Getting Started with Visual Query Builder

What Is Visual Query Builder?

Visual Query Builder (VQB) is an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for exchanging data with your database. You can use VQB to:

• Build queries to retrieve data by selecting information from lists instead of using MATLAB functions.

• Store data retrieved from a database in a MATLAB cell array, structure, or numeric matrix.

• Process the retrieved data using the MATLAB suite of functions.

• Display retrieved information in relational tables, reports, and charts.

• Export data from the MATLAB workspace into new rows in a database.
