Be able to connect Tableau directly to Raiser's Edge NXT data using SQL server connector

Our org. (along with many others) uses Tableau and would like to be able to connect directly to our Raiser’s Edge data.  Tableau is designed with a native SQL Server connector so this should be possible, but our account rep said we could not, even with an API. I was told “The general rule is that API’s are not available when we host their RE database, unless it is on the list of supported 3rd party integrations and I don’t see Tableau listed as one of the supported API’s.”
