Working with Exasol from the command line just got simpler.

You can now connect to Exasol and run SQL directly from your terminal using a new ADBC-native CLI integration.

Why it matters:  
• Use a single CLI across Exasol and other data systems  
• Automate queries in scripts and workflows  
• Experiment and prototype without adding another tool to your stack  
Getting started takes three commands:

```auto
dbc install exasol
uv tool install databow
databow --driver exasol --uri "exasol:/..." --query "select 1"

```

The Exasol driver behind this integration is part of Exasol Labs and is called exarrow-rs. Exasol Labs is where we test new developer tooling and integrations that make it easier to work with Exasol.

Bringing Exasol closer to where developers already work – the terminal – is another step towards making high-performance analytics more open, flexible, and fun to build with.
