Hi

I recently downloaded infobright and Tableau, i want to be able to transfer data from an existing database ( for example MySQL) and manage it in Tableau, can anyone explain how i can get my own databases in there? im working at root server, port 5029.
I also wondering if its possible to create tables/columns/dimensions through the command line, i managed to create a new database and its visible in Tableau but i cant seem to do anything with the database.

I hope you understand what im looking for here, as you might noticed i am a beginner in this area but i really want to( and have to) learn more

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Kurtan

My suggestion would be to create the tables you want that are in your current Mysql database, then do a SELECT INTO outfile and then a LOAD DATA to load the data into the Infobright tables.  This works efficiently.
