Huh, as usual you’ve picked on a most interesting tool: Tableau seems quite impressive indeed, especially when compared with the industry-dominant Crystal Reports. It looks like non-developer users can create visualizations w/o having to understand e.g. SQL, which is a certainly not the case with Crystal and was a big disappointment in my efforts toward enabling clients of our hosted database product. Though pitched as a “query generator”, CR doesn’t do that when it comes to SQL. I’m hoping Tableau does a better job of that, though I wouldn’t be surprised if that weren’t the case, since it is a very difficult problem.
Interestingly, they have a San Mateo office right down the road, so I might just mosy down and say “hello”. Thanks again for the valuable tip!
