 # ODBC driver
 
-Use the [official ODBC driver](https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-odbc) for accessing ClickHouse as a data source.
+The ClickHouse ODBC driver provides a standards-compliant interface for connecting ODBC-compatible applications to
+ClickHouse. It implements the ODBC API and enables applications, BI tools, and scripting environments to execute SQL
+queries, retrieve results, and interact with ClickHouse through familiar mechanisms.
+
+The driver communicates with the ClickHouse server using the [HTTP protocol](/interfaces/http), which is the primary
+protocol supported across all ClickHouse deployments. This allows the driver to operate consistently in diverse
+environments, including local installations, cloud-managed services, and environments where only HTTP-based access is
+available.
+
+The source code of the driver is available in the [ClickHouse-ODBC GitHub Repository](
+https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-odbc).
+
+:::tip
+For better compatibility we strongly recommend to update your ClickHouse server to version 24.11 or later.
+:::
+
+:::note
+This driver is under active development. Some ODBC features may not yet be fully implemented. The current version
+focuses on providing essential connectivity and core ODBC functionality, with additional features planned for future
+releases.
+
+Your feedback is highly valuable and helps guide the prioritization of new features and improvements. If you encounter
+limitations, missing functionality, or unexpected behavior, please share your observations or feature requests through
+the issue tracker at https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-odbc/issues
+:::
+
+## Installation on Windows {#installation-on-windows}
+You can find the latest version of the driver at https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-odbc/releases/latest. 
+From there you can download and execute the MSI installer and follow simple installation steps.
+
+## Testing {#testing}
+
+You can test the driver by running this simple PowerShell script. Copy the text below, set your URL, user, password and
+paste the text into your PowerShell command prompt — after running $reader.GetValue(0)it should show your ClickHouse
+server version.
+
+```powershell
+$url = "http://127.0.0.1:8123/"
+$user = "default"
+$password = ""
+$conn = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection("`
+    Driver={ClickHouse ODBC Driver (Unicode)};`
+    Url=$url;`
+    Username=$username;`
+    Password=$password")
+$conn.Open()
+$cmd = $conn.CreateCommand()
+$cmd.CommandText = "select version()"
+$reader = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
+$reader.Read()
+$reader.GetValue(0)
+$reader.Close()
+$conn.Close()
+```
+
+## Configuration parameters {#configuration-parameters}
+
+The parameters below represent the most commonly used settings for establishing a connection with the ClickHouse ODBC
+driver. They cover essential authentication, connection behavior, and data-handling options. A full list of supported
+parameters is available in the project’s GitHub page https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-odbc.
+
+- `Url`: Specifies the full HTTP(S) endpoint of the ClickHouse server. This includes the protocol, host, port, and
+  optional path.
+- `Username`: The username used for authentication with the ClickHouse server.
+- `Password`: The password associated with the specified username. If not provided, the driver connects without password
+  authentication.
+- `Database`: The default database to use for the connection.
+- `Timeout`: The maximum time (in seconds) the driver waits for a server response before aborting the request.
+- `ClientName`: A custom identifier sent to the ClickHouse server as part of the client metadata. Useful for tracing or
+  distinguishing traffic from different applications. This parameter will be a part of the User-Agent header in the HTTP
+  requests produced by the driver.
+- `Compression`: Enables or disables HTTP compression for request and response payloads. When enabled, it can reduce
+  bandwidth usage and improve performance for large result sets.
+
+Here are some examples of the full connection string passed to the driver to setup a connection.
+
+- A ClickHouse server locally installed on WSL instance
+```plaintext
+Driver={ClickHouse ODBC Driver (Unicode)};Url=http://localhost:8123//;Username=default
+```
+- A ClickHouse Cloud instance.
+```plaintext
+Driver={ClickHouse ODBC Driver (Unicode)};Url=https://you-instance-url.gcp.clickhouse.cloud:8443/;Username=default;Password=your-password
+```
+
+## Microsoft Power BI Integration {#powerbi-Integration}
+You can use the ODBC driver to connect Microsoft Power BI to a ClickHouse server. Power BI provides two connection
+options: the generic ODBC connector and the ClickHouse connector, both included in standard Power BI installations.
+
+Both connectors rely on ODBC internally, but they differ in capabilities:
+
+- ClickHouse Connector (recommended)
+  Uses ODBC under the hood but supports DirectQuery mode. In this mode, Power BI automatically generates SQL queries and
+  retrieves only the data required for each visualization or filter operation.
+
+- ODBC Connector
+  Supports only Import mode. Power BI executes the user-provided query (or selects the entire table) and imports the
+  full result set into Power BI. Subsequent refreshes re-import the entire dataset.
+
+Choose the connector based on your use case: DirectQuery for interactive dashboards with large datasets, or Import mode
+when you need full local copies of the data.
+
+For more information on integrating Microsoft Power BI with ClickHouse, see the [ClickHouse documentation page on Power
+BI integration](http://localhost:3000/docs/integrations/powerbi).
