Question

I use Matlab’s Database Toolbox to extract data from a SQL Server database. Today the database admin created a new table, but I can’t seem to access it. The new table contains a schema called dbo, and when I try to access it using Matlab’s querybuilder tool, the tool gives the following error:
Unable to get table information from data source
I can access other tables in the database without a problem. Any idea what is causing this problem? I don’t have enough familiarity with SQL to diagnose it.

Have the admin check that this new table has the same permissions and attributes of a table that you know is working. If the permissions are messed up, you would not be able to retrieve metadata about it.
