After installing Tableau Desktop or Tableau Prep Builder 2022.4 or later in a new environment, ODBC drivers for PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server are missing in the driver folder C:\Program Files\Tableau\Drivers. In previous versions, those drivers were installed.

Environment

Answer

ODBC and JDBC drivers are not included in Tableau products 2022.4 (or newer) installers.
Please follow the instructions on the Driver Download page to download and install the supported drivers. For PostgreSQL, only the JDBC driver is officially supported.

Beginning with Tableau Server 2023.1 you must install the PostgreSQL driver if you want to use PostgreSQL connector. See more details in Administrative Views.
