Describe your changes

Adds a new integration guide for connecting Looker to Tiger Cloud or self-hosted TimescaleDB as a data source. Covers creating a dedicated looker role with read grants, a looker_scratch schema for persistent derived tables (PDTs), adding the connection in Looker (PostgreSQL dialect, host/port/database/credentials, PDT temp database, SSL, IP allowlisting), verification via SQL Runner, and troubleshooting. Adds a sidebar entry under BI & visualization.

Drafted from the Looker PostgreSQL connection docs. Linear: EDU-600.

Needs review (AI-drafted, not hand-verified):

  • Logo: frontmatter references looker.png, but only looker.svg was provided — SVG is not supported by the card-logo loader (png/jpg/jpeg/webp only). A looker.png/.webp must be added to src/assets/images/integrate/card-logos/ or the card falls back to initials.
  • Exact Looker UI label strings (Add Connection, Dialect, Persistent Derived Tables, Temp Database, SQL Runner) should be confirmed against the current Looker version.
  • Looker's egress IP ranges and SSL specifics depend on your Looker hosting; confirm before publishing.
