You can save your preferences to a MAT-file to use them in future MATLAB sessions.

the preferences to the variable FetchLargeData and save them to a MAT-file
FetchLargeDataPrefs in your current folder.
FetchLargeData = setdbprefs;
save FetchLargeDataPrefs.mat FetchLargeData
Later, load the data and restore the preferences.
load FetchLargeDataPrefs.mat
setdbprefs(FetchLargeData)
