Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver

Windows applications can use the Apache Arrow Flight SQL ODBC Driver to connect to services that expose Apache Arrow Flight SQL through the standard ODBC interface. It supplies a system-level connectivity component for Windows software environments that already use ODBC, solving the gap between Flight SQL services and ODBC-based applications. The driver is intended for database connectivity rather than direct use as a desktop application.

Apache Arrow provides a language-independent columnar data format and a collection of tools for fast data interchange and in-memory analytics. This package brings the Flight SQL ODBC driver from the official Apache Arrow release to Windows, allowing ODBC clients and other compatible software to work with Flight SQL. Its focused package installs only the driver, not the complete Apache Arrow library or a general-purpose analytics program.

It suits developers, database administrators, and teams connecting Windows ODBC applications to Flight SQL environments. Chocolatey can manage the package by invoking the official installer silently, with commands available for upgrading or removing the installed package. The software runs on Windows, is published by Apache, and is open-source under the licensing provided with the official Apache Arrow release. The current version is 25.0.1.
