Description

Due to an update of a third-party library in Exasol’s v24.0.0 JDBC driver, previous Exasol database versions may not be able to use the latest Exasol JDBC drivers (v24.0.0+) by default for IMPORT and EXPORT statements.

An affected IMPORT/EXPORT statement will fail with the following exception: java.security.AccessControlException.

Workaround

As a workaround, you could disable the security manager for the Exasol JDBC driver (not recommended). For more information, see Add JDBC Drivers.

Fix

The Java security manager’s policy has been updated to reflect the necessary permissions required for the latest Exasol JDBC drivers (v24.0.0+) . IMPORT and EXPORT statements using Exasol’s latest JDBC drivers will work by default, as expected.
