New features and changes follow.
This toolbox software now supports Sun™ Java BINARY (BLOB or Binary Large Objects) and OTHER data types, such as bitmap images and MAT-files. For more information about using these data types in the Visual Query Builder or with functions, see Retrieving BINARY or OTHER Sun Java SQL Data Types in the Database Toolbox documentation.
You now can use the VQB to export data from the MATLAB workspace, and insert it into new rows in a database. For more information, see Exporting Data from the MATLAB Workspace to a New Record in a Database in the Database Toolbox documentation.
You now can use Display menu items in the VQB with structure and numeric formats for retrieved data as specified in Preferences or with setdbprefs. In previous releases, you could use Display menu items only for the cell array format.
You now can use the VQB for tables and fields that contain spaces in their names. They appear inside quotation marks in the VQB lists.
When you double-click a variable in the Data field of the VQB, it now opens in the Array Editor. In previous versions, the contents displayed in the Command Window. You still can display the contents in the Command Window by typing the variable name in the Command Window.
In the VQB, when you edit the SQL statement field, the query represented by the other fields does not match what is in the SQL statement field. When you then select Query > Save, it saves exactly that mismatch. When you then load that saved query, you again see the mismatch. When you execute it, it updates, theSQL statement field to match the values in the other fields for that query.
This represents a change from previous versions in which the SQL statement field updated to reflect the values in the other fields when you loaded the query, rather than when you executed it.
Because of changes made to the MATLAB Compiler, you can compile Database Toolbox functions to create stand-alone applications that do not require the MATLAB software.
On Linux platforms, logintimeout is not supported.
Previously, if you retrieved a BOOLEAN field from a database using fetch, the values were returned as true or false strings. Now they are returned as 1's and 0's, and are of the MATLAB logical data type. For more information, see Importing BOOLEAN Data from Databases to the MATLAB Workspace in the Database Toolbox documentation, and the fetch and insert function reference pages.
If you have M-files that rely upon the string values for data being true or false, you need to modify your code to use 1 and 0 instead.
