title: How to add "array of strings" as a schema value for BigQuery
body: <p>I want to store an array of string values in a single column in BigQuery. In order to do that I need to first create a table with the proper schema. The schema identifier for the array is <code>ARRAY&lt;T&gt;</code> where <code>T</code> is the data type.</p>
  
  <p>For example: <code>T</code> replaced by <code>INT64</code> as <code>ARRAY&lt;INT64&gt;</code> enables the storage of 64-bit integer array in that column. How should I get this same effect but for storing string values? I have already tried <code>STRING</code>, <code>VARCHAR</code> and <code>CHAR</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Just mention: I am using latest <code>google-cloud</code> python package</p>
