Script Language Flavors are configurations of languages and libraries to be available in Script Languages for the Exasol database. We use a graph of Dockerfiles and other configuration files to describe a flavor. Exaslct uses these files to build the container.
Currently, we provide
- the
standardflavors: These flavors include three language implementations: Java, Python, and R and a collection of typical libraries - the
templateflavors: These flavors include a certain language with only absolute necessary packages. This allows very simple customization because you control almost all dependencies.
From the standard-EXASOL flavors, we built the built-in containers which we deliver with each Exasol Version. They provide the languages Java, Python 3 and R. Each of them installs a set of typical packages for the particular language.
We provide one flavor, which includes all supported languages and can be used in all currently active Exasol versions. It is used as built-in container for Exasol versions before the 2025.1 release.

Some flavors or Languages provide additional features.
All flavors which support Python3 as a language now have direct DataFrame support for accessing and emitting data in Exasol. Please see the documentation for more information and example usage.
Script language flavors for different purposes come in different versions that are reflected by their name. The naming convention is like this:
<flavor-name>-EXASOL-<minimum-Exasol-Version>
This allows us to provide new versions of a flavor when new features become available in Exasol that are not supported in older flavors.
So, in order to find the correct version of a flavor for your version of Exasol, simply take the latest container with version less than or equal to your Exasol version. So for Exasol 6.2.13, you would use the *-EXASOL-6.2.0 flavors.
For the CUDA-based flavors we recommend to use the CUDA LTS Driver version 580. Depending on the used CUDA-Toolkit version you might need to install the CUDA compatibility package (cuda-compat). Check the concrete flavor description for details.
