Replication of share across deployments in database system

1. A data platform comprising:

at least one hardware processor; and

at least one memory storing instructions that cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request by a first account to add a second account to a source share associated with the first account, the source share being configured to grant one or more accounts access to a set of database objects associated with the first account, the first account being on a source deployment of the data platform;

determining, based on the request, whether the second account is on the source deployment; and

in response to determining that the second account is not on the source deployment, replicating the source share on a target deployment of the data platform as a replicated share, the second account being on the target deployment, the replicating of the source share on the target deployment as the replicated share comprising:

accessing, on the source deployment, share data defining the source share;

determining, based on the share data, a set of dependencies that identify one or more database objects on the source deployment from which at least one database object of the set of database objects depends;

generating, on the source deployment, a replication group configured to replicate the source share on the target deployment as the replicated share, the replication group being configured with a refresh schedule, the refresh schedule enabling a change to a definition of the share dta on the source deployment to be applied to a definition of the replicated share on the target deployment; and

replicating, based on the replication group, the one or more database objects, of the source deployment, into a hidden namespace on the target deployment, the hidden namespace being associated with the first account on the target deployment.

2. The data platform of claim 1 , wherein the determining, based on the share data, the set of dependencies comprises:

determining, based on the share data, the set of database objects to which the source share is granting access on the source deployment.

3. The data platform of claim 1 , wherein the replicating of the source share on the target deployment as the replicated share comprises:

generating the replicated share on the target deployment with a same name as the source share of the source deployment, the replicated share being configured to grant the second account with access to the set of database objects replicated on the target deployment.

4. The data platform of claim 3 , wherein the generating of the replicated share on the target deployment with the same name as the source share comprises:

determining whether an existing share on the target deployment has the same name; and

in response to determining that the existing share on the target deployment has the same name, prompting a user to rename the replicated share to a different name.

5. The data platform of claim 1 , wherein the set of database objects includes at least one of an access grant, a table, a view, or a schema.

6. A method comprising:

receiving a request by a first account to add a second account to a source share associated with the first account, the source share being configured to grant one or more accounts access to a set of database objects associated with the first account, the first account being on a source deployment of a data platform;

determining, based on the request, that the second account is not on the source deployment; and

in response to determining that the second account is not on the source deployment, replicating the source share on a target deployment of the data platform as a replicated share, the second account being on the target deployment, the replicating of the source share on the target deployment as the replicated share comprising:

accessing, on the source deployment, share data defining the source share;

determining, based on the share data, a set of dependencies that identify one or more database objects on the source deployment from which at least one database object of the set of database objects depends;

generating, on the source deployment, a replication group configured to replicate the source share on the target deployment as the replicated share, the replication group being configured with a refresh schedule, the refresh schedule enabling a change to a definition of the share data on the source deployment to be applied to a definition of the replicated share on the target deployment; and

replicating, based on the replication group, the one or more database objects, of the source deployment, into a hidden namespace on the target deployment, the hidden namespace being associated with the first account on the target deployment.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the determining, based on the share data, the set of dependencies comprises:

determining, based on the share data, the set of database objects to which the source share is granting access on the source deployment.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the replicating of the source share on the target deployment as the replicated share comprises:

generating the replicated share on the target deployment with a same name as the source share of the source deployment, the replicated share being configured to grant the second account with access to the set of database objects replicated on the target deployment.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the generating of the replicated share on the target deployment with the same name as the source share comprises:

determining whether an existing share on the target deployment has the same name; and

in response to determining that the existing share on the target deployment has the same name, prompting a user to rename the replicated share to a different name.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the set of database objects includes at least one of an access grant, a table, a view, or a schema.

11. A computer-storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, configure the machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request by a first account to add a second account to a source share associated with the first account, the source share being configured to grant one or more accounts access to a set of database objects associated with the first account, the first account being on a source deployment of a data platform;

determining, based on the request, whether the second account is on the source deployment; and

in response to determining that the second account is not on the source deployment, replicating the source share on a target deployment of the data platform as a replicated share, the second account being on the target deployment, the replicating of the source share on the target deployment as the replicated share comprising:

accessing, on the source deployment, share data defining the source share;

determining, based on the share data, a set of dependencies that identify one or more database objects on the source deployment from which at least one database object of the set of database objects depends;

generating, on the source deployment, a replication group configured to replicate the source share on the target deployment as the replicated share, the replication group being configured with a refresh schedule, the refresh schedule enabling a change to a definition of the share data on the source deployment to be applied to a definition of the replicated share on the target deployment; and

replicating, based on the replication group, the one or more database objects, of the source deployment, into a hidden namespace on the target deployment, the hidden namespace being associated with the first account on the target deployment.

12. The computer-storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the determining, based on the share data, the set of dependencies comprises:

determining, based on the share data, the set of database objects to which the source share is granting access on the source deployment.

13. The computer-storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the replicating of the source share on the target deployment as the replicated share comprises:

generating the replicated share on the target deployment with a same name as the source share of the source deployment, the replicated share being configured to grant the second account with access to the set of database objects replicated on the target deployment.

14. The computer-storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the generating of the replicated share on the target deployment with the same name as the source share comprises:

determining whether an existing share on the target deployment has the same name; and

in response to determining that the existing share on the target deployment has the same name, prompting a user to rename the replicated share to a different name.

15. The computer-storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the set of database objects includes at least one of an access grant, a table, a view, or a schema.
