What Is the Database Toolbox?
The Database Toolbox is one of an extensive collection of toolboxes for use with MATLAB®. The Database Toolbox enables you to move data (both importing and exporting) between MATLAB and popular relational databases.
With the Database Toolbox, you can bring data from an existing database into MATLAB, use any of the MATLAB computational and analytic tools, and store the results back in the database or in another database. You read from the database, importing the data into the MATLAB workspace.
For example, a financial analyst working on a mutual fund could import a company's financial data into MATLAB, run selected analyses, and store the results for future tracking. The analyst could then export the saved results to a database.
