Exasol is designed to run in memory, although data is persistently stored on disk following the ACID rules. Exasol supports the SQL Standard 2003 via interfaces like ODBC, JDBC or ADO.NET. A software development kit (SDK) is provided for native integration. For online analytical processing (OLAP) applications, the Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) extension of SQL is supported via OLE DB for OLAP and XML for Analysis.
