SciMysql : Mysql for Scilab and storing result set in a matrix

[Christophe]

Is there a way to fetch the full content of a query result, or a certain 
number of rows predefined, into a matrix or a list using SciMysql in Scilab?
Right now the only way I can do that is to loop through the content 
which is an inconvenient way to work with large dataset.

I think R has a fetch command that does that. But also the Scilab 
ReadXls function does load the content of a spreadsheet into 2 matrix a 
number matric and a text matrix, which could be useful as well here.

Thanks

Christophe
