Access an AWS Data Exchange data set containing Amazon Redshift data sets

Overview for recipients

An Amazon Redshift data set is a data set that contains AWS Data Exchange datashares for Amazon Redshift. Datashares give you read-only access to the tables, views, schemas, and user-defined functions that a data owner adds to the datashare.

As a recipient, after you accept a data grant, you get access to query the data in Amazon Redshift without extracting, transforming, and loading data. You lose access to the datashare after your data grant expires.

Note

It might take a few minutes to access the datashares after you accept the data grant.

After accepting a data grant, you can do the following:

  • Query data without extracting, transforming, or loading data.

    Access the latest data as soon as the data owner updates it.
