Connect to Tableau CRM Analytics

You can now connect with an ODBC connection string or a DSN. See the Getting Started section in the CData driver documentation for a guide to creating a DSN on your OS.

Tableau CRM Analytics uses the OAuth 2 authentication standard. You will need to obtain the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret by registering an app with Tableau CRM Analytics.

See the Getting Started section of the Help documentation for an authentication guide.

Below is the syntax for a DSN:

[CData TableauCRM Source] Driver = CData ODBC Driver for Tableau CRM Analytics Description = My Description OAuthClientId = MyConsumerKey OAuthClientSecret = MyConsumerSecret CallbackURL = http://localhost:portNumber

Execute SQL to Tableau CRM Analytics

Instantiate a Cursor and use the execute method of the Cursor class to execute any SQL statement.

import pyodbc cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={CData ODBC Driver for TableauCRM};OAuthClientId = MyConsumerKey;OAuthClientSecret = MyConsumerSecret;CallbackURL = http://localhost:portNumber;') cursor = cnxn.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT Name, CloseDate FROM Dataset_Opportunity WHERE StageName = 'Closed Won'") rows = cursor.fetchall() for row in rows: print(row.Name, row.CloseDate)

After connecting to Tableau CRM Analytics in PyCharm using the CData ODBC Driver, you will be able to build Python apps with access to Tableau CRM Analytics data as if it were a standard database.
