What is true about Snowflake database sharing?
Snowflake enables the sharing of databases through shares, which are created by data providers and “imported” by data consumers. All database objects shared between accounts are read-only (i.e. the objects cannot be modified or deleted, including adding or modifying table data).
Can Snowflake read my data?
Only the user and the Snowflake runtime components can read the data. The runtime components decrypt the data in memory for query processing. No third-party service can see data in the clear.
