    PostgreSQL12.1 is for 64bit. Could this cause the problem?

    If your app is 32 bit, then yes.

      OS: win10 64bit
      qt: 5.14.0
      kit: msvc2017 64bit
      PostgreSQL: 12.1

      I think I am supposed to use PostgreSQL 64bit, but I just tried with PostgreSQL 32bit. No luck.....

        Use dependency walker on qsqlpsql.dll to see what's missing. Maybe a msvcrt runtime

          @Christian-Ehrlicher

          I am using kit: msvc2017 64bit.

          I suppose that I should run dependency walker on qsqlpsql.dll at
          D:\Qt\5.14.0\msvc2017_64\plugins\sqldrivers ?

          Thanks

                @nkbartc press Ok, then minimize the tree on the left side, so that only one level of dependencies is visible.

                The yellow warnings are harmless, AFAIK.

                      @nkbartc Yes, like that.

                      Unfortunately(?) that looks all good, so this library (qsqlpsql.dll) does not seem to be the problem.

                        The kit I am using is msvc2017 64bit and the postgre I downloaded is also for 64bit.


                        Errors:
                        QSqlDatabase: QPSQL driver not loaded

                        Sqlite works well, but my project just can't work with PostgreSQL.

                        I followed the official instruction: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#qpsql

                        Got no error but still couldn't connect to PostgreSQL. Same error messages saying that "QPSQL driver not loaded".

                        I have also tried other solutions from here and stackoverflow and reinstall my qt 4 times, No luck still. I am really frustrated now and don't know what to do.

                        @nkbartc said in QSqlDatabase: QPSQL driver not loaded:

                        I checked "D:\Qt\5.14.0\msvc2017_64\plugins\sqldrivers\qsqlpsqld.dll" and I did found the dll which the debugger reports as missing. And I am also confused about why it complains about "'D:/Qt/5.14.0/msvc2017_64/plugins/sqldrivers/qsqlpsql.dll' uses incompatible Qt library.

                        On windows debug and release libraries are different binaries and can't be loaded interchangeably (unlike with linux). You probably need to build the driver with debug.

                          I already did that. I am showing the pictures just in case if I did it wrong.

                          @nkbartc Pointing to the dll in the bin library solved the issue for me. Change the path from D:\psql\lib to D:\psql\bin
