Tableau Desktop Foundations Practice Question

A data analyst is creating a dashboard that must display near real-time sales data from a rapidly changing transactional database. The primary requirement is that the visualizations reflect the most current data at all times. Which connection type should be used?

  • A live connection, because it sends queries directly to the database, providing up-to-the-minute data.

  • An extract, because it can be scheduled to refresh automatically on Tableau Server.

  • A live connection, because it packages the data within the workbook file for offline access.

  • An extract, because it will improve the performance and speed of the dashboard.
