Before you can connect to AtScale from Tableau, you must install the PostgresSQL JDBC driver. Tableau requires this to connect to and query AtScale models.

For the list of JDBC drivers AtScale supports, see AtScale Supported Tools and Platforms.

Prerequsites​

Before you can connect to AtScale from Tableau using the PostgresSQL driver, verify that the metadataExport.driver.type engine setting is set to postgres. For more information on changing engine settings, see Changing Engine Settings.

To install the PostgresSQL driver:

  1. Download the Java 8 42.7.3 JDBC driver from the PostgresSQL download page.
