US Patent 11271936 Database system integrations with external storage locations

A command to load or unload data at a storage location is received. In response to the command, a storage integration object associated with the storage location is identified. The storage integration object identifies a cloud identity object that corresponds to a cloud identity that is associated with a proxy identity object corresponding to a proxy identity granted permission to access the storage location. The data is loaded or unloaded at the storage location by assuming the proxy identity.
