all time. Its schema provides complete, but basic, access to Caliper events captured by the UDP. This table has been deprecated and is no longer in use.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://resources.unizin.org/products/data-and-analytics/unizin-data-platform/data-stores/data-lake/udp-event-store.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
