MATLAB: Are MAT-files locked when being read by MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a)

MATLAB

Does the LOAD command lock the MAT file? I have an application where a MAT-file lives on a server and is being pinged simultaneously by several MATLAB / MCR processes.

MATLAB: How to delete variables in the MAT-file without loading them into MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a)

MATLAB itself does not offer any functionality for deleting a particular variable from a MAT file.

However the MAT FILE API provides the matDeleteVariable function which allows you to delete a variable from a MAT file by its name. You can create a small MEX function in order to call matDeleteVariable. An example is attached.
