    in fact for the data structure when I try to create a table and its values it does not work, here is my query:

        base = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");
        base.setDatabaseName("AMIS");
        if(base.open()){
    
            QSqlQuery query(base);
            qDebug() << query.exec("CREATE TABLE `test`.`amis` ( `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , `nom` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL , `image` BLOB NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY (`id`)) ");
        }
    

    I always have false as the answer to the console output so my table is not created,

    I even tried to remove the apostrophes on name, id and image but it still doesn't work.

    Anybody got any ideas?

      Well, first I'd say:
      General advice is always use prepared statements.
      Prepare: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5609245/qsqlquery-prepared-statements-proper-usage

      More general advice is figure out the actual query you sent the engine by firing a verbatim copy of the query generated in your application directly @ the engine without the application.

      So, how I see it:

      • Determine the actual statement
      • run it at the engine (using with command line or query / db engine tools and see the response - independent from your application anyhow).
      • Witness the engine response as a result of your statement (I'm expecting a syntax error as it seems you are too)
      • This will lead you to the reasons what is not being correctly done in your application.
      • Fix the application statement
      • Try again

      I suspect it would be a parsing error as you're playing with the single quotes but cannot say. I also won't troubleshoot what seems just syntax/parsing... that's for you to determine / observe.

        Hey, family,

        After a lot of testing, I understood that my database and my amis table are created but except that the amis table contains no columns so no fields.
        I tried to add the plugin qsqlited.dll and qsqlmysqld.dll since I compiled in debug mode but my amis table is still empty so no amis.
        Here's my code:

         QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");
            db.setDatabaseName("base_de_donnees2.db");
            db.open();
            if(!db.isOpen())
                qDebug() << "ERREUR d'ouverture de la base de données; cause: " << db.lastError().text();
            QSqlQuery q;
            q.exec("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS amis (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, nom TEXT NOT NULL, photo BLOB NOT NULL) ");
        
            QSqlQuery q2;
            q2.prepare("INSERT INTO amis (id,nom,photo) VALUES (:id,:nom,:photo) ");
        
            int identifiant = 1;
            QString pseudo("EL-chrino");
            QFile fichier(QFileDialog::getOpenFileName());
            fichier.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
            QByteArray byte;
            if(!fichier.isOpen())
                qDebug() << "Echec d'ouverture du fichier";
            byte = fichier.readAll();
        
            q2.bindValue(":id",identifiant);
            q2.bindValue(":nom",pseudo);
            q2.bindValue(":photo",byte);
        
            if(!q2.exec())
                qDebug() << "ERREUR lors de l'exécution de la requête; cause: " << q2.lastError().text();
        
        

        Note that I have never used databases with Qt so I don't know how it works, please tell me what I need to do to use databases with Qt as it will be very important for my chatt software.
        Thank you in advance

          I found in a forum, they say you need to recompile Qt and SQL Drive but it doesn't explain how to do it.

          Please if there is someone who knows how to make it watch you manifest

            Hi
            For QSQLITE
            you need to compile nothing or add any libraries.
            just
            QT += sql
            in your .pro file

              Thank you very much for your advice, but I have two questions;
              first how to update a QscrollArea that already contains elements beforehand?
              and the second is how to make a message waiting list like this if a client "A" has just logged out and another client "B" sends him a message, that the message is in a list to wait for the client "A" to read it.
              like whatsapp or facebook notification when someone sends us a message while we're away, the message is kept until we read it?

                Hi,

                You just append new widgets to the layout that already contains the others.

                As for the messages, if you are thinking on how it’s working on mobile platform, you’ll have several things to take into consideration.

                So some questions for you:

                • On what platform(s) is your application going to run ?
                • How are the client going to talk to each other ?

                  Regarding the update of my scroollArea, I don't want to add elements but rather delete completely what it already contains.

                  then for the messages I want my application to run all over the platform but first on Pc using the windows operating system.

                  for my clients, I use TCP/ip protocol so with QTcpSocket class

                    The most elegant would likely be to have the messages stored in a model and then have a custom QStyledItemDelegate to paint whatever you want.

                    Again: how are you client talking to each other ? Through a central server ? How do they know each other ?

                      Hi,

                      Yes I use a server for the dialog between client, this means that if a client'A' sends a message to client'B', it will first go through the server then the server will send me to the destination so client'B'.

                            In fact I want to make sure that if we send a message to a client that is not connected, that this client sees the message that has been sent as soon as it is connected.

                              Then the central server must store the message. When the client comes online, the server can deliver the message to the client.

                                ahhhhh yes you're right, so I can store the message in a database at the server level then as soon as the concerned client is connected the server will be able to restore the message then send it to the client, thank you very much.

                                then a second unresolved problem so far;
                                here I have a scrollArea which first contains many widgets of different type, so I want to delete either empty all these widgets and left the scrollArea blank so without element,
                                how do I do that?

                                      Hi
                                      Are the widgets not in a layout ?
                                      You can clear layout with

                                      void clearLayout(QLayout *layout)
                                          QLayoutItem *item;
                                          while((item = layout->takeAt(0))) {
                                              if (item->layout()) {
                                                  clearLayout(item->layout());
                                                  delete item->layout();
                                              }
                                              if (item->widget()) {
                                                  delete item->widget();
                                              }
                                              delete item;
                                          }
                                      }

                                        Thank you for your code.
                                        theoretically it works but not in practice according to my example, here is a little project I created to test your code:
