[SOLVED]MySQL driver

gpuckett54

I know this is subject has been beat to death and I have gone through all the posts regarding MySQL drivers. It appears that the usual solution is to rebuild the drivers. I really don't have that option.

I have Qt v5.3.1 MVSC2010 opengl 32-bit installed on Windows 7. I have been using sqllite with no problems other than lousy performance. I would like to switch to MySQL for the better tools and, hopefully, better performance. My goal is to use MySQL embedded but for the moment I just want to access the currently running server. The MySQL server that is running on localhost is 64-bit, but I downloaded the 32-bit version of MySQL v5.5 for compatibility with my application.

The database drivers were installed as a part of the pre-compiled install of Qt and the MySQL driver is in the same directory as the sqllite driver. Since sqllite was working fine I am assuming that my directory configuration is ok.

libmysql.dll is in the lib directory of the MySQL install so I added that directory to the path environment variable.

I am just attempting at the point to read an existing table from the server and display some results. My pro file is:

@QT += core
QT -= gui
QT += webkit webkitwidgets
QT += sql
TARGET = TestMySQLExample
CONFIG += console
TEMPLATE = app
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Progra~2\MySQL\MySQL~1.5\include"
LIBPATH += "C:\Progra~2\MySQL\MySQL~1.5\lib"
SOURCES += main.cpp@

main.cpp contains:

@#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QtSql/QSql>
#include <QtSql/QSqlDatabase>
#include <QtSql/QSqlDriver>
#include <QtSql/QSqlQuery>
#include <QtSql/QSqlError>
#include <QDebug>

bool createConnection();

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
if (!createConnection()){

    qDebug() << "Not connected!";
    return 1;
}
else{

    qDebug() << "Connected!";

    QSqlQuery query;
    query.exec&#40;"SELECT parcel_id FROM parcel_tbl"&#41;;
    int cnt = 0;

    while (query.next(&#41; && ++cnt < 100) {
        QString parcelID = query.value(0).toString();
        qDebug() << "parcel_id:" << parcelID;
    }

    return 0;
}

return app.exec&#40;&#41;;

}

bool createConnection(){
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL","CAMADB");
if(!db.isValid()) {
qDebug() << "Did not get a good connection to MySQL ";
return false;
}

db.setHostName("localhost");
db.setDatabaseName("cama");
db.setUserName("root");
db.setPassword("cama123");
if (!db.open()) {
    qDebug() << "Database error occurred";
    return false;
}
return true;

}

When I attempt to test the code I get:

@QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QODBC QODBC3 QPSQL QPSQL7
Did not get a good connection to MySQL
Not connected!@

I have output from plugin debug but it makes this post too long. I'll follow up with that.

I turned plugin debug on and get the following when I test:

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded@

I see what looks to me like a lot of error messages for all the drivers. But the sqllite driver works and has the same messages as the MySQL driver so I wouldn't think that is an issue. However I do see at the end where It says it can't load qsqlmysqld.dll although I have confirmed that it is there and just before that it said it was loaded. I don't have a clue how to fix this even after reviewing a lot of information on this and other forums.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

When you say that you added MySQL to the path environment variable, do you mean globally or in the run panel of your application ?

gpuckett54

I added it to the PATH environment variable. I checked the Run Environment for the project and verified that it picked up the latest changes to the environment variable in both the Build and Run configurations.

gpuckett54

I resolved the issue. I realized that since I had both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of MySQL installed on my machine I had to have the 64-bit version in the path. That is what was causing the connection to fail in my code. I changed the path in the project configuration to point to the 32-bit version of MySQL and it worked great.

I would rather be generating a 64-bit application but some of my 3rd party tools are only available in 32-bit so I am limited.

That's the eternal struggle…

When developing you should avoid modifying your system's PATH. Do it directly in the IDE. That way you ensure that you are not using accidentally the libraries of some third party application/framework.
