QMYSQL driver not loaded, but source file not found to rebuild

SGaist

By the way, the plugin sources are in qtbase.

@SGaist thanks, worked, but found another error saying that the Qt5 Kit is not a valid one. After a bit of searching, I had to install "qt5-default" to resolve this.

Thanks a lot.

SGaist

How did you setup Qt ?

Looks like you are mixing the one from your distribution and the one from the official installer.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What exactly don't work ?
What error are you getting ?
Did you follow the step by step guide I wrote earlier ?
If so, did one of the point fail at any time ?
What version of Qt are you using ?
On what OS ?
With what compiler ?

Did you also print the exact error you got ?

The plugin looks fine.

walter-j

the plugin looks fine but im still getting a error. i don'tknow exactly what wrong

SGaist

You are not use the MySQL driver and you are using the wrong name for the SQLite driver. It's QSQLITE .

walter-j

i tried mysql, sqlite, postgres i m having the same error

SGaist

Print the text returned by db.lastError()

Just saying that it doesn't work with the "Driver not loaded" message doesn't help much.

Based on your current code, it's not really surprising:

You gave the driver name wrong.
You are mixing the setup for the sqlite driver with the setup for a server based database.

One other important detail: do you have any of the SQL server running on your machine to connect to ? Is it properly configured ?

walter-j

Thank you dear friend .

You're right . the drivers names were wrong . it works now
