Tableau Extracts or Direct Connection - When to Use
Tableau Extracts Vs Direct Connection:
The decision on whether to use live connections or extracts in the life cycle of authoring tableau dashboards can have a direct impact on your tableau experience and ultimately the experience of your intended audience.In addition to choosing your data source in Tableau, you need to decide whether you want to use live or static data. In other words, do you want your analysis and visualizations to be based on the most current data that’s available or do you want to use an extract that provides a snapshot of the results based on criteria that you select?
Direct connections allow you to work with live data. When you extract data you import some or all of your data into the Tableau’s data engine. This is true in TABLEAU Desktop and Server. Which connection method is the best to use? There is no straightforward answer for this question. It is entirely dependent on your situation, requirements, and network resources.
