    Did you install the plugin ?

    Did you also check that the PATH environment variable in the Run part of the Project panel contains the folder where the MySQL .dlls can be found ?

      How can I install the plugin? Where can the plugin be found? What does it look like? Where does Qt look for the plugin?

      Why does the Qt runtime tell me the QMYSQL driver is available while the driver cannot be loaded? Is there any way to see why the driver did not load?

      Is there a guide anywhere that works with the current version of myqsl and the current version of Qt? This guide is for mysql version 5.1: https://forum.qt.io/topic/40672/how-to-create-the-plugin-of-mysql-for-qt

      Am I the first one that tries to use Qt 5 and mysql server 8?

      Cheers,
      Cedric

        It's explained in the documentation
        In the plugins subfolder of your Qt installation under sqldrivers.
        It's a .dll file since you're on Windows.
        Qt looks for the plugins in the subfolder named plugins unless you tweaked the qt.conf file.

        Likely because it can find the plugin but will fail to load it. Most of the time it happens because the MySQL .dll files can't be found at run time hence my suggestion in my last post.

        The current Qt documentation does.

        No you're note, however MySQL server 8 saw a change in their support for their my_bool custom type. There's a patch to support build the Qt MySQL plugin with MySQL 8.

          Thanks for your reply.

          The documentation you linked (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#building-the-drivers) assumes mysql is installed in c:\mysql. This is not the case for a default installation of mysql8, as it installs itself into c:\program files and c:\program files (x86). This leads me to the conclusion that the install instructions on that page are outdated.

          Do you know any instructions for building the plugin for qt5 and mysql 8?

          Cheers,
          Cedric

            The doc says:

            You need to get the MySQL installation files. Run SETUP.EXE and choose "Custom Install". Install the "Libs & Include Files" Module. Build the plugin as follows (here it is assumed that MySQL is installed in C:\MySQL):
            

            This simply means that it assumes that the user selected that folder to install MySQL.

            Then:

            cd %QTDIR%\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
            qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR=C:/MySQL/include "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:/MYSQL/MySQL Server <version>/lib/opt"
            nmake sub-mysql
            

            It shows that the build is configured to use that folder.

            If you put MySQL somewhere else, update the command accordingly to use that folder.

              I have done the steps again:
              c:\Qt\5.11.1\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="c:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="c:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1"\lib
              and
              mingw32-make

              After this, there's no mysql.dll below C:\Qt\5.11.1\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers (in fact, there's no mysql.dll on my entire C:\ drive)

              However, this directory is newly created:
              C:\Qt\5.11.1\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\plugins\sqldrivers
              it contains the following files: (and a few extra files with sqlite in the name)
              qsqlmysql.dll
              qsqlmysqld.dll
              qsqlodbc.dll
              qsqlodbcd.dll

              Where do I put these?

                mingw32-make install
                

                as shown in the documentation...

                  Thanks jsulm,

                  I've just done the mingw32-make install, but my Qt program does not load the driver yet.
                  I've installed Process monitor (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon) to monitor the syscalls from my application. I've done the following steps with it:
                  1-run procmon.exe
                  2-choose filter-reset filter
                  3-run my program
                  4-choose tools-process tree
                  5-select my program, right click, and choose "Add process to include filter" Now only the syscalls from my program are shown.
                  6)ctrl-f mysql and press F3 a couple of times. Now I see BUFFER OVERFLOW. Can this be a problem?

                  CreateFile C:\Qt\5.10.1\mingw53_32\plugins\sqldrivers\qsqlmysql.dll SUCCESS Desired Access: Generic Read, Disposition: Open, Options: Synchronous IO Non-Alert, Non-Directory File, Attributes: N, ShareMode: Read, Write, AllocationSize: n/a, OpenResult: Opened

                  Also, I see my program searches for libmysql.dll in the following paths:

                  C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath_target_378770\LIBMYSQL.DLL
                  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\libmysql.dll
                  C:\Windows\libmysql.dll
                  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wbem\libmysql.dll
                  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\libmysql.dll
                  C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\libmysql.dll
                  C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\libmysql.dll
                  C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin\libmysql.dll
                  C:\Program Files\PuTTY\libmysql.dll
                  C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Utilities 1.6\libmysql.dll
                  C:\Qt\5.10.1\mingw53_32\bin\libmysql.dll
                  

                  Mysql.dll is present on my system: C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\lib, so I copy it into
                  C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin
                  Now I see libmysql.dll being successfully loaded by my program, and the error message is gone, and after supplying the correct password, I now have a connection into my mysql database.

                  Thank you all for your assistance.

                  Shall I edit my opening post with the solution, place it below, or make a new post about it?

                  Cheers,
                  Cedric

                      @cdwijs
                      I'm having trouble to execute these code lines

                      My cmd input:

                      D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
                      qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib"

                      mingw32-make sub-mysql

                      My cmd output:

                      C:\Users\lucya\Desktop>D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
                      'D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
                      operable program or batch file.

                      C:\Users\lucya\Desktop>qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib"
                      Usage: qmake [mode] [options] [files]

                      QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
                      some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
                      shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
                      mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

                      Mode:
                      -project Put qmake into project file generation mode
                      In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
                      be built,
                      defaults to *; *; *; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc
                      Note: The created .pro file probably will
                      need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
                      specify what modules are required.
                      -makefile Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
                      In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
                      be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
                      file in your current working directory

                      Warnings Options:
                      -Wnone Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by

                        @cdwijs
                        I'm having trouble to execute these code lines

                        My cmd input:

                        D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
                        qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib"

                        mingw32-make sub-mysql

                        My cmd output:

                        C:\Users\lucya\Desktop>D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
                        'D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
                        operable program or batch file.

                        C:\Users\lucya\Desktop>qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib"
                        Usage: qmake [mode] [options] [files]

                        QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
                        some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
                        shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
                        mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

                        Mode:
                        -project Put qmake into project file generation mode
                        In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
                        be built,
                        defaults to *; *; *; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc
                        Note: The created .pro file probably will
                        need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
                        specify what modules are required.
                        -makefile Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
                        In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
                        be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
                        file in your current working directory

                        Warnings Options:
                        -Wnone Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by
                        later -W options
                        -Wall Turn on all warnings
                        -Wparser Turn on parser warnings
                        -Wlogic Turn on logic warnings (on by default)

                                Does anyone succeed with MySQL and Qt under Windows? I believe that nobody reaches the DB. So! no MySQL connection with Qt? Those who give their help didn't really try, I wonder.

                                    @JonB You're right I didn't think about the drive

                                      we had the same driver nod loaded issue. we fixed by switch compiler as 32bit from originally 64bit to compile application in Qt. Hope this help. some of our machine is 32bit machine.

                                        Hi All,

                                        I'm one step closer to my goal, I can now build the plugin. I cannot yet connect to my database.
                                        Steps I've taken:

                                        1. Download and install https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/get/file/mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-win32.msi
                                        2. Add C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin and C:\Qt\5.10.1\mingw53_32\bin to the path
                                        3. Open cmd.exe, and enter the following commands:
                                        c:\Qt\5.10.1\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="c:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="c:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1"\lib
                                        
                                        Running configuration tests...
                                        Checking for DB2 (IBM)... no
                                        Checking for InterBase... no
                                        Checking for MySQL... yes
                                        Checking for OCI (Oracle)... no
                                        Checking for ODBC... yes
                                        Checking for PostgreSQL... no
                                        Checking for SQLite (version 2)... no
                                        Checking for TDS (Sybase)... no
                                        Done running configuration tests.
                                        
                                        Configure summary:
                                        
                                        Qt Sql:
                                          DB2 (IBM) .............................. no
                                          InterBase .............................. no
                                          MySql .................................. yes
                                          OCI (Oracle) ........................... no
                                          ODBC ................................... yes
                                          PostgreSQL ............................. no
                                          SQLite2 ................................ no
                                          SQLite ................................. yes
                                            Using system provided SQLite ......... no
                                          TDS (Sybase) ........................... no
                                        
                                        Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'mingw32-make'.
                                        Once everything is built, Qt is installed.
                                        You should NOT run 'mingw32-make install'.
                                        Note that this build cannot be deployed to other machines or devices.
                                        
                                        Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
                                        the previous build.
                                        
                                        mingw32-make
                                        
                                        <<lots of text>>
                                        
                                        1. Create a new Qt program, with the following options:
                                          Qt widgets application
                                          Name: sqlTest

                                        @cdwijs I wish to information you that I have been following the steps you took to build QMySQL driver for Qt 5.13.0 though. However, I got lost at the point you gave three (3) steps you took to get qmake identify mysql driver because at that point my qmake could not identify the driver:

                                        1. Download and install https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/get/file/mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-win32.msi

                                        2. Add C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin and C:\Qt\5.10.1\mingw53_32\bin to the path

                                        3. Open cmd.exe, and enter the following commands:

                                        4. Are there some other things you did which, perhaps, you did not mention on the steps?

                                        5. In step 2 of your procedure, you said you added C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin and C:\Qt\5.10.1\mingw53_32\bin to the path. Did you mean path of system variable?

                                        I installed MySQL 8.016 community edition and used the same c++ connector, 6.1 32-bit you used.

                                        Followings are the commands I used but qmake could detect MySQL source driver:
                                        cd C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\5.13.0\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
                                        qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR=C:\Program~Files~(x86)\MySQL\MySQL~Connector~C~6.1\include "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\Program~Files~(x86)\MySQL\MySQL~Connector~C~6.1\lib\opt"

                                        Can you help where I got it wrong?

                                        Cheers,

                                        Heman.

                                          @heman said in Cant connect to mysql database: QMYSQL driver not loaded:

                                          Are there some other things you did which, perhaps, you did not mention on the steps?

                                          "mingww32-make install" after successful build is missing.

                                          You should not set your PATH globally, do it in the cmd.exe window where you build.
                                          These paths looks strange:
                                          "C:\Program~Files~(x86)\MySQL\MySQL~Connector~C~6.1\include "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\Program~Files~(x86)\MySQL\MySQL~Connector~C~6.1\lib\opt""
                                          Use complete paths with escaped spaces. Even better would be to install MySQL stuff in a directory without spaces.
