asked on

Tableau and Third-Party Datasource (Clickhouse)

Good morning,

Just wondering if anyone knows if Tableau installation on Linux can be connected to a third party Data source, Clickhouse.  Was told that it not officially supported by Tableau. Clickhouse is using ODBC and JDBC drivers but open to use anything as long as it works.

Let me know what option there is for this?

Thanks!

Since the entire point of Tableau is to visualize data...

Seems odd Tableau would tell you this.

Seems like you'll just write some sort of stub/adapter code to run Clickhouse data into your Tableau instance.

You asked, "Let me know what option there is for this?"

Likely answer is, "you'll write code to do this".

Which will be some sort of short script (in your language of preference) to do the Clickhouse -> Tableau data handoff, where you may rewrite/reformat your Clickhouse data to match whatever Tableau reporting you prefer.
