Finding Drivers

You can list the available drivers by running dbc search:

$ dbc search
• bigquery - An ADBC driver for Google BigQuery developed by the ADBC Driver Foundry
• duckdb - An ADBC driver for DuckDB developed by the DuckDB Foundation
• flightsql - An ADBC driver for Apache Arrow Flight SQL developed under the Apache Software Foundation
• mssql - An ADBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server developed by Columnar
• mysql - An ADBC Driver for MySQL developed by the ADBC Driver Foundry
• postgresql - An ADBC driver for PostgreSQL developed under the Apache Software Foundation
• redshift - An ADBC driver for Amazon Redshift developed by Columnar
• snowflake - An ADBC driver for Snowflake developed under the Apache Software Foundation
• sqlite - An ADBC driver for SQLite developed under the Apache Software Foundation

Finding a Specific Driver

You can filter the list of drivers by a pattern. The pattern is treated as a regular expression using Go's regexp/syntax syntax and is tested against both the name and the description of the driver.

For example, you can find drivers with 'sql' in their name by running,

$ dbc search sql
• flightsql - An ADBC driver for Apache Arrow Flight SQL developed under the Apache Software Foundation
• mssql - An ADBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server developed by Columnar
• mysql - An ADBC Driver for MySQL developed by the ADBC Driver Foundry
• postgresql - An ADBC driver for PostgreSQL developed under the Apache Software Foundation
• sqlite - An ADBC driver for SQLite developed under the Apache Software Foundation

Options

Verbose

You can use the --verbose flag to show detailed information about each driver, including all versions that are available and which are installed.
