Querying datashares
With Amazon Redshift, you can query data across datashares from producer clusters to securely access live data without copying or transferring it. The following sections cover the details of setting up and querying datashares in your Amazon Redshift environment.
Creating databases from datashares
To start querying data in the datashare, create a database from a datashare. You can create only one database from a specified datashare.
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/redshiftv2/
