Before you can connect to AtScale from Tableau, you must install the PostgreSQL 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.

Before you can connect to AtScale from Tableau using the PostgreSQL driver, verify that the metadataExport.driver.type global setting is set to postgres. For more information on changing global settings, see Configuring Global Settings.

Procedure​

To install the PostgreSQL driver:

  1. Download the Java 8 42.7.3 JDBC driver from the PostgreSQL download page.
  2. Copy the .jar file to the Drivers/ folder under Tableau's install location. You may need to create this folder if it doesn't exist.
