Why CData for Veeva Vault Tableau Data Connectivity

Empower your teams to make faster, data-driven decisions with live access to Veeva Vault — no ETL, no code. Reduce integration overhead, streamline analytics, and extend insights across your organization with high-performance SQL-based connectivity.



Comprehensive Veeva Vault Data Access and Discovery

The Veeva Vault 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 Veeva Vault data natively within Tableau's familiar interface—no prep work required.

The CData connector enables you to interact with Veeva Vault 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 Veeva Vault. 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 Veeva Vault data with other data sources seamlessly.

Getting Started

Tableau Cloud does not support the deployment of custom connectors. As a result, deploying reports that connect Veeva Vault and Tableau cloud is not possible with the CData Tableau connector for Veeva Vault.

Instead, Veeva Vault Tableau cloud connectivity is possible through CData Connect Cloud. Connect Cloud is a SaaS platform that provides real-time access to all your cloud data from Tableau Desktop or Tableau Cloud. No coding, installation, or special skills required.

All of the CData Tableau Connectors for Veeva Vault integration are freely available for download online. A 30-day trial of the Tableau Veeva Vault download can be found alongside other supported Tableau Veeva Vault integration technologies like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, SQL Server SSIS, and more.

Unlike a Tableau Veeva Vault driver, CData offers a native Tableau Veeva Vault 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 Veeva Vault 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.
