A guide for connecting software to databases through Arrow Database Connectivity, or ADBC, a common interface for database drivers. It covers finding and installing the driver needed for a database.

Use it when connecting to a database, selecting an ADBC driver, installing that driver, or setting up reproducible database connection configuration.

It gives database work a repeatable setup path and checks whether a suitable driver exists. This avoids guessing which package or installation method is required.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace --skill adbc

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00027	$0.01010
Opus 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00404
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00202
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00101

Security

Grade A, and why

adbc scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Find a driver for a database

Use the dbc command line tool to find available drivers for a database. It's possible no driver may exist for the user's database of choice as not all databases have ADBC drivers.

Install dbc

If the user does not have dbc available, try to install it for them.

Prefer installing it with these commands, in order of preference, if the tool is available:

If uv is available: uv tool install dbc
If pipx is available: pipx install dbc
If brew is available: brew install columnar-tech/tap/dbc
On Windows, if winget is available: winget install dbc
Otherwise, direct the user to the installation docs: https://docs.columnar.tech/dbc/getting_started/installation/

Search for a driver

dbc search

Install a driver

Install a driver by running dbc install <DRIVER>. This is idempotent — if the driver is already installed, it is a no-op that simply reports the existing installation — so there is no need to check first before running it. Prefer to install drivers using dbc over installing driver packages from PyPI or Conda Forge.

For anything beyond a one-shot dbc install <DRIVER> — reproducible dbc.toml / dbc sync workflows, version pinning, or any other dbc subcommand — invoke the dbc skill rather than guessing at commands. In particular, note that there is no dbc list command.

Referring to drivers

Refer to drivers by their dbc short name and avoid specifying drivers with absolute paths.

Example: After running dbc install sqlite, refer to that driver as sqlite. For example:

from adbc_driver_manager import dbapi
dbapi.connect(driver="sqlite", db_kwargs={"uri": "foo.db"})

Don't use dbc info to find where drivers are installed and find their absolute paths on disk.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

adbc is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace (194 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,010 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
