arrayDatastore — Create a datastore for an in-memory array.

arrayDatastore(A) retains an in-memory array together with ReadSize, IterationDimension, and OutputType properties. Integer A remains in its exact native class.

Syntax

arrds = arrayDatastore(A)
arrds = arrayDatastore(A, nameValuePairs...)

Inputs

NameTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
AAnyYes—In-memory array managed by the datastore.
nameValuePairsAnyVariadic—ReadSize, IterationDimension, or OutputType options.

Returns

NameTypeDescription
arrdsAnyArrayDatastore object retaining the in-memory data and read properties.

Errors

RunMat:table:InvalidVariableA table variable name or value is invalid.table: invalid variable
RunMat:readtable:IOErrorreadtable cannot open or read the requested file.readtable: file read failed
RunMat:readtable:UnsupportedFileTypereadtable receives a file type outside the text or spreadsheet import backends.readtable: unsupported file type

How arrayDatastore works

  • ReadSize and IterationDimension must be positive integer-valued doubles; typed-integer controls reject. OutputType is "cell" or "same", and "same" requires iteration dimension 1.
  • Interactive resident input is a mode-gated RunMat extension. It gathers exact typed storage before host object construction and rejects in MATLAB-compatible mode.
  • RunMat currently represents this as a value descriptor whose Data property exposes the retained payload. Stateful iterator operations such as read, readall, preview, hasdata, and reset require a datastore handle/dispatch layer and are not yet provided.

Example

Retain typed data with explicit read properties

ds = arrayDatastore(int16([1;2]), 'ReadSize', 2, 'OutputType', 'same')

Expected output:

ds = arrayDatastore object

Using arrayDatastore with coding agents

Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how arrayDatastore changes the result.

Run a small arrayDatastore example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.
