Before you begin
Before you begin, gather this connection information:
- Name of the server you want to connect to
- User name and password
- (Optional) Initial SQL statement to run every time Tableau connects
Driver required
This connector requires a driver to talk to the database. You might already have the required driver installed on your computer. If the driver is not installed on your computer, Tableau displays a message in the connection dialog box with a link to the Driver Download(Link opens in a new window) page where you can find driver links and installation instructions.
Make the connection and set up the data source
- Start Tableau and under Connect, select Exasol. For a complete list of data connections, select More under To a Server. Then do the following:
- Enter the name of the server that you want to connect to.
- Enter the user name and password.
- (Optional) Select Initial SQL to specify a SQL command to run at the beginning of every connection, such as when you open the workbook, refresh an extract, sign in to Tableau Server, or publish to Tableau Server. For more information, see Run Initial SQL.
- Select Sign In.
- On the data source page, do the following:
- (Optional) Select the default data source name at the top of the page, and then enter a unique data source name for use in Tableau. For example, use a data source naming convention that helps other users of the data source figure out which data source to connect to.
- From the Schema drop-down list, select a schema or use the text box to search for a schema by name.
- Under Table, select a table or use the text box to search for a table by name.
- Drag the table to the canvas, and then select the sheet tab to start your analysis.Use custom SQL to connect to a specific query rather than the entire data source. For more information, see Connect to a Custom SQL Query.
Sign in on a Mac
If you use Tableau Desktop on a Mac, when you enter the server name to connect, use a fully qualified domain name, such as mydb.test.ourdomain.lan, instead of a relative domain name, such as mydb or mydb.test.
Alternatively, you can add the domain to the list of Search Domains for the Mac computer so that when you connect, you need to provide only the server name. To update the list of Search Domains, go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced, and then open the DNS tab.
