In this section, we provide guides and references to use the Exasol connector. Configure and schedule Exasol metadata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

​
Requirements

​
Python Requirements

We have support for Python versions 3.9-3.11
To run the Exasol ingestion, you will need to install: 
pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[Exasol]"

​
Database Privilege Requirements

To ingest basic metadata, an Exasol user must have the following privileges:
  • USAGE privilege on Schema
  • SELECT privilege on Tables
OpenMetadata fetches the query logs for the lineage workflow by querying EXA_STATISTICS.EXA_DBA_AUDIT_SQL table. For this, an Exasol user should be granted the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY system privilege.

​
Metadata Ingestion

​
1. Define the YAML Config

​
2. Run with the CLI

First, we will need to save the YAML file. Afterward, and with all requirements installed, we can run: 
metadata ingest -c <path-to-yaml>
Note that from connector to connector, this recipe will always be the same. By updating the YAML configuration, you will be able to extract metadata from different sources.
