# CrateDB connector for Tableau
[](https://github.com/crate/cratedb-tableau-connector/actions/workflows/main.yml)
## About
[Tableau] is a visual business intelligence and analytics software platform.
It expresses data by translating drag-and-drop actions into data queries
through an intuitive interface.
[CrateDB] is a distributed and scalable SQL database for storing and analyzing
massive amounts of data in near real-time, even with complex queries. It is
PostgreSQL-compatible, and based on Lucene.
The [CrateDB connector for Tableau] provides optimal connectivity and usability
with Tableau's line of products. It is based on the [PostgreSQL JDBC driver].
## Install
You will need to download the PostgreSQL JDBC driver ([JAR file]), and the CrateDB connector ([TACO file]).
### PostgreSQL JDBC driver
Warning: PostgreSQL JDBC driver versions `>=postgresql-42.7.5.jar` are not compatible with CrateDB.
The latest validated version is `postgresql-42.7.4.jar`.
Download the driver JAR file from the [pgJDBC page] into:
- Windows: `C:\Program Files\Tableau\Drivers`
- Mac: `~/Library/Tableau/Drivers`
- Linux: `/opt/tableau/tableau_driver/jdbc`
### CrateDB connector
You can find the connector within the "Assets" sections on the
[releases page]. Download the [TACO file], for example `cratedb_jdbc-v0.0.5.taco`,
into:
#### Tableau Desktop
- Windows: `C:\Users\[Windows User]\Documents\My Tableau Repository\Connectors`
- MacOS: `/Users/[user]/Documents/My Tableau Repository/Connectors`
#### Tableau Prep Builder
- Windows: `C:\Users\[Windows User]\Documents\My Tableau Prep Repository\Connectors`
- MacOS: `/Users//Documents/My Tableau Prep Repository/Connectors`
#### Tableau Server
- Windows: `C:\Program Files\Tableau\Connectors`
- Linux: `/opt/tableau/connectors`
For older versions, see [Tableau Connector SDK legacy documentation].
Important: For Tableau Server, in multi node setups, the connector has to be installed in every node.
## Usage
For development purposes, please read the [sandbox documentation](./DEVELOP.md).
## Compatibility status
Compatibility is validated using Tableau's Connector SDK, using its
[TDVT suite]. Compatibility progress is tracked in [TABLEAU-2].
