Adoption of Delta Sharing protocol takes aim at Snowflake
Oracle's adoption of Databricks’ Delta Sharing protocol is a major part of the updates to its Autonomous Data
Warehouse. The protocol was adopted, according to Oracle's Wheeler, to avoid vendor lock-ins for data sharing
and sort out issues such as security, version control and access management of data sets.
“With this open approach, customers can now securely share data with anyone using any application or service
that supports the protocol,” the company said in a statement.
Oracle’s decision to adopt the protocol could be primarily due to its popularity and to
counter Snowflake’s product offerings, analysts said.
