Driver Registry

dbc installs drivers from a "driver registry" which is an internet-accessible index of installable ADBC driver packages.

By default, dbc is configured to communicate with two driver registries: the public ADBC driver registry, which is affiliated with the ADBC Driver Foundry and hosted by Columnar, and Columnar's private driver registry. Most drivers will be from the public registry but some will be marked with a [private] label which means they're from the private registry. See Private Drivers for information on how to install and use private drivers.

• Public: https://dbc-cdn.columnar.tech
• Private: https://dbc-cdn-private.columnar.tech

Note

If you access these registries without dbc, please set a user agent. See Can I download drivers directly from the driver registries?.

When you run a command like dbc search or dbc install, dbc gets information about the drivers that are available from each configured registry by downloading its index.yaml or using a cached copy.

For Go library configuration and explicit registry overrides, see Go Library.
