Naming conventions for delta sharing

Hi All,

A question for those using Delta Sharing, how are you defining naming conventions for Shares and Recipient names? What best practices or standards are you following? Thanks, Fatima

For platform-to-platform environments, I nest all shared tables under a specially named Schema with a prefix of DS-. For example, my schema name could be ds-mfgschema. This is a 'flag' that any tables nested under this schema are being delta shared with others. Of course, you could do this same naming convention at the Catalog level as well (or even at the table level). But I find doing this convention at the schema level simple and effective.

Thanks Mark. I did not get you completely. Is the "ds-mfgschema" share name or schema name?
