Not really sure what your use case is, but I find it unlikely that you need all that data for one Tableau view.

You can parse down / aggregate the data using a view in the database or custom SQL from your Tableau connection. Also, try to use extracts rather than live database connections, as they will preform faster.

I like to use views in the database and then use those views to refresh my Tableau extracts on Tableau Server.
