The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Tableau takes a fresh look at databases

The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Tableau takes a fresh look at databases: "What it does: Developed a way for database users to interpret information visually by using drag-and-drop features.
...
Roots: The company was developed by its chief technology officer, Pat Hanrahan, a Stanford University professor of computer science and electrical engineering, perhaps best known for developing Pixar technology.
Going to market: The intellectual property was spun out of Stanford in January 2003. Tableau has exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the technology."
