Connect Tableau Public to SQL View or Access Query

I'm currently using tableau public for a proof of concept for work. Is it possible for me to connect to a query in Access without having to rewrite the query in Tableau? Looking further ahead, I'll be writing queries in SQL server and want to connect to them via Tableau server.

Do I always need to write the queries in Tableau? Is there a way to connect to Access Queries in Tableau public? Is there a way to connect to SQL Views via SQL Server?
