Table

The Tableau Integration will discover resources of type Table when it identifies a published data source or Tableau extract referring to a database table. For example, if a data source is using a table from the data warehouse, which is not connected to dbt, the Tableau source will discover thus table.

To determine the exact location of the referred data source or extract, the Tableau Integration utilizes the project and data source properties specified in the Tableau metadata API. The Looker Connection usually has all the metadata required for Euno to uniquely determine the URI of the referred table.

In the case of cloud-hosted extracts, the Tableau Integration may encounter limitations in handling credentials or region-specific configurations. For instance, API calls might lack sufficient detail to automatically distinguish between regions or accounts, requiring manual intervention to map these attributes correctly. In this case, Euno defaults to using the aws account id default_aws_account.us_central1 . If you have multiple AWS accounts and you need to distinguish between them, set up manual "connection mapping".

Property	Value
name	The name of the table.
database_technology	The technology of the database, based on the the dialect of the connection
database	The name of the database
schema	The name of the schema
