On Linux and Mac computers, you'll need to install a driver for this connector when you use it with Tableau Desktop or Tableau Prep Builder. A new JDBC driver for PostgreSQL supports these connections and is included with all Tableau products on Windows. Note: Beginning with Tableau 2020.4, you can connect to PostgreSQL 12 (or higher) databases from Tableau. 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.
You might already have the required driver installed on your computer. This connector requires a driver to talk to the database. (Optional) Initial SQL statement to run every time Tableau connects
