Database Toolbox

Expected Background for Users

This documentation assumes that you have a working understanding of MATLAB.

If you are not familiar with the Structured Query Language (SQL) and database applications, use the Visual Query Builder (VQB) tool. For information on using the VQB, see Visual Query Builder.

If you are familiar with SQL and the database applications you use, you can use the VQB to build SQL queries easily and import results into MATLAB. You can also use the VQB to insert records from MATLAB to new rows in a database. To write MATLAB applications that access databases, to use a command line rather than a GUI, or to perform actions you cannot do with the Visual Query Builder, use the Database Toolbox functions. For information on how to use the functions, see Using Functions in the Database Toolbox and Function Reference.
