what is best way to connect tableau to data bases

Tableau integrates with most data types and offers out of the box integration with a variety of big data platforms, including Hadoop. Tableau integrates with R, the business intelligence statistical language many data scientists use to dive deep into BI for statistical and advanced analytics. Data gurus can then leverage Tableau to easily visualize their data. Tableau also offers native support for Google BigQuery API– a plus for organizations that want highly detailed analytics.

in the professional edition of tableau desktop:
once you open it, you will a section called "to a Server" on the left side menu.
with in that, you will see various DB options like: MySQL, Amazon Redshift, etc.
select the DB of your choice, and provide that DB info in the pop-up menu. like: server URL, port, username, password.
that's it. will be connected with the DB of your choice, then.
