Connector improvements

There are no changes regarding the way you connect to data or what you can do with data sources. However, the newest version of Tableau includes four new connectors, all of which have been available since Tableau 2019.1:

  • Azure SQL Data Warehouse Connector
  • Google Ads Connector
  • Google Drive
  • MariaDB

Some other data source improvements are as follows:

  • OAuth is enabled for a Snowflake connector (2019.1)
  • You can directly use the power of spatial information in a PostgreSQL+PostGIS database without having to export or prep the data (2019.1)
  • The JDBC connector was improved for better performance (2019.2)
  • You can connect to on-premise Service Now deployments (2019.2)
  • You can use Azure Active Directory username and password authentication (2019.2)
  • Enhanced SAP Hana and Marketo connectors (2019.2)

Now, let's take a look at visualization improvements.
