How to connect to MySQL using QODBC

[gor kogalo]

hello every one. I am new in Qt. I am trying to connect to Mysql using QODBC. her is the code.

QSqlDatabase db = QSqldatabase::addDatabase("QODBC");

db.setDatabaseName("Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver}; DATABASE=localhost;");

db.setUserName("root");

db.setPAssword("gordo");

if(!db.open())

{

......

}

the error which i am getting is undefined reference to '_imp__ZN12QSqlDatabase17defaultConnectionE'.
where can the problem be?

Have you added the sql module to your .pro file?
@
QT += sql
@
If yes, re-run qmake.

Thanks very much for your contribution. I have added the module and it runs smoothly.

Note that Qt also supports connecting to MySQL using native drivers. If possible for your use case, then I would prefer that over going through ODBC.

How do i use the native driver instead? Should I add it to the make file of the project like like I did to sql module?

You should begin by reading "this":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/sql-driver.html#qmysql

My apologies to get this post alive again...
Just curious about this line:

db.setDatabaseName("Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver}; DATABASE=localhost;");

What is the string to make connection with MariaDB?
Thanks
