detailed] data schema documentation.

For regular cost monitoring and analysis, standard tables utilize the
`gcp_billing_export_v1_<BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID>` format, presenting a comprehensive
view of Google Cloud expenses.
For standard usage cost data, set the table pattern format to
`gcp_billing_export_v1`. This table pattern is set as the default when no other
is specified.

Alternatively, detailed tables, identifiable by the `gcp_billing_export_resource_v1_<BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID>`
format, offer richer data. They include additional fields, such as `effective_price`,
enabling a more granular view of expenses.
For detailed usage cost data, set the table pattern to `gcp_billing_export_resource_v1`.
Detailed tables include the standard fields and additional fields, such as
`effective_price`, enabling a more granular view of expenses.

The table pattern can match both basic and detailed tables, such as `gcp_billing`,
allowing retrieval of cost usage data from both table types.
