Connect to a Microsoft® SQL Server® database and verify the database connection. Then, import data from the database into MATLAB®. Determine the highest unit cost among the retrieved products in the table. Close the database connection.

Create an ODBC database connection to a Microsoft® SQL Server® database with Windows® authentication. Specify a blank user name and password. The database contains the table productTable.

datasource = 'MS SQL Server Auth';
conn = database(datasource,'','');

Check the database connection. If the Message property is empty, the connection is successful.

conn.Message

ans =

     []

Determine if the database connection is open. The isopen function returns the numeric scalar 1, which means the database connection is open.

i = isopen(conn)

i =

     1

Select all the data from productTable and sort it by the product number. data is a table containing the imported data that results from executing the SQL SELECT statement.

selectquery = 'SELECT * FROM productTable ORDER BY productNumber';
data = select(conn,selectquery);

Display the first three rows of data.

data(1:3,:)

ans =

Determine the highest unit cost in the table.

Close the database connection.

close(conn)

Determine if the database connection is closed. The isopen function returns the numeric scalar 0, which means the database connection is closed. If the database connection is invalid, the isopen function returns the same result.

i = isopen(conn)

i =

     0
