Description
Exasol would be a natural addition to the reader list. Exasol is an MPP analytical database with strong overlap with the R/Posit analyst user base and fits ggsql's SQL-first model naturally. I'm on Exasol's AI & Integrations team and can drive this PR if the maintainers are open to it. The approach would be an ExasolDialect mirroring src/reader/snowflake.rs, plus a driver=exasol branch in detect_dialect(). The generic OdbcReader handles the rest, and Exasol ships a mature ODBC driver. Is this team comfortable with me making a PR for the proposed approach?

Research direction
Start by reading src/reader/snowflake.rs, then trace detect_dialect() and the generic OdbcReader path. The proposed work is complete when an ExasolDialect and driver=exasol branch provide Exasol connections through ODBC; confirm the approach with maintainers before starting.
