In a MySQL DB I need to attach to more that one data source. How is this done.

In my case I have a product field in my main Bug dB that has numbers in it. Those numbers mean nothing. There is another table that has teh actual product values. ie product1, product2, etc...

How can I use the actual product values?

Hi Grant,

The two data sources will need to have a common field so that a blend can be done. The following links provide more information on how to data blend with Tableau:

Hope these help!
