Create MySQL native interface database connection

Syntax

conn = mysql(datasource,username,password)

conn = mysql(username,password,Name,Value)

Description

conn = mysql(datasource,username,password) creates a MySQL^® native interface database connection using the specified data source, user name, and password. conn is a connection object.

conn = mysql(username,password,Name,Value) creates a MySQL native interface database connection using the specified user name and password, with additional options specified by one or more name-value pair arguments. For example, "Server","dbtb00" specifies the database server name as dbtb00.

Examples

Connect to MySQL Database Using MySQL Native Interface

Create a MySQL® native interface connection to a MySQL database. Then, import data from the database into MATLAB® and perform simple data analysis. Close the database connection.

This example assumes that you are connecting to a MySQL database version 5.7.22 using the MySQL Connector/C++ driver version 8.0.15.

Connect to the database using the data source name, user name, and password.

datasource = "MySQLNative";
username = "root";
password = "matlab";

conn = mysql(datasource,username,password)

conn = 
  connection with properties:

                  DataSource: "MySQLNative"
                    UserName: "root"

  Database Properties:

                  AutoCommit: "on"
                LoginTimeout: 0
      MaxDatabaseConnections: 151

  Catalog and Schema Information:

              DefaultCatalog: "toystore_doc"
                    Catalogs: ["information_schema", "mysql", "performance_schema" ... and 3 more]
                     Schemas: []

  Database and Driver Information:

         DatabaseProductName: "MySQL"
      DatabaseProductVersion: "5.7.22"
                  DriverName: "MySQL Connector/C++"
               DriverVersion: "8.0.15"

The property sections of the connection object are:

• Database Properties — Information about the database configuration

• Catalog and Schema Information — Names of catalogs and schemas in the database

• Database and Driver Information — Names and versions of the database and driver

Import all data from the table inventoryTable into MATLAB using the sqlread function. Display the first three rows of data.

tablename = "inventoryTable";
data = sqlread(conn,tablename);
head(data,3)

ans=3×4 table
    productNumber    Quantity    Price        inventoryDate    
    _____________    ________    _____    _____________________

          1            1700      14.5     "2014-09-23 09:38:34"
          2            1200         9     "2014-07-08 22:50:45"
          3             356        17     "2014-05-14 07:14:28"

Determine the highest product quantity from the table.

max(data.Quantity)

ans = 9000

Close the database connection conn.

close(conn)

Connect to MySQL Database Using MySQL Native Interface and Additional Options

Create a MySQL® native interface connection to a MySQL database using name-value pair arguments. Then, import data from the database into MATLAB® and perform simple data analysis. Close the database connection.

This example assumes that you are connecting to a MySQL database version 5.7.22 using the MySQL Connector/C++ driver version 8.0.15.

Connect to the database using the user name and password shown. Specify the database server name dbtb01, database name toystore_doc, and port number 3306 by setting the corresponding name-value pair arguments.

username = "root";
password = "matlab";

conn = mysql(username,password,'Server',"dbtb01", ...
    'DatabaseName',"toystore_doc",'PortNumber',3306)

conn = 
  connection with properties:

                    Database: "toystore_doc"
                    UserName: "root"

  Database Properties:

                  AutoCommit: "on"
                LoginTimeout: 0
      MaxDatabaseConnections: 151
