Reposting here for visibility. Tableau is not reporting lineage for hundreds of our customSQLTables. There is not much info on the root cause aside from this and I was wondering if anyone had to navigate around this e.g how to check what is exactly that’s not supported or a way to test the support of a query awthanks

We needed to change our urns to get this to work @acoustic-quill-54426. Is Datahub creating the upstream tables for you? It did for us, it was just duplicate and unmapped to the database table bc of mismatching urns.

Our problem is not with datahub, but with tableau itself and its capability to extract lineage from custom sql tables. The upstream tables exist, but the ingestion does not report the lineage because tableau itself cant extract it
after some finagling on the Tableau side
I was hoping you had some insights on how to tweak the queries on tableau
For example, we have seen that casting with
::
is unsupported

I only pulled a smaller tableau project as we're QAing/Testing Datahub and didnt experience that issue yet. I'm guessing federated extracts will be an issue, at the very least. Will update if we experience or solve anything....

Thanks! FWIW we have submitted a case to Tableau and will be updating if we find something useful 👍
tableau support was not of much help, so we are creating lineage ourselves https://datahubspace.slack.com/archives/C02GBGG90CU/p1678723909830749
