Creating the consumer database - Amazon Redshift

Creating the consumer database

On the consumer cluster, you create a database from the datashare. These steps describe how to share data between two clusters in the same account. For information on sharing data across AWS accounts, see Sharing data across AWS accounts in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide.

You can use SQL commands or the query editor v2 tree-view panel to create the database.

To use SQL

  1. Create a database from the datashare for your account and the namespace of the producer cluster. For example:

    create database share_db from datashare mysource of account '123456789012' namespace 'p1234567-8765-4321-p10987654321';

  2. Set permissions so that users can access the database and the schema. For example:

    grant usage on database share_db to usernames;
    grant usage on schema public to usernames;
To use the query editor v2 tree-view panel

  1. Choose Plus sign icon inside a circle, indicating an add or create action. Create, and then choose Database.

  2. Enter a Database name.

  3. (Optional) Select Users and groups, and choose a Database user.

  4. Choose Create using a datashare.

  5. Choose the datashare.

  6. Choose Create database.

    The new datashare datashare database displays in the query editor v2 tree-view panel.

  7. Set permissions so that users can access the database and the schema. For example:

    grant usage on database share_db to usernames;
    grant usage on schema public to usernames;
