What is the difference between extract and live connection in Tableau?
Live and extracts are two ways you can make the data connection to the tableau. Live allows you real-time data while extracts are kind of batch which needs to be refreshed from time to time to get the updated data.
What is a live connection in Tableau?
As the name suggests, a Live connection is made when we want our data to keep flowing in our Tableau Data source from a dynamic database. This offers flexibility when we want real-time updates and instantaneous insights. Live data process queries in the source database.
