MySQL JDBC for Windows

This tutorial shows how to set up a data source and connect to a

MySQL® database using the Database Explorer app or the command line. This

tutorial uses the MySQL Connector/J 5.1.46 driver to connect to a MySQL Version 5.5.16 database.

Step 1. Verify the driver installation.

If the JDBC driver for MySQL is not installed on your computer, find the link on the Driver Installation page to install the driver. Follow the instructions

to download and install this driver on your computer.Step 2. Set up the data source.

You set up a data source using the Database Explorer app or the command

line.Set Up Data Source Using Database Explorer App

Open the Database Explorer app by clicking the Apps tab on the MATLAB® Toolstrip. Then, on the right of the Apps section, click the Show more arrow to open the apps gallery. Under Database Connectivity and Reporting, click Database Explorer. Alternatively, enter databaseExplorer at the command line.

In the Data Source section, select Configure Data Source > Configure JDBC data source.

The JDBC Data Source Configuration dialog box opens.

In the Name box, enter the name of your data

source. (This example uses a data source named

MySQL.) You use this name to establish a connection

to your database.

From the Vendor list, select

MySQL.

In the Driver Location box, enter the full path

to the JDBC driver file.

In the Database box, enter the name of your

database. In the Server box, enter the name of your

database server. Consult your database administrator for the name of

your database server. In the Port Number box, enter

the port number.

Under Connection Options, in the Name column,

enter the name of an additional driver-specific option. Then, in the

Value column, enter the value of the driver-specific option. Click

the plus sign + to specify additional driver-specific options.

Click Test. The Test Connection dialog box

opens. Enter the user name and password for your database, or leave

these boxes blank if your database does not require them. Click

Test.

If your connection succeeds, the Database Explorer dialog box displays

a message indicating the connection is successful. Otherwise, it

displays an error message.

Click Save. The JDBC Data Source Configuration

dialog box displays a message indicating the data source is saved

successfully. Close this dialog box.Set Up Data Source Using Command Line

Create a JDBC data source for a MySQL database.

vendor = "MySQL";

opts = databaseConnectionOptions("jdbc",vendor);

Set the JDBC connection options. For example, this code assumes that

you are connecting to a JDBC data source named MySQL,

full path of the JDBC driver file

C:\Drivers\mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar,

database name toystore_doc, database server

dbtb01, and port number

3306.

opts = setoptions(opts, ...

'DataSourceName',"MySQL", ...

'JDBCDriverLocation',"C:\Drivers\mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar", ...

'DatabaseName',"toystore_doc",'Server',"dbtb01", ...

'PortNumber',3306);

Test the database connection by specifying the user name

username and password pwd, or

leave these arguments blank if your database does not require

them.

username = "username";

password = "pwd";

status = testConnection(opts,username,password);

Save the JDBC data source.

saveAsDataSource(opts)

After you complete the data source setup, connect to the MySQL database using the Database Explorer app or the JDBC driver and

command line.Step 3. Connect using the Database Explorer app or the command line.Connect to MySQL Using Database Explorer App

On the Database Explorer tab, in the Connections

section, click Connect and select the data source for the

connection.

In the connection dialog box, enter a user name and password, or leave

these boxes blank if your database does not require them. Click

Connect.

The Catalog and Schema dialog box opens.

In the Catalog list, select the catalog. Click

OK.

The app connects to the database and displays its tables in the

Data Browser pane. A data source tab appears to

the right of the pane. The title of the data source tab is the data

source name that you defined during the setup. The data source tab

contains empty SQL Query and Data

Preview panes.

Select tables in the Data Browser pane to query

the database.

Close the data source tab to close the SQL query. In the Connections section, close the database connection by clicking Close Connection.

Note

If multiple connections are open, close the database connection of your choice by

selecting the corresponding data source from the Close Connection

list.Connect to MySQL Using JDBC Driver and Command Line

Connect to a MySQL database using the configured JDBC data source, user name

username, and password

pwd.

datasource = "MySQL";

username = "username";

password = "pwd";

conn = database(datasource,username,password);

Close the database connection.

close(conn)
