Patent 11294868 was granted and assigned to Snowflake (Real Estate Company) on April, 2022 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Provided herein are systems and methods for an efficient method of replicating share objects to remote deployments. For example, the method may comprise modifying a share object of a first account of a data exchange into a global object wherein the share object includes grant metadata indicating share grants to a set of objects of a database. The method may further comprise creating, in a second account of the data exchange, a local replica of the share object on the remote deployment based on the global object, wherein the second account is located in a remote deployment. The set of objects of the database may be replicated to a local database replica on the remote deployment and the share grants may be replicated to the local replica of the share object.
