Load data from external sources

Learn about how you can connect Exasol to external sources to import and export data.

Exasol enables you to load data using the IMPORT and EXPORT statements and combine that with further post-processing using subselects. You can specify a statement instead of a table name for the external data source that is executed on that system, for example, to load a certain part of a table into Exasol.

You can integrate any database with Exasol as long as the external source supports a JDBC interface. You must upload the corresponding JDBC driver to Exasol and then use the generic JDBC interface for IMPORT and EXPORT.
