    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?

      Cheers,
      Cedric

        @cdwijs You forgot

        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 The solution is already at the end of this thread, just mark it as solved.

              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.

              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

                    @lucaynnofrota If you get

                    operable program or batch file."
                    it means that you're trying to execute it. So, are you really sure you did

                        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.

                              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

                                @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 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.

                                    I get it now. It works.
                                    I might have included some kind of atrocities who knows? However, these are the steps I took:

                                    1. I installed MySQL community edition
                                    2. I installed mysql connector c 6.1
                                    3. I created a .bat file with the following commands: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /E:ON /V:ON /K C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\5.13.0\mingw73_32\bin\qmake.exe
                                      SET _ROOT=C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0
                                      SET PATH=C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\5.13.0\mingw73_32\bin;C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\Tools\mingw730_32\bin;%PATH%
                                    4. I run cd C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\5.13.0\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
                                    5. I run 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"
                                      mingw32-make
                                      ming32-make install
                                    6. And lastly, I copied libmysql.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\lib to C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\Tools\mingw730_32\bin

                                      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:

                                      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

                                      Hi,
                                      I am struggling with the same issue, where exactly did you add C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin and C:\Qt\5.10.1\mingw53_32\bin to?

                                        @hobbyProgrammer I've added them to the PATH. On widows7, you can find that setting here:
                                        start->control panel->system and security->system->Advanced system settings->Advanced->Environment Variables->System variables->Path->Edit...

                                        You can see the current value of the path variable by start->run->cmd and the command:
                                        echo %PATH%
