Is there any chance in the foreseeable future that you will support Sybase database connections?

Hi Bill,

Unfortunately right now we don't support Sybase data sources. I've passed your feedback along as a feature request. As we continue to look at additional data sources, your feedback will help guide our priorities. I'll make sure to keep you posted if we add support for connecting to Sybase.

Thanks!

Hi all,
Sybase integration is SO the #1 on my tableau wish list, too !

I've spent dozen hours to try to hack a Sybase connexion, first through a Acces ODBC link, and then through a MS SQL link.
Neither method is stable nor reliable, so now I resigned to bcp the tables and load data into another Db...

Now the question is: has Tableau any commercial interest to develop a robust Sybase link?
I really think so :)
==> In Continental Europe, there's still many finance related companies that work with Sybase (banks, Asset Management companies,and others), and finance is a topic where Tableau is of HUGE value.

So please! Give us a Sybase link and we'll advertise to finance Companies! I'm even ready to post examples of use for such companies :-)

Regards

Julien
