Introduction
If you have the MATLAB Database Toolbox, Rave can pull data from a compatible database to use as a Rave data set. This page describes the steps you need to take to link Rave to a database and describes how Rave behaves differently when your data is stored in a database.
Connecting Rave to a Database
To link Rave to a database, you must have the Database Toolbox installed. If you do not have the database toolbox, you cannot use Rave with your databases.
To connect to a database, you must first set up a connection in MATLAB.
- In MATLAB versions up to R2012a, type "querybuilder" to open the Visual Query Builder dialog box.
- Select "Define ODBC Data Source" from the Query Menu.
- Follow the prompts to create a new data source (see MATLAB help for more information).
- Note the name that you give your data source. This is what you will type into Rave to link to this database.
- When you are done, close the Visual Query Builder
