Parameter Description
sharing_id_type The type of sharing ID.

Usage

The flow is as follows:

  1. The recipient calls DBMS_SHARE.GET_SHARING_ID to get a unique identifier.

The sharing_id_type parameter is used to specify which database users can access the share following the above sequence.

  • DATABASE The share will be visible to any admin user in the database where GET_SHARING_ID was called.
  • COMPARTMENT The share will be visible to any admin user in any database in the same compartment where GET_SHARING_ID was called.
