description	Use Exasol EXPORT SQL plus exapump local file export workflows for moving data out of Exasol. Covers native CSV/FBV export, local CSV/Parquet exports with exapump, connection objects, reject limits, and export credential patterns.

Exasol Export Skill

This skill covers only workflows that move data out of Exasol.

Step 0: Establish Connection

Ensure a working exapump profile before giving terminal workflows that use exapump export:

1. If the user mentions a specific profile name, test it with exapump sql --profile <name> "SELECT 1"; always place --profile after the subcommand.
2. Otherwise, test the default profile with exapump sql "SELECT 1".
3. If the check fails, run exapump profile list.
4. If profiles exist, ask which one to use and retry with exapump sql --profile <name> "SELECT 1"; keep --profile after the subcommand.
5. If a non-default profile is selected, include the same --profile <name> after the subcommand on subsequent exapump commands, such as exapump export --profile <name> --table <schema.table> --output <file> --format <format>.
6. If no profiles exist, tell the user to run exapump profile add default and retry.
7. Never read or reference the exapump configuration file.

Trigger when the user mentions EXPORT, EXPORT INTO, export table, export local file, exapump export, export CSV, export Parquet, export to S3, export to Azure Blob, export to GCS, export to FTP, export to SFTP, export to HTTP, export to HTTPS, REJECT LIMIT with export intent, or CREATE CONNECTION together with export target setup intent.

Routing Algorithm

1. Local files on the user machine

   • Trigger phrases: export local file, into local, to local, exapump export
   • Load: references/export.md

2. Remote or cloud files reachable by Exasol

   • Trigger phrases: EXPORT, EXPORT INTO, S3, Azure Blob, GCS, FTP, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, REJECT LIMIT, CREATE CONNECTION with export target setup intent
   • Load: references/export.md

3. Connection-object export setup

   • Trigger phrases: CREATE CONNECTION with export target setup intent, ALTER CONNECTION, temporary credentials, SESSION TOKEN
   • Load: references/export.md

4. Script-based export target

   • Trigger phrases: EXPORT INTO SCRIPT, export script, custom export script
   • Load: references/export.md

Notes

• Use this skill for direct data movement out of Exasol.
• Use exasol-import for native IMPORT, local upload workflows, Parquet import, reject handling, and staging-based loading into Exasol.
• Use exasol-extension-catalog when the user asks for connector, extension, or integration-based data transfer instead of direct native EXPORT or exapump export.
