Abstract
Unlike other Salesforce.com drivers, Simba's Salesforce ODBC Driver performs the added task of mapping advanced SQL functionality to the native Salesforce SOQL API to provide users with seamless integration between Tableau and Salesforce.com. The Simba Salesforce ODBC Driver supports query functionality within the Saleforce.com dataset and is configured to pass queries through for added efficiency. The driver also utilizes Simba's Collaborative Query Execution (CQE) to pass down filters and aggregations for added performance.
"Simba has developed numerous ODBC 3.52 drivers for BI and data warehouse vendors globally, and with the powerful features within the Salesforce ODBC Driver with SQL Connector allows for seamless use of Tableau software on your Salesforce data source," said Rob Eisses, Simba's VP Sales. "Simba is excited to add this improved connectivity option for Saleforce.com customers wanting to connect to Tableau or other BI and reporting tools."
