I have found Tableau’s views of data sources to be … lacking. To provide a report of data sources, the database type, and where it is being used, I put together a query that locates all data sources (or filters by database type — specifically, I was trying to see who was using Snowflake) and lists the site, project, and workbook using the data source.
-- Data sources and what workbook they are used in
SELECT system_users.email , datasources.id, datasources.name, datasources.created_at, datasources.updated_at, datasources.db_class, datasources.db_name
, datasources.site_id, sites.name AS SiteName, projects.name AS ProjectName, workbooks.name AS WorkbookName
FROM datasources
LEFT OUTER JOIN users ON users.id = datasources.owner_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN system_users ON users.system_user_id = system_users.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN sites ON datasources.site_id = sites.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN projects ON datasources.project_id = projects.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN workbooks ON datasources.parent_workbook_id = workbooks.id
-- WHERE datasources.db_class = 'snowflake'
ORDER BY datasources.created_at;
