-- 1- Create Schema
create schema if not exists customer_schema;

-- 2- Create buyer and credit_cards desk
CREATE TABLE customer_schema.credit_cards (
customer_id INT,
title TEXT,
is_fraud BOOLEAN,
credit_card TEXT
);


create desk customer_schema.buyer (
id INT,
first_name TEXT,
last_name TEXT,
electronic mail TEXT,
gender TEXT,
ssn TEXT
);

-- 3- Populate the tables with pattern knowledge
INSERT INTO customer_schema.credit_cards
VALUES

-- 7- Grant roles to above customers
GRANT ROLE customer_service_role TO Jack;
GRANT ROLE auditor_role TO Kim;
GRANT ROLE developer_role TO Mike;
GRANT ROLE datasteward_role TO Sarah;

Connect with provisioned cluster via Question Editor V2 and run the next SQL:

choose current_namespace; -- (Save as <producer_namespace>)

Repeat the above step for Redshift Serverless endpoint and get the namespace:

choose current_namespace; -- (Save as <consumer_namespace>

4. Connect with Redshift provisioned cluster and create an outbound knowledge share (producer) with the next SQL

-- Making a datashare

CREATE DATASHARE cust_share SET PUBLICACCESSIBLE TRUE;

-- Including schema to datashare

ALTER DATASHARE cust_share ADD SCHEMA customer_schema;

-- Including buyer desk to datshares. We are able to add all of the tables additionally if required

ALTER DATASHARE cust_share ADD TABLE customer_schema.credit_cards;

GRANT USAGE ON DATASHARE cust_share TO NAMESPACE '<consumer_namespace>'; -- (substitute with shopper namespace created in stipulations 4)

5. Connect with Redshift Serverless endpoint and execute the under statements to setup the inbound datashare.

CREATE DATABASE cust_db FROM DATASHARE cust_share OF NAMESPACE '< producer_namespace >'; -- (substitute with producer namespace created in stipulations 4)

6. Optionally, create the credit_cards desk as an exterior desk by utilizing this pattern file in Amazon S3 and including the desk to AWS Glue Information Catalog via Glue Crawler. As soon as the desk is offered in Glue Information Catalog, you possibly can create the exterior schema in your Amazon Redshift Serverless endpoint utilizing the under SQL

CREATE exterior SCHEMA satori_external

FROM knowledge catalog DATABASE 'satoriblog'

IAM_ROLE default

CREATE exterior DATABASE if not exists;

Confirm that the exterior desk credit_cards is offered out of your Redshift Serverless endpoint

choose * from satori_external.credit_cards ;

Connect with Amazon Redshift
