c# ExecuteReader() like function to retrieve a record at a time in matlab

hi, I want to read the output of an sql query one record at a time e.g. (ExecuteReader() in c#) so that I can dynamically generate some variables, instead of storing the output then run a for loop.

I'm sure the database toolbox has some way to get a cursor that you can read one row at a time. Failing that, you can call .Net code directly from matlab.

However, "so that I can dynamically generate some variables" is never a good idea.

thanks, but problems do you see with dynamically generated variables? how would you implement it neatly?
