Database Toolbox

Setting Up a Data Source

Before you can connect from the Database Toolbox to a database, you need to set up a data source. A data source consists of data that you want the toolbox to access, and information about how to find the data, such as driver, directory, server, or network names. You assign a name to each data source.

The instructions for setting up a data source differ depending on your configuration. Use one of these sets of instructions:

• For MATLAB Windows platforms whose database resides on that PC or on another system to which the PC is networked via ODBC drivers, see Setting Up a Data Source for ODBC Drivers below.
• For MATLAB platforms that connect to a database via a JDBC driver, see Setting Up a Data Source for JDBC Drivers.
