No “sqlread” in Matlab 2019a Database Toolbox?

Question

Our shop just upgraded to Matlab 2019a, and I'm bumbling around the import of MySQL/MariaDB data ( *.frm files). I found myself to the sqlread tutorial. I have yet to fully plumb the machinations behind the database command to set up a connection, but in messing around, I seem to have discovered that I don't have an sqlread function. This is odd, as I have the Database Toolbox:

'sqlread' not found.

Why would this not be available?

Answer 1

TMW investigated and reported that sqlread becomes available after setting up a data source.

Unfortunately, the next road block that I'm confronting is setting up the data source .

My question about a simpler alternative to import MySQL data into Matlab still stands.

Thanks.
