True or False: A share can't be cloned by a consumer account, but the share data CAN be copied into a table?

True
False
Only under certain conditions
Not applicable

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because in Snowflake, while a share is used to provide access to data between accounts, it is not possible for a consumer account to clone the share itself. Cloning typically creates a new object in the same or different account based on the original object without moving the data, but sharing mechanisms work differently, focusing on granting access rather than creating identical copies of the shared structures. However, the data that is made accessible through the share can indeed be copied into a table. This means that while the share remains a reference point for access control, the actual data contained within the shared tables can be imported or loaded into the consumer account's own tables. This functionality allows users to manipulate or query the data independently while still acknowledging the limitations regarding the sharing configuration itself. Thus, the combination of these functionalities supports the assertion that while cloning a share is not an option, copying the data into a new table is entirely feasible.
