Live Share Data Provider
The following are limitations for using the Data Share tool as a Data Share provider:
  1. A live share data provider can create shares with a maximum of four objects.
  2. If the live share data provider is sharing multiple tables which would normally be joined together, it is recommended that the producer create a view that performs the joins and then only shares the view.
