Use a MySQL® native interface database connection to insert product data from MATLAB® into a new table in a MySQL database. Then, commit the changes to the database.

Create a MySQL native interface database connection to a MySQL database using the data source name, user name, and password. The database contains the tables productTable and suppliers.

datasource = "MySQLNative";
username = "root";
password = "matlab";
conn = mysql(datasource,username,password);

Allow manual committing of changes to the database by setting the AutoCommit property to off.

conn.AutoCommit = "off";

Create a MATLAB table that contains data for two products. The data is stored in the productTable and suppliers tables.

data = table([30;40],[500000;600000],[1000;2000],[25;30], ...
    ["Rubik's Cube";"Doll House"],'VariableNames',["productNumber" ...
    "stockNumber" "supplierNumber" "unitCost" "productDescription"]);

Insert the product data into a new table named toyTable.

tablename = "toyTable";
sqlwrite(conn,tablename,data)

Import the contents of the database table into MATLAB and display the rows. The results contain two rows for the inserted products.

rows = sqlread(conn,tablename)
rows=2×5 table
    productNumber    stockNumber    supplierNumber    unitCost    productDescription
    _____________    ___________    ______________    ________    __________________
