Considerations

Compatibility between the Trino and Tableau JDBC package isn’t guaranteed when Treasure Data Trino is upgraded. We recommend that you use Tableau Server Export Integration for production systems because the connector requires regular updates of data sources.

Install JDBC Driver for Mac

Download Trino JDBC Driver.

To install the Mac driver for Trino, complete the following steps:

1. Close Tableau Desktop.
2. Download the driver from the Download link.
3. Click the downloaded file.
4. Place the .jar files in the folder for your operating system. (You need to create the folder if it doesn't already exist.)
   1. Mac: ~/Library/Tableau/Drivers
5. Open Tableau Desktop and connect to Presto.

Make the Connection

Start Tableau. Click Connect > Presto

For a complete list of data connections, click To a Server > More.

Then complete the following steps:

1. Enter Presto JDBC/ODBC Gateway server: Presto/Trino Endpoints
2. Enter the port: 443
3. Enter the catalog name; td-trino
4. Select the Authentication method: Username
5. Enter the Username: Use your master APIKEY-- Get APIKEY
6. Select the Require SSL check box.
7. Select Sign In.

If Tableau cannot complete the connection, verify that your credentials are correct.

On the data source page, complete the following steps:

1. Select the default data source name at the top of the page, and then enter a unique data source name for use in Tableau.
2. From the Schema drop-down list, select the search icon or enter the schema name in the text box and select the search icon.
3. Select the schema.
