Tableau Version Support

The connector supports Tableau Desktop 2020.1 or later and Tableau Prep 2020.4.1 or later. Versions between 2020.1 and 2020.3 of Tableau Desktop are supported via the legacy connector file (cdata.neo4j.legacy.taco) and versions 2020.3 and higher are supported using the modern connector file (cdata.neo4j.taco).

For older versions of Tableau, use the CData ODBC Driver for Neo4j or the CData JDBC Driver for Neo4j to connect.

Neo4j Version Support

The connector leverages the Neo4j HTTP API. The connector supports self-managed instances of Neo4j version 4.2 and above. Cloud Neo4j instances like those of AuraDB and AuraDS, which only support connections via Bolt protocol, are not supported.
