 ### Functions and operators
 
-Bigtable offers a wide range of [SQL functions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/reference/sql/functions-all) and [operators](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/reference/sql/operators) and [conditional expressions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/reference/sql/conditional_expressions).
+Bigtable offers a wide range of [SQL functions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/reference/sql/functions-all) and [operators](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/reference/sql/operators) and [conditional expressions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/reference/sql/conditional_expressions). When developing an application using Bigtable, you should always consider if the data manipulation can be performed using a SQL function before trying to develop the logic in the client application. For best practices on  using Bigtable SQL from an application, see this [guide](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/googlesql-develop-apps) that explains how to create the client, prepare the query, and read the results.
