-After the build succeeds, the ODBC DLL will be located in

+After building the repository you will find the built ODBC binaries in the build artifacts.

 ### Install `.RPM` on Ubuntu
 While installing via `.DEB` installer on Ubuntu is the recommended approach, users may install `.RPM` on Ubuntu using below command
 ```

 ## Known Limitations
 
 - Conversion from timestamp data type with specified time zone value to strings is not supported at the moment. This doesn't impact driver's usage of retrieving timestamp data from Power BI on Windows, and Excel on macOS and Windows. See GH-47504 for more context.
 - Conversion from strings to big int data type has a limit range of -9007199254740992 to 9007199254740992.
+- On Linux, `isql` commands `tables` and `columns` don’t work due to GH-49702. Users are not blocked from fetching data tables.
