tried doing this but not getting exactly what i want:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT 
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY id ORDER BY id) as RowNum, 
    id, 
    timestamp,
    event
FROM
    `table`
) MyData
WHERE RowNum < 3


A: SELECT id, 
       MIN(`timestamp`) first_timestamp, 
       FIRST_VALUE(event) OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY timestamp ASC) first_event,
       MAX(`timestamp`) last_timestamp, 
       LAST_VALUE(event) OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY timestamp ASC) last_event
 -- or FIRST_VALUE(event) OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY timestamp DESC) last_event
FROM `table`
GROUP BY id


A: Here's one way:
SELECT id, timestamp, event 
FROM (
    SELECT id, timestamp, event  
         , ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY id ORDER BY timestamp asc) as r1
         , ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY id ORDER BY timestamp desc) as r2
    FROM table
) MyData
WHERE 1 IN (r1,r2)

The idea is to order each id by timestamp in both ascending and descending order, then pick the first one for each ordering.
