As Data Scientist looking out to use Reader account, Which ones are the correct considerations about Reader Accounts for Third-Party Access?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Data sharing is only supported between Snowflake accounts. As a data provider, you might want to share data with a consumer who does not already have a Snowflake account or is not ready to be-come a licensed Snowflake customer.

To facilitate sharing data with these consumers, you can create reader accounts. Reader accounts (formerly known as ''read-only accounts'') provide a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to share data without requiring the consumer to become a Snowflake customer.

Each reader account belongs to the provider account that created it. As a provider, you use shares to share databases with reader accounts; however, a reader account can only consume data from the provider account that created it.

So, Data Sharing is possible between Snowflake & Non-snowflake accounts via Reader Account.

I thought data sharing could happen outside Snowflake too?

I’m a bit confused about data sharing; I thought it could happen between different platforms, but maybe it’s just Snowflake accounts?

I feel like I’ve seen a question about DML tasks before, and I think it’s true that reader accounts can’t perform those operations.

Reader Accounts seem like a convenient way to share data without requiring the consumer to be a full Snowflake customer. I'll make sure to select the options that highlight the benefits and limitations of this account type.
