title: Can BigQuery View reference other Tables and Views from different datasets/projects?
body: <p>According to <a href="https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/querying-data#views" rel="nofollow">BigQuery Views docs</a>: "Also, views can only reference other tables and views with the same Dataset location."</p>
  
  <p>But in fact i can create a View like this (query is just for example):</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT a.body 
  FROM [fh-bigquery:reddit_comments.2008] as a
  inner JOIN flatten([bigquery-samples:playlists.playlists],tracks.data)
  as b ON a.author=b.tracks.data.artist.name
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then reference this view in query like a normal table:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM [flow-1202:alex_centre.test_v_501] LIMIT 1000
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And it works.</p>
  
  <p>Do we have more restrictions when using Views instead of Subqueries in BigQuery?</p>
