QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded?

Sorry, a mistake. Correct modification to *.pro is:

wince {
DEPLOYMENT_PLUGIN += qsqlite
# JDH added next
DEPLOYMENT_PLUGIN += qmysql
}

Did you add

QT += sql

in your pro file?
QT SQL

Hi,

Do you have the MySQL client library installed ?

jdent

Well, I see the files libqsqlmysql.dylib and libqsqlmysql_debug.dylib in the folder ~/Qt5.5.1/5.5/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers so I guess it is installed??

SGaist

No, those are the Qt plugins. You need to verify that your OS has the MySQL client libraries installed.

jdent

Well I can run Mysql workbench correctly... does not that mean the client tools are installed?

SGaist

No, it does not. Are you running OS X ?

jdent

YES OS X 10.11.3

SGaist

Then unless you installed it using brew/macports or the official MySQL package. You won't have the client library.

jdent

how can I ensure that I have the client libraries?

Hi,

I apologise for making a question that probably should be answered by MySQL web site but I have not found any answer .. maybe someone that has a lot of experience with MySql can find it very easy to direct my attention to where I can figure out if the client library is available. Does it need to be in a PATH or another environment variable? Do I place that in bash_profile or bashrc?

I downloaded the mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-osx10.8-x86_64 source and it has the following libraries in the lib subdir:

libmysqlclient.a
libmysqlclient.dylib
libmysqlclient.18.dylib
libmysqlclient_r.a
libmysqlclient_r.dylib
libmysqlclient_r.18.dylib

How do I put them so Qt Creator will find them? These ARE the client libraries right?

Thanks again!!
Juan

SGaist

Yes, these are the client libraries.

Now run otool -L path/to/qsqlmysql.dylib. You will get the list of dependencies of the plugin with an entry concerning the MySQL client library. You will have to run install_name_tool -change current/path/to/client_library your/path/to/client/library qsqlmysql.dylib
