Error using database toolbox - Can't even connect to "dbtoolboxdemo" database

Hi Everyone,

I just installed the Database toolbox and am having a lot of trouble even establishing a connection to the dbtoolboxdemo database. I use the command:

conn = database.ODBCConnection('dbtoolboxdemo','admin','admin')

and I get this error message:

 Undefined variable "com" or class
"com.mathworks.toolbox.database.databaseConnect".

Error in ==> database.database at 85 conn=com.mathworks.toolbox.database.databaseConnect(instance,UserName,Password);

Perhaps I am missing some necessary drivers? Thank you very much for your help!!

You need to setup the dbtoolboxdemo database before establishing a connection. Refer to the link given below for instructions on how to setup the database

Set Up the dbtoolboxdemo Data Source

Sara : Could you eventually able to connect to Sql Server from Matlab.

For me when I use the native ODBC connection .. I get the following error conn = database.ODBCConnection('dbtoolboxdemo','admin','admin');

Undefined variable "database" or class "database.ODBCConnection"
