DATA SHARING IN DATABASE SYSTEMS

Abstract:

The subject technology generates, using one or more processors, a materialized view over a share object, the share object including data associated with a first account. The subject technology merges, using the one or more processors, the materialized view and the share object. The subject technology updates, using the one or more processors, the data associated with the first account subsequent to generating the materialized view. The subject technology generates, using the one or more processors, a refreshed materialized view with respect to the share object in response to detecting the updated data. The subject technology shares, using the one or more processors, the refreshed materialized view to a second account in response to a request from the second account.
