We have recently developed an interface to PostgreSQL for Matlab.
The interface is implemented as 'C' mex wrappers around libpq. Most of the
database connection and query execution functions are implemented, and it
supports default (text) and binary transfers directly into Matlab variables
(including text, integer, and floating point arrays).
The functions have been tested on Linux, SGI 32 bit, and Windows
architectures. Other architectures should be trivial to support - just a
matter of compiling.
We would like to make this interface freely available, and would like to
know how much interest there would be in the interface. Also, would it be
worthwhile to package and make available with PostgreSQL.
Any comments?
