+
+ODBC connection parameters can be set in a connection string or defined in a DSN inside your system's odbc.ini.
+
+The following sample connection string and sample DSN are two equivalent ways to connect to Arrow.
+
+### Sample Connection String
+```
+"driver={Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver};HOST=1234.56.789;port=12345;uid=sample_user;pwd=sample_password;useEncryption=false;useWideChar=true;"

+Driver        = Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver
+Host          = 1234.56.789
+Port          = 12345
+UID           = sample_user
+PWD           = sample_password
+useEncryption = false
+useWideChar   = true
+```
+
+### Driver Connection Options
+| Option | Description | Default |

+| `dsn` | Data Source Name used for configuring the connection. | `NONE`

Review Comment:
   Yes these are all aliases for the same thing.

+1. Open your system terminal. On Windows this should be Power Shell in administrator mode.
+

+      ./cpp/src/arrow/flight/sql/odbc/install/unix/install_odbc.sh <path/to/arrow>/cpp/build/release/libarrow_flight_sql_odbc.dylib

Review Comment:
   `install_odbc.sh` exits unless run as root (it prints "Please run this script with sudo"). The macOS command example should include `sudo` so the instructions work as written.

Review Comment:
   These build output paths (`build/...`) are inconsistent with the later install command examples (which reference `<path>/cpp/build/...`). Please make the paths consistent so users can locate the built driver binary reliably.

Review Comment:
   The documented default for `useEncryption` does not match the driver behavior: `LoadFlightSslConfigs` falls back to `true` when the property is absent, regardless of platform. The default should be documented accordingly (or the docs should explain any platform-specific override if intended).
   ```suggestion
   | `useEncryption` | Setting to determine if an SSL-encrypted connection should be used. | `true`
   ```

+# Connection Properties on Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver
+
+## Setting ODBC Connection Properties
+
+ODBC connection parameters can be set in a connection string or defined in a DSN inside your system's odbc.ini.
+
+The following sample connection string and sample DSN are two equivalent ways to connect to Arrow.
+
+### Sample Connection String

Review Comment:
   The documented default for `useSystemTrustStore` appears incorrect on non-Windows platforms. In `LoadFlightSslConfigs`, the fallback is `true` on Windows but `false` elsewhere (`SYSTEM_TRUST_STORE_DEFAULT`). Please align the documented default with the actual behavior.

Review Comment:
   This text says the driver will be visible in the system `odbc.ini`, but the unix install script registers the driver in `odbcinst.ini` (Linux: `/etc/odbcinst.ini`, macOS: `$HOME/Library/ODBC/odbcinst.ini`). Please update the referenced file name/location so users know where to look.

Review Comment:
   The sample connection string uses `HOST=1234.56.789`, which is not a valid IP address and could confuse users when copy/pasting. Consider using `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, or a clearly non-IP placeholder like `example.com`.

   The DSN example uses `Host = 1234.56.789`, which is not a valid IP address. Consider using `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, or `example.com` so the example is copy/paste-friendly.

Review Comment:
   The markdown table formatting is broken here (missing closing `|` on the `driver` row, and inconsistent trailing pipes). Also, the default driver name appears truncated; it should match the actual registered driver name ("Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver").

Review Comment:
   `install_odbc.sh` exits unless run as root (it prints "Please run this script with sudo"). The Linux command example should include `sudo` so the instructions work as written.
   ```suggestion
         sudo ./cpp/src/arrow/flight/sql/odbc/install/unix/install_odbc.sh <path/to/repo>/cpp/build/< release | debug >/libarrow_flight_sql_odbc.so

+ODBC connection parameters can be set in a connection string or defined in a DSN inside your system's odbc.ini.
+
+The following sample connection string and sample DSN are two equivalent ways to connect to Arrow.
+
+### Sample Connection String

+
+### Driver Connection Options

Review Comment:
   It may be worth describing why/when you would change these last three parameters?

   It is case insensitive so it does not matter but I changed it to lowercase for consistency's sake.

Review Comment:
   The sample connection string is shown wrapped in double quotes, which can be mistaken as part of the literal connection string when copy/pasting into tools like `isql`/Power BI/Excel (most examples in this repo omit the surrounding quotes). Consider removing the outer quotes, or explicitly stating they’re only present to show a string literal.

+
+The following sample connection string and sample DSN are two equivalent ways to connect to Arrow.
+

Review Comment:
   The text claims the sample connection string and sample DSN are equivalent, but the driver does not currently load all listed options from DSNs. `Configuration::LoadDsn` only reads host/port/token/uid/pwd/trustedCerts and the TLS booleans; keys like `user`/`password`, `useWideChar`, `stringColumnLength`, and `chunkBufferCapacity` won’t be picked up when set in `odbc.ini` (they’re treated as known keys and filtered out). Please either (a) update this document to clearly distinguish which properties are supported via DSN vs connection string, or (b) extend DSN loading to read the additional known keys.

+- On Linux, `isql` commands `tables` and `columns` don't work due to GH-49702. Users are not blocked from fetching data tables.

Review Comment:
   Minor wording: “Users are not blocked from fetching data tables” reads awkwardly/unclear (it’s not obvious whether this means fetching table *metadata* or querying table *data*). Consider rephrasing to something like users can still query data despite `isql` metadata commands failing.

   After merging your PR, Conbench analyzed the 4 benchmarking runs that have been run so far on merge-commit 603eeec8f6d75fa3d029be0aefbf1405a0dde69b.
   
   There were no benchmark performance regressions. 🎉
   
   The [full Conbench report](https://github.com/apache/arrow/runs/76926874894) has more details. It also includes information about 15 possible false positives for unstable benchmarks that are known to sometimes produce them.

+# Connection Properties on Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver

+## Setting ODBC Connection Properties
+
+ODBC connection parameters can be set in a connection string or defined in a DSN inside your system's odbc.ini.

Review Comment:
   This implies DSNs are defined in the system's `odbc.ini`, but on Windows DSNs are typically stored via the ODBC Data Source Administrator (registry), not `odbc.ini`. Consider rephrasing to clarify the OS-specific location (e.g., `odbc.ini` on macOS/Linux vs ODBC Data Source Administrator/registry on Windows), or scope this document explicitly to Unix-like systems.

+# Connection Properties on Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver
+
+## Setting ODBC Connection Properties
+
+ODBC connection parameters can be set in a connection string or defined in a DSN inside your system's odbc.ini.
+
+The following sample connection string and sample DSN are two equivalent ways to connect to Arrow.
+
+### Sample Connection String
+```
+"driver={Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver};host=127.0.0.1;port=12345;uid=sample_user;pwd=sample_password;useEncryption=false;useWideChar=true;"
+```
+
+### Sample DSN
+```
+[Apache Arrow Flight SQL]
+driver        = Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver
+host          = 127.0.0.1
+port          = 12345
+uid           = sample_user
+pwd           = sample_password
+useEncryption = false
+useWideChar   = true
+```
+
+### Driver Connection Options
+| Option | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------------|
+| `driver` | Required: the driver for this ODBC driver. | Apache Arrow Flight SQL |

Review Comment:
   In the connection options table, the default/expected value for `driver` is listed as "Apache Arrow Flight SQL", but the sample connection string/DSN and registration scripts use "Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver" as the driver name. Please update the default/required value (and ideally format it consistently) so users copy the correct installed driver name.
