    I tried to search for solutions but so far none have worked. I'm using windows 10.

    QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
    db.setHostName("127.0.0.1");
    db.setUserName("root");
    db.setPassword("");
    db.setDatabaseName("slmp");

    if (db.open())
        ui->db_label->setText("Connected...");
    else {
        ui->db_label->setText("Failed to connect");
    }
    

    When i try to run this code it fails to connect because mysql driver isn't loaded. I looked up how to fix this and it says to download mysql connector. I downloaded the c++ 8.0.15 win 32 connector. 1st I added the vs14 file through the add library function but that failed. Then I pasted the libeay32.dll and the other dll files that comes with it in the mscv2015_64 and that failed. I also tried pasting the dll files in mscv2017, mscv2017_64, mingw73_64 all lead to failures.
