Snowflake Data Share #260

Open abdulrabbani00 opened 2 weeks ago

abdulrabbani00 commented 2 weeks ago

Have you guys considered having a snowflake data share instead of an API. This would save developers a lot of time by being able to access the database records directly instead of hitting the API.

If you're not using snowflake perhaps a plan to share a database dump? This would save me days of work importing data to my share instead of having to grab it from the DB.

Open to other solutions, thank you.

Thanks for your questions. This is not something we have considered.

I am also happy to help in any capacity. Getting all the data from your API and creating relationships is definitely doable on our end, but it might just save everyone a lot of time by just dumping the data and having the caller pay for querying/copying it.
