+Currently, the following database types are supported:
 ^ Database type  ^ Driver type  ^
-| SQL Server   | Native  ^
+| BigQuery     | ODBC  |
-| Postgres     | Native  ^
+| Microsoft SQL Server   | Native  |
-| Snowflake    | Native / ODBC  ^
+| Oracle (experimental) | Native  |
-| BigQuery     | ODBC  ^
+| PostgreSQL     | Native  |
+| Snowflake    | Native / ODBC  |
