Returned format of Database Toolbox is inconsistent on different machines

I am running the same MATLAB script on two Windows machine to fetch data from my database. The return format is "cell" on one machine and "table" on another. I am using MATLAB R2018a on both machines.

MATLAB R2018a was the last release to use the 'DataReturnFormat' preference to determine what data type the 'fetch' method returns. You should be able to find this preference in the MATLAB Preferences panel.

Another function that could be useful in MATLAB R2018a is the "setdbprefs", please refer to the link below for detailed information:
