Schema:: Data Sharing Usage

LISTING_ACCESS_HISTORY view¶

This view in the DATA_SHARING_USAGE schema can be used to explore the history of consumers’ usage of your listings. LISTING_ACCESS_HISTORY provides object-level information about queries run against the data shares or Native Apps attached to your listings. For more information about the data provided by the LISTING_ACCESS_HISTORY view, see the Columns section.

Each row returned by LISTING_ACCESS_HISTORY represents a single time the listing was accessed by a consumer. Because the rows represent queries instead of sessions, it is likely that the same listing will appear multiple times, one row for each query.

A single consumer query can access objects from multiple listings. The QUERY_TOKEN identifies the query that generated a row in the listing access history. To identify a collection of listing objects accessed by a single consumer query, use the QUERY_TOKEN.

The LISTING_ACCESS_HISTORY view does not allow providers to obtain any private consumer information, such as the actual text of queries. The view also excludes any objects that are not owned by the provider account. For example, if a consumer joins data from your listing with their own data or another provider’s data, only listing objects that you own are returned by the LISTING_ACCESS_HISTORY view.

Columns¶

Column Name	Data Type	Description
QUERY_TOKEN	VARCHAR	Unique ID for each query run by a consumer. A QUERY_TOKEN does not correlate with any actual query identifier on the consumer side.
QUERY_DATE	DATE	Date when the query was executed.
EXCHANGE_NAME	VARCHAR	Snowflake Marketplace or the data exchange where the listing is available.
SNOWFLAKE_REGION	VARCHAR	Snowflake region where the consumption occurred.
LISTING_GLOBAL_NAME	VARCHAR	Global name of the listing in the Snowflake Marketplace or data exchange that provides the share.
PROVIDER_ACCOUNT_LOCATOR	VARCHAR	Account locator of the share owner.
PROVIDER_ACCOUNT_NAME	VARCHAR	Account name of the share owner.
SHARE_NAME	VARCHAR	Name of the data share that consumers accessed. When IS_SHARE is FALSE, the value is NULL.
CONSUMER_ACCOUNT_LOCATOR	VARCHAR	Account locator of the consumer.
CONSUMER_ACCOUNT_NAME	VARCHAR	Account name of the consumer.
CONSUMER_ACCOUNT_ORGANIZATION	VARCHAR	Name of the organization for the consumer account.
LISTING_OBJECTS_ACCESSED	ARRAY	Use SHARE_OBJECTS_ACCESSED as it contains the same data. When IS_SHARE is FALSE, the value is NULL. See LISTING_OBJECTS_ACCESSED array for formatting.
REGION_GROUP	VARCHAR	Region group where the account of the consumer is located.
CONSUMER_NAME	VARCHAR	Contains the name of the consumer account that accessed, used, or requested a listing. If no name is available, such as for trial accounts, the value is NULL.
IS_SHARE	BOOLEAN	TRUE if the access was on a share. When TRUE, the SHARE_OBJECTS_ACCESSED column provides details about the share objects accessed by the consumer query.
IS_APPLICATION	BOOLEAN	TRUE if the access was on an application. When TRUE, APPLICATION_OBJECTS_ACCESSED column provides details about the application objects accessed by the consumer query.
SHARE_OBJECTS_ACCESSED	ARRAY	Details the share objects accessed by the consumer query. When IS_SHARE is FALSE, the value is NULL. See SHARE_OBJECTS_ACCESSED array for formatting.
APPLICATION_OBJECTS_ACCESSED	ARRAY	Details the application objects accessed by the consumer query. When IS_APPLICATION is FALSE, the value is NULL. See APPLICATION_OBJECTS_ACCESSED array.
APPLICATION_PACKAGE_NAME	VARCHAR	The current name of the application package from which the application was installed. When IS_APPLICATION is FALSE, the value is NULL.
APPLICATION_VERSION	VARCHAR	The version of the application when the query occurred. When IS_APPLICATION is FALSE, the value is NULL
APPLICATION_PATCH_ID	INTEGER	The application patch number when the query occurred. When IS_APPLICATION is FALSE, the value is NULL.

Usage notes¶

Latency for the view may be up to 2 days.
The data is retained for 365 days (1 year).

APPLICATION_OBJECTS_ACCESSED array¶

The APPLICATION_OBJECTS_ACCESSED array provides details about the objects in a Native App accessed by a consumer query. The format of an item in the array depends on the type of object that was accessed.

Unlike the LISTING_OBJECTS_ACCESSED column array results, APPLICATION_OBJECTS_ACCESSED results containing object IDs are unavailable and database names are masked.

Aggregate view of access over time¶

An aggregate view of which functions, stored procedures, tables, views, and columns have been accessed (over a certain period) and the total number of times.

  lah.exchange_name,
  lah.listing_global_name,
  lah.share_name,
