This article will help you understand the process to accept an incoming or received data share of Azure SQL Database and integrate it with the desired data repository to start consuming it.

Introduction

In the previous article, Creating Azure Data Shares for Azure SQL Database, we learned how to create a new data share and configure datasets from scoped database objects and share it with recipients. This was the first part of the data sharing process and is typically done by data owners who initiate the process of sharing the data. On the other end, when the recipient receives the data shares, there are a set of steps that a consumer needs to perform to start consuming the data. Let’s go ahead and learn how to accept an incoming data share and start consuming it.

Consuming a received Azure Data Share

In the previous article, we learned how to create a new Azure Data Share instance. It is assumed that on the consumer or the recipient’s account as well, a data share account is already created, as it is required to consume the received data share. Once you open the dashboard of the data share account, it will look as shown below.
