# Delta Sharing — Databricks‑to‑Databricks Protocol

The **Databricks‑to‑Databricks Delta Sharing protocol** enables seamless sharing of datasets between Nexalis and your own Databricks workspace.

Nexalis uses **zero-copy sharing** at the lakehouse layer, so recipients query the same shared data reality without creating duplicate storage copies in their workspace.

***

## Recipient Sharing Identifier

To configure Delta Sharing, you need to provide Nexalis with your **recipient sharing identifier**.\
This identifier is unique to your Databricks workspace and has the format:

```text theme={null}
<cloud>:<region>:<recipient-UUID>

# Example:
aws:us-east-1:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
```

***

## How to find your identifier

1. In your Databricks workspace, click **Catalog**.
2. At the top of the Catalog pane, click the **Gear icon** and select **Delta Sharing** (Alternatively, from the **Quick access** page, click **Delta Sharing >**).
3. On the **Shared with me** tab, click your Databricks sharing organization name in the upper right.
4. Select **Copy sharing identifier**.

Once obtained, send this identifier to your **Nexalis account manager** or support contact so Nexalis can configure sharing for your environment.

⚠️ **Recommendation:** To avoid egress costs, use the **same region** as the Nexalis Databricks environment.

***

## After setup

After Nexalis completes the configuration, you will see the shared tables directly in your Databricks workspace:

* `nexalis_<org_name>_analog_Xminavg`
* `nexalis_<org_name>_discrete`

You can query these tables directly from your Databricks workspace as shared data products, with no ingestion pipeline required on the recipient side.
