Where can I find the Tableau Basecamp connector download?
All of the CData Tableau Connectors for Basecamp integration are freely available for download online. A 30-day trial of the Tableau Basecamp download can be found alongside other supported Tableau Basecamp integration technologies like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, SQL Server SSIS, and more.
What is the difference between a Tableau Basecamp Driver and the CData Basecamp Tableau Connector?
Unlike a Tableau Basecamp driver, CData offers a native Tableau Basecamp connector for a seamless and optimized experience. Tableau drivers typically rely on an ODBC or JDBC layer, requiring separate tableau add ins, installation and configuration. A Basecamp Tableau driver delivered this way can introduce latency due to external driver dependencies. In contrast, CData connectors provide native Tableau analytics connectivity, delivering optimized performance through direct integration.
