Write-back from Tableau to Presto?

[nnadtoka]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if the write-backs from Tableau to Presto are currently supported? My guess is that they are not at present. If that's a correct guess, is it something potentially feasible?

Thanks a lot for your great work,
Nataliya.

Hi @nnadtoka,
Since Presto (the server) doesn't support INSERT INTO yet (there is an open PR for hive connectors: prestodb/presto#1718) the driver also doesn't support it. Even though that PR is in, it may not be trivial to support inserts as the INSERT statements Tableau will generate will probably not be compatible with the INSERT syntax Presto understands.

Hi @nezihyigitbasi,
Thank you for a quick reply. It explains a lot. Indeed, I've seen that Tableau and Presto (with the current ODBC driver) seem to have some disconnect in their syntax (at least with some a little bit more complex custom SQL queries and some formulas of Tableau).

Nataliya.
