How to transfer ownership of a database and/or table?

We created a new Service Principal (SP) on Azure and would like to transfer the ownership of the databases and tables created with the old SP. The issue is that these databases and tables are not visible to the users using the new SP.

I am using a Hive Metastore (instead of Unity).

Btw, the `ALTER SCHEMA foo SET OWNER TO bar` statement does not work from a notebook.

 @pgrandjean - Kindly enable Table access control on the cluster for the hive metastore using the below config to the cluster - Advanced options -  spark 

spark.databricks.hive.metastoreTableAccessControl.enabled true

 and run the below command to check the ownership. say for example 

show grant on schema <schema-name>

Thank you @shan_chandra . I added the option, however I am getting the following exception when trying to execute the "show grant" statement. Here is the stack trace:

Regarding the [PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR] Syntax error at or near 'OWNER'.

Remember to wrap the new owner name in the SQL statement with the Grave Accent (`) as the below sample.

 

ALTER SCHEMA schema_name OWNER TO `new_oner_name`;
