Working with Database Explorer

4-3

• If you use VQB to export data from MATLAB to your database, use the command-line

functions datainsert or fastinsert.

• If you use VQB to generate reports, use MATLAB reporting and plotting functionality

to generate reports. You can also use MATLAB Report Generator™ to generate

reports.

• If you use VQB to display charts, use the MATLAB plotting tools to generate charts

and graphics.

• If you generate MATLAB files using VQB, open Database Explorer and recreate your

SQL query. Use Database Explorer to generate a script (.m file) that includes your

SQL query, preference settings, and connection.

• If you save your SQL queries using VQB, open Database Explorer and recreate your

SQL query. Use Database Explorer to generate a script with just your SQL query.

Save the SQL script file with a .sql extension in MATLAB.
