I am new to using tableau server. I wanted to know if it was possible to download a tableau workbook (which is linked to a live SQL DB) with the data from the tableau server? Basically I would want to have a downloaded packaged tableau file which I can pass around for demos, without having to connect to the database every time.

You can do this programmatically in python simply. TSC(Tableau Server Client) is the python library for tableau server. You can publish, update, delete and download workbooks freely using TSC Please visit https://github.com/tableau/server-client-python/blob/master/docs/docs/api-ref.md On this page, just search by "workbooks.download", then you will get the instructions how to download a workbook with data extraction.
