    No, Visual Studio is not part of the Qt installation, it's a Microsoft Product. You can either download it from Microsoft's website or change your Qt installation to use the mingw version which includes the mingw compiler.

    1. You receive this error because you don't have Visual Studio installed so none of the tools you'll need are on your system.

    2. Yes, the driver is not even compiled

    3. You need to first get it compiled. Then you can list all available database drivers with QSqlDatabase::drivers()

      thanks for input. if i could get around installation of VS it would be great.

      i made some progress. i found out that instead of running "nmake", this command could be replace by mingw32-make, for the mingw compiler. i run this and i got the following error:

      mingw32-make -f Makefile.Release all
      mingw32-make1: Entering directory ‘C:/Qt/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/

      any idea how to get over? the QPSQL driver is not loaded yet.

        Search where is libqp-fe.h located and add that path either in INCLUDEPATH in psql.pro or when running qmake

          You have a spaces in includepath to pg(Program Files for example). From command line try this:
          @
          qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=$$quote("path to include") ...
          @

              From what I have seen previously, the developer libraries does not come default with some PostgreSQL installs. If you want to just create an application that uses PostgreSQL I suggest that you download the developer pre-build dlls from PostgreSQL.

              Note the disclaimer on http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/:
              "Advanced users can also download a "zip archive":http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgbindownload of the binaries, without the installer. This is not recommended for normal installations, it is intended for users who wish to include PostgreSQL as part of another application installer."

              Click on the "zip archive" link above and download the correct archive that you need.

              Also, the path should not contain back slashes (''), you should either escape them (replace '' with '\') or replace them with forward slashes ('/').

              [quote author="avpro" date="1370168642"]i tried
              [quote]qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=$$quote("path to include") ...[/quote]
              but the syntax might be incomplete. one " is missing, the one opened at "INCLUDEPATH...
              [/quote]

              Make sure that you have a quote (") after the command to close the quotes started before the INCLUDEPATH. Something in the line of:

              @qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=$$quote("path to include")"@

              Personally I extarct the binaries into a path without spaces (it helps a lot to simplify things) and then just replace the back- ('') with forward ('/') slashes in your original path, pointing to the extracted lib.

              Hope this helps

                the libs are not standard installed with psql, but they could be installed if the custom installation option is selected, and than select them.

                i replaced the "" with "/".
                i tried to use the correct command line as described above, and error:

                "can't find .... \include."
                "missing closing parenthesis in function call"
                what's wrong?

                  what is the exact command that you executed? Something like the following should work:
                  @

                  qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:/psql/include" "LIBS+=C:/psql/lib/ms/libpq.lib" psql.pro
                  @

                  Or

                  @

                  qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:\psql\include" "LIBS+=C:\psql\lib\ms\libpq.lib" psql.pro
                  @

                  I have been using the second one for my PostgreSQL plugin for long now without any problems.

                    i think this is not much different from my previous post. SGaist suggested:
                    "Search where is libqp-fe.h located and add that path either in INCLUDEPATH in psql.pro or when running qmake"

                    and i said that "i couldn’t find any libqp-fe.h neither in the postgresql directory, nor in QT. "
                    i don't have this file.

                    i think worth to mentioned is the path ....C:\psql\lib\ms\libpq.lib" psql.pro. this folder "ms" is missing. the file libpq.lib is located directly in folder "lib". so i skipped this folder in my command.

                    any idea how to continue, and install this psql driver for QT?
                    thanks for your input.

                      If possible, reinstall postgresql in a path without spaces, that will make you life easier. Otherwise you have to give the old 8.3 name to avoid the space problem.

                        Here is your problem:
                        [quote author="avpro" date="1370459887"]
                        C:\Qt\Qt5.0.2\5.0.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\psql>qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C

                        -I"C:\program" -I"files\postgresql\9.2\include"

                        [/quote]
                        Because there is spaces in the path to your PostgreSQL install and you did not escape it properly (a user commented on how to handle spaces) the compiler splits your include path at the space and include the above 2 paths, instead of the one that you wanted.

                        So the solution is to either use this comment (read up on the "$$quote()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmake-function-reference.html#quote-string command):
                        [quote author="Hostel" date="1370131524"]You have a spaces in includepath to pg(Program Files for example). From command line try this:

                        qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=$$quote("path to include") ...
                        @
                        [/quote]

                        Or the one that I would follow, and the easiest one for future:

                          I come back with more details:

                          bq.
                          If possible, reinstall postgresql in a path without spaces, that will make you life easier. Otherwise you have to give the old 8.3 name to avoid the space problem.

                          I reinstalled Posgresql in a folder without spaces.

                          i run the qmake command once again, and after the mingw32-make.
                          this is what it resulted:

                          any idea how this could be resolved?

                          i found "here":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-9032?actionOrder=desc this report, but i think is for linux.
                          any experience how to step over this error?

                          thank you all.

                            hi,

                            i would like to restart the thread. in this moment i'm in the following point:

                            1. i reinstalled PostgreSQL in "C:\psql" to avoid any problems which might come up if Postgresql is installed in "space" separated path, like "C:\Program Files".
                            2. i copied libpq-fe.h, pg_config.h and postgres_ext.h from "c:\psql\include" to "C:\Qt\Qt5.0.2\5.0.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\psql"
                            3. i followed the procedure described "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/sql-driver.html#qpsql to create the QPSQL plugin
                            4. i replaced "nmake" with "mingw32-make" because i have the MinGw compiler.

                            Note: the commands are run from Qt's command line prepared by Qt installer.

                            this is the output:

                            thank you.

                              Did you put somewhere the path to libpq ?

                                you mean if I set up the user Environmental Variables?
                                yes, i did that too, for c:\psql\lib

                                  are you referring to your previous post
                                  bq. Search where is libqp-fe.h located and add that path either in INCLUDEPATH in psql.pro or when running qmake

                                  sorry, i'm not sure if i understand correctly: bq. Did you put somewhere the path to libpq ?
                                  could you please try once again?
                                  thanks.

                                    Sorry,
                                    Did you also do something like:
                                    @LIBS+=-LC:/psql/folder_where_libqp_can_be_found@

                                    in your pro file ?

                                        i integrated the LIBS+=-LC:/psql/folder_where_libqp_can_be_found
                                        in my psql.pro file like this:

                                        TARGET = qsqlpsql

                                        SOURCES = main.cpp
                                        OTHER_FILES += psql.json
                                        include(../../../sql/drivers/psql/qsql_psql.pri)

                                        PLUGIN_CLASS_NAME = QPSQLDriverPlugin
                                        include(../qsqldriverbase.pri)
                                        LIBS+=-LC:/psql/lib

                                        and got this output, surprisingly without errors; but the "driver not loaded" error still comes as soon as I test with

                                        1. which is the correct output?
                                        2. i think i should obtain the qsqlpsql.dll file after this is correctly created, which should be copied to c:[Qt]\mingw47_32\plugins\sqldrivers\

                                        what's wrong?
                                        thanks for your input

                                          I don't know if it's the copy/paste or something else, but you are having a lot of strange char in your mignw32-make output.

                                          And this line:
                                          @cc1plus.exe: warning: psql.pro: not a directory [enabled by default]@

                                          looks suspicious
