US Patent 11868317 Systems and methods for attachable-and-detachable database sessions

In an embodiment, a database platform maintains a first account and a second account, where the second account has stored therein an attachable-and-detachable database session. The database platform receives, from a second-account user in the second account, a request to grant, to a first-account user in the first account, access to the attachable-and-detachable database session, and responsively grants the requested access. The database platform receives, from the first-account user, an attachment request requesting that the first-account user attach to the attachable-and-detachable database session, and responsively sets the attachable-and-detachable database session as a current database session for the first-account user. The database platform executes at least one command received from the first-account user with respect to the attachable-and-detachable database session.
