New features and changes follow.

setdbprefs Accepts Structure Input

The setdbprefs function now accepts a structure as input. For example, you can run the following commands to assign values to s:

s.DataReturnFormat = 'numeric';
s.ErrorHandling = 'report';

You can also do this for other setdbprefs properties whose values you want to change. Then set the preferences using the values in s by running the command:

setdbprefs(s)

For more information, see the setdbprefs reference page.

Visual Query Builder Generated M-File Includes Placeholder for Password and Assigns Preferences to Structure

When you run a query in the Visual Query Builder and select File > Generate M-File, the resulting M-file now includes a placeholder string password in the database statement. If a password is required for the connection, such as for connections established via JDBC drivers, substitute the password for the password string. If no password is required, the M-file will run as is. For more information, see About Generated M-Files.

The generated M-file assigns values for the preferences to the structure s. For more information, see the setdbprefs reference page.

Preference Added for Temporary Registry Output; Ensures Full Output for getdatasources

When you use getdatasources to view the data sources for your system, ensure that you view all data sources by specifying a temporary, writable, output directory using the new preference, TempDirForRegistryOutput. This is useful when you add data sources and do not have write access for the MATLAB current directory, where the toolbox temporarily writes ODBC registry settings. Without write access, getdatasources does not always return data sources you added. In that event, run setdbprefs to specify a value for the TempDirForRegistryOutput preference, where the value is the full pathname to a directory for which you have write access.
