Install Node.js (version 22 or later)

• Alternatively, you can use Bun or Deno

Install dbc

Start Exasol in a Docker container (documentation):

docker run \
   -p 127.0.0.1:9563:8563 \
   --name exasol \
   --privileged \
   --detach \
   exasol/docker-db:latest-2025.1

Create a table in Exasol and load data into it:

docker cp games.sql exasol:/tmp/games.sql
docker cp load-data.sh exasol:/tmp/load-data.sh
docker exec exasol bash /tmp/load-data.sh

Install the Exasol ADBC driver:

dbc install exasol

Install dependencies:

npm --prefix .. install

Customize the script main.js as needed

• Change the connection arguments in databaseOptions
  • Change uri as needed, using query parameters to add more connection arguments, or keep it as is to use the data included with this example
• If you changed which schema you're opening, also change the SQL SELECT statement in conn.query()

Run the script:

Node.js:

node main.js

Bun:

bun run main.js

Deno:

deno run --allow-ffi --allow-env main.js

Stop the Docker container running Exasol:

docker stop exasol
docker rm exasol
