Tableau PostGreSQL connection through In-DB tools

estherb47

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with establishing a connection to a Tableau PostGreSQL server using the In-DB tools?

I can set up a connection with an Input tool, but that's slow.

When I set up a connection in the ODBC Admin to Tableau PostGreSQL, I can see it in the list of connections but it doesn't work. I can't choose it as a connection string in this window.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Cheers,

Esther

I am currently updating to 2019.3 so can't provide screenshots, but will try and provide the steps from memory and update later.....

Pull down the Connect In-DB tool >

Select Manage Connections >

Select Greenplum from the top dropdown >

Click New >

Give it a name that you want to use >

select the connection option at the bottom > 

choose the ODBC connection you have set up >

Change to write tab >

select the same as read.

Click OK.

Sorry for the horrible list. But hopefully it helps.
