Hi there,

I have a problem with a new install of the database toolbox.

I just installed the database toolbox. The first thing I did
was run the 'vqbdemo'.

This opened the querybuilder gui, and I promptly forgot
about the gui and started exploring.  I went to set the ODBC
data source (Query > Set ODBC Datasource), then went and
chose "Oracle9i" from the list on the 3rd(?) tab on the
datasource window.

I clicked apply, and closed the dialog box. When I exited, I
got a warning message saying something along the lines of
"The sample database source is needed to run the demo".

Now however, whenever I invoke "querybuilder", the gui never
loads. It just sits there until I Ctrl+C back to the matlab
command prompt.

The error message says the following:
---------------------------
??? Operation terminated by user during ==> fgetl at 34

In ==> getdatasources at 29
      hdr = fgetl(fid);

In ==> querybuilder at 36
[datasources,jdbcinfo] = getdatasources;
---------------------------

I have just tried reinstalling the database toolbox, but the
problem remains.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks,
Sven.
