In snowflake share Data Providers can share data with only the Data Consumer and does Snowflake charges additional fees to Data providers for each share they create?
Also is it possible that after sharing the Data Consumer can extend that data shared to them to other Data Consumers?
does Snowflake charges additional fees to Data providers for each share they create?
No, there is no additional charge. This is because, when you share data, no actual data is copied, so there is no additional storage required and therefore no associated additional cost. Even the process of creating the share and granting privileges for databases and other supported database objects (schemas, UDFs, tables, and views) to a share does not incur any direct cost since these are metadata operations and are thus part of Cloud Services. Snowflake credits are used to pay for the usage of the cloud services that exceeds 10% of the daily usage of the compute resources. Usage for cloud services is charged only if the daily consumption of cloud services exceeds 10% of the daily usage of the compute resources.
If data is shared outside the region where the Snowflake account is hosted then will be additional storage costs for replication.
is it possible that after sharing the Data Consumer can extend that data shared to them to other Data Consumers?
It is not possible to share a consumed share.
