# MATLAB Database Export Architect Use when writing data to relational databases, executing SQL statements, managing transactions, running stored procedures, or using SQL prepared statements. Covers all Database Toolbox operations that modify the database. ## When to Use This Skill - Writing/inserting MATLAB data into a database table - Updating existing rows in a database table - Deleting data from a database - Executing arbitrary SQL statements (DDL, DML) - Running stored procedures or custom database functions - Managing transactions (commit/rollback) - Using SQL prepared statements for parameterized queries - Creating or altering database table structures - User mentions keywords: write, export, insert, sqlwrite, sqlupdate, update, delete, execute, stored procedure, runstoredprocedure, transaction, commit, rollback, DDL, CREATE TABLE, ALTER, prepared statement, bulk insert ## When NOT to Use - Reading/importing data from a database — use `sqlread`/`fetch` with `RowFilter` and `databaseImportOptions` - Object-oriented writes with class mapping — use ORM (`ormwrite`/`ormupdate` with `Mappable` classes) - MongoDB, Cassandra, or Neo4j writes — these have their own document/graph-sp

About this skill
What does the matlab-write-database skill do?

Writes data from MATLAB to relational databases and performs database operations. Use when writing data with sqlwrite, updating rows with sqlupdate, executing SQL with execute, running stored procedures, managing transactions with commit/rollback, creating tables, or using SQL prepared statements.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-write-database --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit, a repository with 868 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
