The CouchDB Connector simplifies this by exposing rich metadata for automated data discovery, with intelligent row scanning, type detection, and relationship mapping. It also supports unstructured data, letting you explore your CouchDB data natively within Tableau's familiar interface—no prep work required.

The CData connector enables you to interact with CouchDB using standard SQL—the language Tableau speaks natively. Whether you're using Tableau's visual query builder or writing Custom SQL, the connector translates your queries to retrieve real-time data from CouchDB. With comprehensive ANSI-92 SQL support including filtering, GROUP BY, JOINs, and aggregations, you can perform complex analytical queries even in Live Connection mode, joining CouchDB data with other data sources seamlessly.

Getting Started
Where can I find the Tableau CouchDB connector download?
All of the CData Tableau Connectors for CouchDB integration are freely available for download online. A 30-day trial of the Tableau CouchDB download can be found alongside other supported Tableau CouchDB integration technologies like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, SQL Server SSIS, and more.
What is the difference between a Tableau CouchDB Driver and the CData CouchDB Tableau Connector?
Unlike a Tableau CouchDB driver, CData offers a native Tableau CouchDB 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 CouchDB 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.
