Sharing to external Iceberg clients
Public previewLets providers share Delta tables, managed and foreign Iceberg tables, views, materialized views and streaming tables with external Iceberg clients such as Snowflake, Trino, Flink and Spark through the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog API. Clients read shared Delta tables with zero-copy access, and since 2026-06-15 recipients can authenticate with OIDC federation. Sharing managed Iceberg tables (2026-08-14) and foreign Iceberg tables (2026-09-11) with Iceberg clients is generally available, but no release note has yet announced the feature as a whole generally available.
