Create, configure, test, and save a PostgreSQL native interface data source for a PostgreSQL database.

Create a PostgreSQL native interface data source for a PostgreSQL native interface database connection.

vendor = "PostgreSQL";
opts = databaseConnectionOptions("native",vendor)

opts = 
  SQLConnectionOptions with properties:

              DataSourceName: ""
                      Vendor: "PostgreSQL"

                DatabaseName: ""
                      Server: "localhost"
                  PortNumber: 5432

opts is an SQLConnectionOptions object with these properties:

Configure the data source by setting the database connection options for the data source PostgreSQLDataSource, database name toystore_doc, database server dbtb00, and port number 5432.

opts = setoptions(opts, ...
    'DataSourceName',"PostgreSQLDataSource", ...
    'DatabaseName',"toystore_doc",'Server',"dbtb00", ...
    'PortNumber',5432)

opts = 
  SQLConnectionOptions with properties:

              DataSourceName: "PostgreSQLDataSource"
                      Vendor: "PostgreSQL"

                DatabaseName: "toystore_doc"
                      Server: "dbtb00"
                  PortNumber: 5432

The setoptions function sets the DataSourceName, DatabaseName, Server, and PortNumber properties in the SQLConnectionOptions object.

Test the database connection with a user name and password. The testConnection function returns the logical 1, which indicates the database connection is successful.

username = "dbdev";
password = "matlab";
status = testConnection(opts,username,password)

status = logical
   1

Save the configured data source.

saveAsDataSource(opts)

You can connect to the new data source using the postgresql function or the Database Explorer app.

Edit an existing PostgreSQL native interface data source for a PostgreSQL database. Set an additional driver-specific option and save the data source.

Retrieve the existing PostgreSQL data source PostgreSQLDataSource.

datasource = "PostgreSQLDataSource";
opts = databaseConnectionOptions(datasource)

opts = 
  SQLConnectionOptions with properties:

              DataSourceName: "PostgreSQLDataSource"
                      Vendor: "PostgreSQL"

                DatabaseName: "toystore_doc"
                      Server: "dbtb00"
                  PortNumber: 5432

opts is an SQLConnectionOptions object with these properties:

Add a driver-specific connection option by using a name-value pair argument. The option specifies a timeout value for establishing the database connection. opts contains a new section of properties for the additional connection option.

opts = setoptions(opts,"connect_timeout",20)

opts = 
  SQLConnectionOptions with properties:

              DataSourceName: "PostgreSQLDataSource"
                      Vendor: "PostgreSQL"

                DatabaseName: "toystore_doc"
                      Server: "dbtb00"
                  PortNumber: 5432

	Additional Connection Options:

             connect_timeout: 20

Test the database connection with a user name and password. The testConnection function returns the logical 1, which indicates the database connection is successful.

username = "dbdev";
password = "matlab";
status = testConnection(opts,username,password)

status = logical
   1

Save the updated data source.

saveAsDataSource(opts)
