Reader Account

A Snowflake account created and paid for by a data provider so consumers without their own Snowflake account can query shared data.

Definition

Reader accounts are read-only for shared data, and the provider pays their compute. They suit sharing with partners who aren't Snowflake customers.

Exam tip

Consumer has no Snowflake account = reader account, with the provider paying the compute.
