Tableau Desktop Foundations Practice Question

When deciding between maintaining a live connection to a production database and creating a Tableau extract, which of the following scenarios makes an extract the better choice?

  • The database is behind a corporate VPN that field sales staff cannot access while traveling, and dashboards must work offline.

  • You need to preserve the source database's built-in row-level security rules automatically.

  • The underlying data set refreshes every few seconds and users must see real-time results.

  • The source is a small local Excel file already stored on every user's computer.
