Description

This is related to the overall implementation of Lake Formation (https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/issues/9700).

https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/issues/14411 must also be implemented in order for Glue databases to be shareable with Lake Formation.

The TargetDatabase and TargetTable properties of Glue Data Catalog databases and tables are used for setting up Resource Links, which is required to be able to surface cross-account shared tables in Athena and Redshift Spectrum.

It's possible there's also a specific TableType associated with this.

New or Affected Resource(s)

aws_glue_catalog_table
aws_glue_catalog_database

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_glue_catalog_database" "example" {
  name = "my-database"

  target_database {
    catalog_id    = "1234567890"
    database_name = "external-database"
  }
}

resource "aws_glue_catalog_table" "example" {
  name          = "my-table"
  database_name = aws_glue_catalog_database.example.name

  target_table {
    catalog_id    = "1234567890"
    database_name = "external-database"
    name          = "external-table"
  }
}
