Use shared data
Explore the inbound shares in a trial account and use shared and local data together.

Overview
Data is more useful when it crosses accounts. This workshop shows how, and what it costs.
Collaboration, Marketplace & Cost Estimation, Badge 2 of Hands-On Essentials, is a free, self-paced Snowflake workshop on sharing. You use inbound shares in a trial account, create and accept listings, add a free Marketplace data set and set Resource Monitors. It is lab proof, not a SnowPro certification, and Snowflake advises finishing Badge 1 first and offers a SQL refresher.

We design this course ourselves. Snowflake issues the credential, and LUNARTECH is independent of Snowflake.
A trial account already contains shared data from Snowflake. You explore those inbound shares, see how shared databases differ from ones you own, and combine shared and local data in a single query.
- What a share is and how it appears in your account
- Exploring the shared databases in a trial account
- Shared data is read-only: what that means
- Joining shared data to local tables
- Where shared data lives and who pays
You build A query that joins a shared data set to a table of your own and answers one question.
Sharing starts with choosing what to give and to whom. You create a listing for a table or view, target another Snowflake account, add a description a consumer can use, and control what the consumer can see.
- Direct shares and listings compared
- Choosing what to put in a listing
- Writing a clear listing description
- Targeting a specific account
- Reviewing and revoking access
You build A listing that shares a prepared table with a second account.
Being the consumer teaches the other half of sharing. You accept a listing shared with your account, query the result, and learn how a partner can be given access to your own shares.
- Finding a listing that was shared with you
- Accepting a listing and its database
- Querying what you received
- Giving a partner access to your shares
- Checking who has access
You build A listing accepted in one account, with a note on what the second account can and cannot change.
The Marketplace holds data sets you can add without building a pipeline. You browse and judge listings, get a free one, and combine it with your own data to produce an insight you could not reach alone.
- What the Marketplace offers
- Judging a listing before you get it
- Getting a free data set
- Combining Marketplace data with local data
- Keeping track of the data you have added
You build A query that enriches a local table with a free Marketplace data set.
Compute use is what costs money, and a runaway query can use a lot. You learn what consumes credits, create Resource Monitors with thresholds and actions, and test that they alert and suspend as intended.
- What consumes credits
- Creating a Resource Monitor
- Thresholds, notifications and suspend actions
- Attaching a monitor to a warehouse
- Checking that a monitor works
You build A Resource Monitor with a notification and a suspend threshold, attached to a warehouse.
A shared data set can multiply use. You estimate the compute a collaboration will need, decide who pays for what, and set limits so that sharing data does not produce a surprise bill.
- Estimating compute for a shared workload
- Who pays when data is shared
- Limits for partners and consumers
- Reviewing usage after the first week
- Writing a short cost plan
You build A one-page cost plan for a data collaboration, with limits and a review step.

Reviews
Real stories from the community.
LUNARTECH Academy has been the most empowering learning experience of my life, giving me a clear, structured path from the absolute basics to building real-world AI systems with confidence.
Your page is fantastic. As a bachelor’s student in Data Science now accepted for a master’s at UConn, your work has been a real source of motivation.
The programme’s clear, bite-sized content and practical projects dramatically improved my speed from fuzzy idea to MVP and my ability to communicate AI value. I followed the system, and it works.
I really appreciate your teaching style and the way you break down complex topics. It has been incredibly helpful.
After years working mainly with R for econometrics, I found your Python machine learning course a refreshing and engaging way to learn Python.
As a Data Science graduate, I want to thank you for the effort you put into making videos to support growing data scientists.
I’ve been following your work since taking your machine learning course, and I’m impressed by your practical approach to applying AI.
