    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for generating a transactional change tracking summary for a database. A method includes executing a transaction on a table of a database, wherein the table includes a micro-partition and the transaction is executed on the micro-partition. The method includes, in response to the transaction being fully executed, generating a change tracking entry comprising an indication of one or modifications made to the table by the transaction. The method includes storing the change tracking entry in a change tracking stream, wherein the change tracking stream includes one or more sequential change tracking entries that each correspond to a different transaction that is fully executed on the table.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for automated maintenance of external tables in database systems are disclosed. A method includes receiving, by a database platform, read access to content in an external data storage platform that is separate from the database platform. The method includes defining an external table based on the content in the external data storage platform. The method includes connecting the database platform to the external table such that the database platform has read access for the external table and does not have write access for the external table. The method includes generating metadata for the external table, the metadata comprising information about data stored in the external table. The method includes receiving a notification that a modification has been made to the content in the external data storage platform, the modification comprising one or more of an addition of a file, a deletion of a file, or an update to a file in a source location for the external table. The method includes refreshing the metadata for the external table in response to the modification being made to the content in the external data storage platform.

    Abstract: A data dictionary generation system automatically populates and updates a data dictionary for listings offering shared data. The data listing distribution component distributes the data dictionaries to various remote deployments in a data exchange by using a global messaging framework and replication method. For example, the data listing distribution component replicates a data dictionary generated for the listing and its shared data from a source deployment to one or more destination deployments associated with various geographic regions. The data listing distribution component distributes the listing to the various remote deployments to allow for the listing, including its shared data and data dictionary, to be accessed by users within the geographic region associated with the remote deployment.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sharing data using database roles. Database roles are generated within a database container of a provider account. Grants to a particular subset of the plurality of data objects of the database container may be assigned to each of the database roles, and each of the database roles are granted to a share object. The share object is mounted within a consumer account to generate an imported copy of each of the database roles. The imported copy of one or more of the database roles is granted to each of one or more account level roles of the consumer account. When a new object is added to a particular database role, it is immediately available for consumption by any account level roles to which the imported copy of the particular database role has been granted.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing column hiding are provided. The systems and methods receive, from a client device, a query associated with a table. The systems and methods determine an access restriction associated with the client device. The systems and methods identify a column of the table that is restricted by the access restriction associated with the client device. In response to identifying the column of the table that is restricted by the access restriction associated with the client device, the systems and methods provide a result of the query that excludes data corresponding to the column.
