Before you begin

Before you begin, gather this connection information:

Name of the server that hosts the database you want to connect to
User name and password
Are you connecting to an SSL server?
(Optional) Initial SQL statement to run every time Tableau connects

Driver required

This connector requires a driver to talk to the database. You might already have the required driver installed on your computer. If the driver is not installed on your computer, Tableau displays a message in the connection dialog box with a link to the Driver Download(Link opens in a new window) page where you can find driver links and installation instructions.

Make the connection and set up the data source

Start Tableau and under Connect, select MySQL. For a complete list of data connections, select More under To a Server. Then do the following:
1. Enter the name of the server that hosts the database.
2. Enter the user name and password.
  Select the Require SSL option when connecting to an SSL server.
3. (Optional) Select Initial SQL to specify a SQL command to run at the beginning of every connection, such as when you open the workbook, refresh an extract, sign in to Tableau Server, or publish to Tableau Server. For more information, see Run Initial SQL.
4. Select Sign In.
  If Tableau can't make the connection, verify that your credentials are correct. If you still can't connect, your computer is having trouble locating the server. Contact your network administrator or database administrator.
On the data source page, do the following:
1. (Optional) Select the default data source name at the top of the page, and then enter a unique data source name for use in Tableau. For example, use a data source naming convention that helps other users of the data source figure out which data source to connect to.
2. From the Database drop-down list, select a database or use the text box to search for a database by name.
3. Under Table, select a table or use the text box to search for a table by name.
4. Drag the table to the canvas, and then select the sheet tab to start your analysis.
  Use custom SQL to connect to a specific query rather than the entire data source. For more information, see Connect to a Custom SQL Query.

Sign in on a Mac

If you use Tableau Desktop on a Mac, when you enter the server name to connect, use a fully qualified domain name, such as mydb.test.ourdomain.lan, instead of a relative domain name, such as mydb or mydb.test.
