Versions:
The Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver 0.9.7.1195, released by Dremio Corporation, is a connectivity component that enables Windows and Linux applications to reach any database or analytical engine that publishes an Apache Arrow Flight SQL endpoint. Built around the co-created, column-oriented Arrow Flight SQL protocol, the driver translates standard ODBC calls into the high-throughput, parallel streaming format that Arrow Flight defines, eliminating the row-by-row overhead typical of legacy ODBC bridges. Analysts can therefore embed the driver in BI clients such as Power BI, Tableau, or Excel and query Dremio’s data lakehouse directly; developers can reference it from Python, R, or C++ code to pull large result sets into machine-learning pipelines; and administrators can schedule ETL jobs that stream millions of records from Arrow-enabled warehouses into downstream systems without interim CSV or JDBC steps. Because the protocol preserves Arrow’s memory-compatible columnar layout, data arrives ready for vectorized processing, cutting both latency and CPU load compared with conventional ODBC-to-JDBC gateways. The 0.9.7.1195 build ships as a single, signed MSI on Windows and as an RPM or DEB on Linux, exposing the familiar ODBC configuration dialog so existing DSN entries continue to work once the endpoint URL is updated. No server-side changes are required beyond enabling Flight SQL on the target catalog or engine, making the upgrade path reversible and non-disruptive. The driver is cataloged under Database Connectivity on get.nero.com, where it is offered free of charge; downloads are served through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, guaranteeing that the latest version is always delivered and can be installed individually or in batch alongside other applications.
