Abstract: A data platform for managing an application as a first-class database object. The data object can include User Interface (UI) components. The data application can be shared by a provider account to a plurality of consumer accounts using a share object and based on grant commands. The consumer accounts can deploy and operate the UI component based on the share object.

Abstract: A data platform grants privileges to applications accessing resources of the data platform in a secure and efficient way. The data platform determines whether a privilege has been granted to an application and, if not, generates a validation of the request to grant the privilege using a manifest of the application. The data platform generates a grant privilege request user interface, presents the grant privilege user interface to a consumer of the data platform, receives a privilege grant authorization from the consumer, and grants the privilege to the application. The granted privilege is then used by the application to access the resource.

Abstract: An application package and application instance for a data platform. The application is created in a consumer account of a consumer using the application package. The consumer grants permissions for performing privileged actions in the consumer account to an application role of the application. The application creates objects in the application, creates objects outside of the application in the consumer account, and accesses external systems using permissions granted by the consumer.

Abstract: Methodologies for upgrading and patching an in-database application package and its application instances. A data platform determines a number of objects of an application instance running on the data platform at a previous version level of an application package of the application instance. In response to determining the number of objects of the application package running on the data platform at the previous version level of the application package is one or more, the data platform continues determining the number of objects running on the data platform at a previous version level of the application package. In response to determining the number of objects of the application instance running on the data platform at the previous version level of the application package is none, the data platform upgrades the application instance to the new version of the application package.

Abstract: An in-database application package and application instance for a data platform. The data platform creates an application instance of an application package having a versioned schema, creates one or more system roles for the application instance, creates a user role and an administrator role for the application instance, creates one or more objects of the application instance based on a versioned schema, and grants one or more use privileges to the one or more roles. Application instances of the application package are upgraded or patched on the data platform based on application package versions. To ensure a proper upgrade or patch, the data platform tracks versions of executing objects of application instances in a call context.
