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:

  • DataSourceName — Name of the data source

  • Vendor — Database vendor name

  • DatabaseName — Name of the database

  • Server — Name of the database server

  • PortNumber — Port number

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.
