TABLEAU DESKTOP: 10.3 - 2019.2
MongoDB BI Connector uses MySQL drivers. If you don't have MySQL drivers
installed, you need to install them using the following instructions.
Important: There have been some cases where MySQL driver 8.0.x can't connect to
MySQL 5.x database. Therefore, we strongly recommend you use the latest driver
version that most closely matches the database version you need to connect to.
For example, if you connect to a 5.x database, use the latest 5.x driver.
You also need to install and run the MongoDB Connector for BI, version 2.1 or
later, before you can connect Tableau to your MongoDB BI data. For information
about getting and installing the MongoDB Connector for BI, see Connecting
Tableau to MongoDB on the MongoDB website.
Follow these steps to install the Mac driver for MySQL:
1. Close Tableau Desktop.
2. Install the iODBC Driver Manager, if it's not already installed on your Mac.
You can get the latest version (mxkozzz.dmg) from the iODBC.org website or
download the file directly.
Note: You must install iODBC before you install the MySQL ODBC connector.
3. Download and install the MySQL ODBC connector for your Mac OS X version:
* Sierra and later
* Older versions:
1. Select Version: 5.2.7
2. Select Operating System: Mac OS X
3. Select OS Version: Select the OS version for your Mac.
For more information, see Installing Connector/ODBC on macOS on the MySQL
website.
4. Open Tableau Desktop and connect to MongoDB BI Connector.
Note: We strongly recommend that you upgrade to the latest MySQL ODBC driver
because it contains fixes for an outdated OpenSSL library and other
vulnerabilities. For more information, see the Security Bulletin.

follow the steps to install the Mac driver for MySQL.
Important: There have been some cases where MySQL driver 8.0.x can't connect to
MySQL 5.x database. Therefore, we strongly recommend you use the latest driver
version that most closely matches the database version you need to connect to.
For example, if you connect to a 5.x database, use the latest 5.x driver.
1. Close Tableau Prep Builder.
2. Install the iODBC Driver Manager, if it's not already installed on your Mac.
You can get the latest version (mxkozzz.dmg) from the iODBC.org website or
download the file directly.
Note: You must install iODBC before you install the MySQL ODBC connector.
3. Download and install the MySQL ODBC connector for your Mac OS X version:
* Sierra and later
* Older versions:
1. Select Version: 5.2.7
2. Select Operating System: Mac OS X
3. Select OS Version: Select the OS version for your Mac.
For more information, see Installing Connector/ODBC on OS X on the MySQL
website.
4. Open Tableau Prep Builder and connect to SingleStore.
Note: We strongly recommend that you upgrade to the latest MySQL ODBC driver
because it contains fixes for an outdated OpenSSL library and other
vulnerabilities. For more information, see the Security Bulletin.
