Connecting to servers through installed connectors

Within an organizational setting, versus personal analysis, the data sources for Tableau data models are often contained in file stores, applications, and database servers. At the time of writing, using Tableau Desktop version 2022.2 on macOS. Tableau comes with 59 installed connectors for data servers. Installed connectors are connectors written and developed by Tableau and distributed with Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server and Cloud. Tableau Prep Builder also comes with installed connectors.

These connectors fall into the following general categories:

  • On-premises database servers (for example, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server)
  • Cloud database servers (for example, Snowflake and Google BigQuery)
  • Cloud applications (for example, Salesforce and ServiceNow)
  • File shares (for example, Box and Google Drive)

Tableau maintains a list of current native connectors at https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop...

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar?
