Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for tracking a series of changes to database data are disclosed. A method includes executing a transaction to modify data in a micro-partition of a table of a database by generating a new micro-partition that embodies the transaction. The method includes associating transaction data with the new micro-partition, wherein the transaction data comprises a timestamp when the transaction was fully executed, and further includes associating modification data with the new micro-partition that comprises an indication of one or more rows of the table that were modified by the transaction. The method includes joining the transaction data with the modification data to generate joined data and querying the joined data to determine a listing of intermediate modifications made to the table between a first timestamp and a second timestamp.

Abstract: A method of sharing data in a multi-tenant database includes inspecting, by a processing device of a multiple tenant database, a sharer account to determine an existence of a link between an alias object in a target account and a database, wherein the database is linked to a first role object included in a share object in the sharer account. The method includes granting a second role object, in the target account, access rights to the alias object, wherein the first role object having one or more grants to one or more resources of the sharer account, and wherein the target account accesses the one or more resources using the one or more grants of the share object and using the alias object without at least one of copying the one or more resources or transmitting the one or more resources.

Abstract: Techniques for schema mismatch detection and evolution are described. When data is being uploaded into a source table, schema of the data to be uploaded can be compared with the schema for the source table. If a schema mismatch is detected, the schema of the source table can be modified, and the upload can be continued without data loss.

Abstract: Example resource management systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a resource manager is to be coupled to one or more virtual data warehouse instances that each comprise a plurality of computing resources. A resource manager receives a query directed to database data. The resource manager determines a plurality of tasks associated with the query. The resource manager distributes the plurality of tasks among the one or more virtual data warehouse instances to cause each computing resource of the plurality of computing resources of the one or more virtual data warehouse instances to process a respective task of the plurality of tasks. The resource manager receives results obtained from the processing of the plurality of tasks. The resource manager uses the results to respond to the query.

Abstract: Techniques for continuous ingestion of files using custom file formats are described. A custom file format may include formats not natively supported by a data system. Unstructured files (e.g., images) may also be considered custom file formats. A custom file format may be set using a user defined table function and scanner options.

Abstract: Sharing data in a data exchange across multiple cloud computing platforms and/or cloud computing platform regions is described. An example computer-implemented method can include creating a listing in a data exchange, the listing including a data set hosted by a first cloud computing entity. The data set can be shared with a second cloud computing entity. The method further includes receiving a request associated with a customer account of the second cloud computing entity to access the data set of the listing hosted by the first cloud computing entity and replicating at least a subset of the data set of the listing from the first cloud computing entity to a provider account at the second cloud computing entity to be accessible by the customer account at the second cloud computing entity.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for efficiently querying external tables. In an embodiment, a database platform receives a query that is directed at least in part to external data in an external table stored on a data storage platform that is external to the database platform. The external table includes a plurality of partitions. The database platform identifies, from external-table metadata, a subset of the plurality of partitions of the external table as including data that potentially satisfies the query. The external-table metadata is stored by the database platform. The database platform identifies data that satisfies the query by scanning the identified subset of the partitions, and responds to the query at least in part with the identified data that satisfies the query.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for retrying a query. A method includes receiving a query directed to database data and assigning execution of the query to one or more execution nodes of an execution platform, the one or more execution nodes configured to execute the query on a first version of a database platform. The method includes determining that execution of the query was unsuccessful. The method includes assigning a first retry execution of the query to the one or more execution nodes of the execution platform and determining whether a regression or an intermittent fault caused the execution of the query to be unsuccessful based at least in part on whether the first retry execution of the query was successful or unsuccessful.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing membership in a private data exchange are provided herein. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a request for access to a first listing of a data exchange, each listing of the data exchange comprising version metadata. The method further includes, in response to the request, accessing a first version of a data set referenced by the first listing, wherein the first version of the data set comprises a first structure defined by first version metadata, a second listing of the data exchange references a second version of the data set, the second version of the data set comprising a second structure defined by second version metadata, and the second structure is incompatible with the first structure.
