DATA SHARING IN MULTI-TENANT DATABASE SYSTEMS

Abstract:

The subject technology generates a materialized view over a share object, the share object including data associated with a first account. The subject technology merges the materialized view and the share object. The subject technology determines that the materialized view is stale with respect to the share object based at least in part on the merging. The subject technology generates a refreshed materialized view with respect to the share object in response to the determining. The subject technology shares the refreshed materialized view to a second account in response to a request from the second account.
