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.

There are times when you might want to modify the connection made with the Amazon Redshift connector. Starting in Tableau 2019.2.1, you can do this by appending driver parameters to the connection string in the Custom driver parameters text box:
This article explains to establish and ODBC connection to Amazon Redshift from Tableau Desktop. Tableau is a data visualization tool that allows you to pull in raw data, perform analysis on it, and create meaningful reports to get actionable insights. With Tableau Desktop and our suite of ODBC drivers, you can connect to various relational and non-relational databases, both cloud and on-premise.
Amazon Redshift provides 64-bit ODBC drivers for Linux, Windows, and macOS X operating systems. The 32-bit ODBC drivers are discontinued. Further updates will not be released, except for urgent security patches.
You install the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver on client computers accessing an Amazon Redshift data warehouse. Each computer where you install the driver must meet a list of minimum system requirements. For information about minimum system requirements, see the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.
Use the following procedure to download the Amazon Redshift ODBC drivers for Windows operating systems. Only use a driver other than these if you're running a third-party application that is certified for use with Amazon Redshift and that requires a specific driver.
After you download and install the ODBC driver, add a data source name (DSN) entry to the client computer or Amazon EC2 instance. SQL client tools use this data source to connect to the Amazon Redshift database.
Use the steps in this section to download and install the Amazon Redshift ODBC drivers on a supported Linux distribution. The installation process installs the driver files in the following directories:
When you have finished installing the drivers, configure them for use on your system. For more information on driver configuration, see Use an ODBC driver manager to configure the driver on Linux and macOS X operating systems.

For information about minimum system requirements, see the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.
Use the steps in this section to download and install the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver on a supported version of macOS X. The installation process installs the driver files in the following directories:
If your macOS X system uses Intel architecture, download the macOS X Intel driver version 1.5.9. If your system uses ARM architecture, download the macOS X ARM driver version 1.5.9. In both cases, the name for this driver is Amazon Redshift ODBC driver.
When you have finished installing the driver, configure it for use on your system. For more information on driver configuration, see Use an ODBC driver manager to configure the driver on Linux and macOS X operating systems.
On Linux and macOS X operating systems, you use an ODBC driver manager to configure the ODBC connection settings. ODBC driver managers use configuration files to define and configure ODBC data sources and drivers. The ODBC driver manager that you use depends on the operating system that you use:
For more information about the supported ODBC driver managers to configure the Amazon Redshift ODBC drivers, see System requirements for Linux operating systems and System requirements for macOS X operating systems. Also, see "Specifying ODBC Driver Managers on Non- Windows Machines" in the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.
Additionally, under /opt/amazon/redshiftodbc/Setup on Linux or /opt/amazon/redshift/Setup on macOS X, there are sample odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files. You can use these files as examples for configuring the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver and the data source name (DSN).
We don't recommend using the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver installation directory for the configuration files. The sample files in the Setup directory are for example purposes only. If you reinstall the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver at a later time, or upgrade to a newer version, the installation directory is overwritten. You then lose any changes that you might have made to those files.
To avoid this, copy the amazon.redshiftodbc.ini file to a directory other than the installation directory. If you copy this file to the user's home directory, add a period (.) to the beginning of the file name to make it a hidden file.
Whichever option you choose for the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files, modify the files to add driver and DSN configuration information. If you create new files, you also need to set environment variables to specify where these configuration files are located.
By default, ODBC driver managers are configured to use hidden versions of the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini configuration files (named .odbc.ini and .odbcinst.ini) located in the home directory. They also are configured to use the amazon.redshiftodbc.ini file in the /lib subfolder of the driver installation directory. If you store these configuration files elsewhere, set the environment variables described following so that the driver manager can locate the files. For more information, see "Specifying the Locations of the Driver Configuration Files" in the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.
Use the correct ODBC driver manager to load the correct driver. To do this, set the library path environment variable. For more information, see "Specifying ODBC Driver Managers on Non-Windows Machines" in the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide.

In Microsoft Windows, you typically set driver options when you configure a data source name (DSN). You can also set driver options in the connection string when you connect programmatically, or by adding or changing registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\your_DSN. For more information about configuring a DSN, see Install and configure the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver on Microsoft Windows.
In Linux and macOS X, you set driver configuration options in your odbc.ini and amazon.redshiftodbc.ini files, as described in Use an ODBC driver manager to configure the driver on Linux and macOS X operating systems. Configuration options set in an amazon.redshiftodbc.ini file apply to all connections. In contrast, configuration options set in an odbc.ini file are specific to a connection. Configuration options set in odbc.ini take precedence over configuration options set in amazon.redshiftodbc.ini.
We have a EC2 server with tableau installed on it. We use that server as tableau web to publish our dashboards.We use few of the source database engines such as PostgreSQL RDS & Amazon Redshift hosted on a private subnet to create the dashboards through tableau.
We are facing issues while we connect to one of our private redshift cluster through the tableau server (EC2). Although, we have installed the redshift drivers by referring the below reference link, still we are getting error as Redshift driver not found while connecting through tableau Web UI.
Please see if following information helps to resolve Tableau connection issues to Redshift. -us/examples_amazonredshift.htmYou may also want to make sure Redshift security groups allow connection from ec2 where Tableau is installed. -with-security-groups.html
Remember: AWS provides a jdbc driver specifically for connecting Tableau to Redshift for you to download and utilize. Please remember to install this driver on the machine running your Tableau instance.
An ODBC driver is a software component that enables an application to interact with a database management system (DBMS) using the ODBC interface. The purpose of using an ODBC driver is to provide a standard method for accessing data stored in a variety of different DBMSs, regardless of the platform or programming language being used. This allows developers to write a single application that can work with multiple databases, rather than having to write separate code for each one. Additionally, ODBC drivers can provide additional functionality such as connection pooling, statement caching, and data encryption.
Integration with third-party services typically involves using APIs or connectors to import data from these services into the data warehouse. For example, Amazon Redshift has built-in connectors for popular services like Amazon S3 and Amazon RDS, as well as connectors for databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. It also has a JDBC driver that allows it to connect to any data source that supports JDBC.
