Snowflake External Table with Data Share?

136 Views Asked by At

If I share a Snowflake External table via a direct share with some other Snowflake account(maybe in another cloud region), who pays the compute + data transfer cost when the other account queries the shared table?

If you share data (as opposed to replicate it) then there is no data transfer so there is no cost.

Queries run using a virtual warehouse and costs for a warehouse are charged to the account where the warehouse exists
