What Is Visual Query Builder?
Visual Query Builder (VQB) is an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for
exchanging data with your database. To start VQB, use querybuilder. 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.
Using Queries to Import Data
The following steps summarize how to use VQB to import data.
