Adding extra information for the better understanding of connection string which is used for the backend of Superset. Based on this [Issue](apache#29979) People are finding difficulties in understanding the connection string, The `SQLAlchemy` documentation clearly talks about this URL encoded connection string, but users of superset not required to read / understand the concept of `SQLAlchemy` so adding this extra information may help them.

But that issue looks unrelated. Could you have meant to link a separate issue?

Is this addition specific to SQL Server only or should it be added to this page in general?

Thanks for your appreciation,

From the SQLAlchemy documentation I understood that it applies to all database connection strings which used via SQLAlchemy to connect. So, it will apply to page level.

And one more information related to this is already the documentation for AWS Athena has information related to this but specific to Athena database.

I had provided the wrong link earlier. I’ve now updated it with the correct issue discussion. I apologize for any confusion caused.
