An updated version of the ODBC driver for BigQuery is now available

## Change Change An updated version of the[ODBC driver for BigQuery](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/odbc-jdbc-drivers#current%5Fodbc%5Fdriver)is now available. ## Feature Feature You can now enable[autonomous embedding generation](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/autonomous-embedding-generation)on tables that you make with the[CREATE TABLE statement](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-definition-language#create%5Ftable%5Fstatement). When you do this, BigQuery maintains a column of embeddings on the table based on a source column. When you add or modify data in the source column, BigQuery automatically generates or updates the embedding column for that data. You can also use the[AI.SEARCH](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/bigqueryml-syntax-ai-search)function, enabling semantic search on tables that have autonomous embedding generation enabled. These features are in[Preview](https://cloud.google.com/products/#product-launch-stages).
