Does anyone know how to connect to an ODBC database in Octave? The database package doesn't seem to install properly. I found this bug here:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30090
Is there any other method? I am actually trying to connect to SQL Server and am using Windows 7 (not linux unfortunately, at my work place!).
If not, are there any other matlab type programming environments out there that anyone would recommend?
A looong time ago I wrote a connector for Octave to PostgreSQL (which is still on its webpage here). Maybe you could use that a starting point?
