+# RECIPE STARTS HERE
+#: While the DB-API_ bindings are recommended for general use, the low-level
+#: bindings are also available.  These mostly mirror the ADBC C API directly.
+#: They can be useful to opt out of some behaviors of the DB-API wrapper.
+#:
+#: .. _DB-API: https://peps.python.org/pep-0249/
+
+import pyarrow
+
+import adbc_driver_manager
+import adbc_driver_sqlite
+
+#: The driver packages do still have conveniences to create the root
+#: :class:`AdbcDatabase <adbc_driver_manager.AdbcDatabase>` object.
+db: adbc_driver_manager.AdbcDatabase = adbc_driver_sqlite.connect()
+#: The database must then be wrapped in a :class:`AdbcConnection
+#: <adbc_driver_manager.AdbcConnection>`.  This is similar in scope to the
+#: DB-API :class:`Connection <adbc_driver_manager.dbapi.Connection>` class.
+conn = adbc_driver_manager.AdbcConnection(db)
+#: Finally, we can wrap the connection in a :class:`AdbcStatement
+#: <adbc_driver_manager.AdbcStatement>`, which corresponds roughly to the
+#: DB-API :class:`Cursor <adbc_driver_manager.dbapi.Cursor>` class.
+stmt = adbc_driver_manager.AdbcStatement(conn)
+
+#: Now we can directly set the query.  Unlike the regular DB-API bindings, this
+#: will not prepare the statement.  (Depending on the driver, this may or may
+#: not make a difference, especially if executing the same query multiple
+#: times.)
+stmt.set_sql_query("SELECT 1 AS THEANSWER")
+
+#: When we execute the query, we get an `Arrow C Stream Interface`_ handle
+#: (wrapped as a PyCapsule_) that we need to import using a library like
+#: PyArrow_.
+#:
+#: .. _Arrow C Stream Interface:
+#:    https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CStreamInterface.html
+#: .. _PyArrow: https://pypi.org/project/pyarrow/
+#: .. _PyCapsule: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/capsule.html
+handle, rowcount = stmt.execute_query()
+#: The SQLite driver does not know the row count of the result set up front
+#: (other drivers, like the PostgreSQL driver, may know).
+assert rowcount == -1
+#: We can use the PyArrow APIs to read the result.
+reader = pyarrow.RecordBatchReader._import_from_c_capsule(handle.__arrow_c_stream__())
+assert reader.schema == pyarrow.schema([("THEANSWER", "int64")])
+#: Finally, we have to clean up all the objects.  (They also support the
+#: context manager protocol.)

+#: The DBAPI bindings prepare all statements before execution, because of this
+#: part of the `DB-API specification`_:
+#:
+#:     A reference to the operation will be retained by the cursor. If the same
+#:     operation object is passed in again, then the cursor can optimize its
+#:     behavior.
+#:
+#: However, you may want to prepare the statement yourself, mostly because this
+#: will give you the schema of the parameters (if supported by the server).
+#: This can be done with :meth:`Cursor.adbc_prepare
+#: <adbc_driver_manager.dbapi.Cursor.adbc_prepare>`.
+#:
+#: We'll demo this with the SQLite driver, though other drivers also support
+#: this.
