Package: hyperdb
Tableau hyperdbHyperdb provides wrapper functions for working with Tableau hyper datasources and moving data between Tableau Server, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure through a common interfaceSome example use cases are:Publishing SQL query results to Tableau Server with python scripts.This approach leverages computing power of SQL databases for ETL and improves dashboard performanceExtracting and transforming data from noncoventional datasources such as emails and API for dashboards.Using cloud storage and serverless compute solutions, prototyping and development becomes easyTapping hyper datasources on servers for analysis in Pandas and storing results in SQL database.Usually hyper data sources feeding the dashboards are cleaned and enriched, why not use them instead of using the raw data?Feeding data from ML models to published dashboards.With Pandas and cloud services working together possibilities are limitless. The missing link between data and insight is vizualization and this libray aims to fill that gap by feeding Tableau vizualizations what they love:hyper datasources!Installationpip install hyperdbSetting up development environmentgit clone https://github.com/mhadi813/hyperdb
