Tableau Desktop Foundations Practice Question

While connected live to a SQL table, you right-click a column in Tableau's Data pane and choose Rename. What happens as a result of this action within Tableau Desktop and in the underlying database schema?

  • Both Tableau and the source database are updated; Tableau issues an ALTER TABLE command to rename the physical column.

  • The field is renamed in Tableau, but you must refresh the connection or extract before any worksheet will display the new name.

  • Only the current worksheet shows the new name; other worksheets continue to display the original field name until manually renamed.

  • The field's name is updated in all worksheets in the workbook, but the original database column name remains unchanged.
