New ODBC driver now available for Amazon Athena

Today, [Amazon Athena](https://aws.amazon.com/athena/) released a new ODBC driver that improves the experience of connecting to, querying, and visualizing data from your favorite SQL development and business intelligence applications. The new version of Athena’s ODBC driver supports the features of the existing driver, is simple to upgrade, and includes new features such as support for authenticating users through [AWS IAM Identity Center](https://aws.amazon.com/iam/identity-center/) and the option to read query results from Amazon S3, which may make query results available to you sooner.
