The published data source , or the Hyper Database Engine is Tableaus' own product. But Tableau provide neither the join nor the relationship feature for them own product. For the Other companies' products, Oracle, Postgre, xlsx, or so on, Tableau provide full support of both the join and the relationship. I think it is very strange situation. Why? Usually, own products would have more generous support than other companies' products.
Bump for 2024
It's about time tableau actually considers to allow third party software to tap into Tableau Server Data Sources. It's almost pointless to go great lengths to clean and conform data only to have to replicate that work somewhere else. I see this as a critical feature considering how much they have invested in the data management side of things in recent years!!!
Bump, Tableau needs this.
any update on this one?

I used the method outlined by @Michael Lang (Member) as a solution for my company-- in my case we were stitiching over half-a-dozen data sources together. The resulting flatfile is much larger than were one to a true relational database, but it worked.

Mainly bumping for visibility, there has been pretty much no feedback since the message from @Amy Forstrom (Tableau) in 2019. This functionality is being screamed for and is huge limitation for Tableau.
OMG. Blending continues to drive us nuts. Causes extra creation of table dumps so we can do proper joins. Anyone else tired of seeing " * " in your analysis when blending? Tableau chose NOT to fix this. I hoped SForce would make something happen here but we continue to wrestle with this limitation of having to blend tableau data sources. soon it'll be a decade. Come on SF FIX THIS!

Looking at all the new features including the ability to finally join server data sources is going to be a huge game changer for my department and all of my projects. I can't wait.
