Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting November 1, 2025. If you would like to use Python UDFs, create the UDFs prior to that date. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function as normal. For more information, see the blog post .

Viewing a datashare in Amazon Redshift

You can view datashares from the console or with SQL.

Console

You can view datashares from the Datashares or Clusters tab.

  • Use the Datashares tab to list datashares in your account or from other accounts.

    • To view datashares created in your account, choose In my account, then choose the datashare you want to view.

    • To view datashares that are shared from other accounts, choose From other accounts, then choose the datashare you want to view.

  • Use the Clusters tab to list datashares in your cluster or from other clusters.

    First, connect to a database. Then, choose a datashare either from the Datashares from other clusters or Datashares created in my cluster section to view its details.

SQL

You can list datashares created in the cluster and look into the contents of the datashare.

The following example displays the information of a datashare named salesshare. 

DESC DATASHARE salesshare;

The following example displays the outbound datashares in a producer cluster.

SHOW DATASHARES LIKE 'sales%';

The output looks similar to the following.

share_name | share_owner  | source_database | consumer_database | share_type |     createdate      | is_publicaccessible  | share_acl | producer_account |          producer_namespace

For more information, see DESC DATASHARE and SHOW DATASHARES.

You can also use SVV_DATASHARES, SVV_DATASHARE_CONSUMERS, and SVV_DATASHARE_OBJECTS to view the datashares, the objects within the datashare, and the datashare consumers.
