It implements most dbt-core 1.12 features including incremental models with microbatch strategy, SQL and Python user-defined functions, snapshots, unit testing, and grants management. Some platform limitations exist: Python models, materialized views, and native zero-copy clones are not supported due to Exasol's architecture; microbatch concurrency runs sequentially because Exasol uses optimistic transaction-conflict detection at table granularity.\n\nThe adapter is marked production-ready and actively maintained. It depends on dbt-core, dbt-adapters, dbt-core-experimental-parser, protobuf, and pyexasol for connectivity. Installation is straightforward via pip, and configuration uses a standard dbt profiles.yml with Exasol connection parameters (DSN, user, password, schema). It supports Python 3.11\u20133.14 and Exasol versions 7.x, 8.x, and \u22652025.x.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you use Exasol as your warehouse and want dbt's transformation and testing framework. The adapter is production-ready, actively maintained, and covers most dbt-core 1.12 features. However, be aware of platform limitations: Python models, materialized views, and native zero-copy clones are not supported. The GPL-3.0-or-later license requires any derivative work to remain open-source, which may conflict with proprietary projects."},"id":"dbt-exasol","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-exasol","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-exasol.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dbt-exasol/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"dbt-exasol","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Adapter to dbt-core for warehouse Exasol"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2327731,"position":3136,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.12.0"}
