Hi Everyone, I’m trying to look around to see if delta sharing will support views in future. I know it doesn’t currently, but is there a plan to support view sharing?

I do not think so as a view requires some processing whereas Delta Sharing currently only returns already persisted data which does not require any processing anymore

Thanks @Gerhard Brueckl Just looking for some confirmation to see if it is even in the roadmap.

Delta sharing is for sharing delta tables. A view is not a delta table.

@JosephK (exDatabricks) Actually we sometimes want to share data with PII masking, and it would be great to be able to share using a view or to do some simple processing of the columns when sharing.

A view is a query and does not consist of any data files. You can just make a new delta table and share that.
