Insert data from excel to a SQl database table

Hi,

I have many rows of data in an excel and I can read the excel data into a Matlab table. The table mirror a table in a SQl database table. How to import the entire Matlab table into the SQL table. I don't have database toolbox; but I have the connection conn.

Thanks in advance for all help.

I would like to know if there is any reason why you want to use MATLAB to read data and write into database?

If there is any processing involved in MATLAB, you can use "readtable" function to read the data into MATLAB from EXCEL, process it in MATLAB and then use "writetable" function to write the data into any file format (CSV/ TXT/XLS etc). Once you have the processed data in a file, you can use Import Wizard in SQL Server Management Studio or any application such as JAVA which can read data from that file and insert into SQL database.

Refer to the link below to 'readtable' function: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/readtable.html

Refer to the link below to 'writetable' function: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/writetable.html

However, if you would like to you use MATLAB to communicate with Database directly, you will need to install Database Toolbox.

For more information about the Database Toolbox, refer to the link below: https://www.mathworks.com/help/database/index.html

Thank you. The reason I want to use Matlab to insert into SQL database is because I try to skip the import wizard.
