Selecting data from mysql using qt?

? This user is from outside of this forum

Line no. 22 and 23, can just be replaced with ...

@
QSqlQuery query("SELECT * FROM testTable");
@

But also, do check the documentation for QSqlQuery, where it is recomended NOT to use SELECT *

doforumda

now i changed it to this
@
query.exec("SELECT firstname,lastname FROM testTable");
@
still the same errors

and i am following this link "Your text to link here...":http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/sql-sqlstatements.html

Maybe an "#include <QVariant>" is missing at the top?

Why not just

@#include <QtCore>
#include <QtSql>@

and not worry about every single class you use?

tony

That can be a solution only when you're testing something. So, in this case, I agree with you, let's avoid such worries.

But if your project grows up, it's better to include what's needed, otherwise your compilation time can increase a lot.

i add #include <QVariant>

now it is saying
@
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
@

Dmytro

Try to use QSqlQuery::lastError() for find problem

doforumda

what is the problem now in my code why it is not opening database?

tony

Did you leave

@
//bool ok = db.open();
@

commented?

doforumda

well i changed my code to this and added lastError as well

@
#include <QApplication>
#include <QSqlDatabase>
#include <QSqlError>
#include <QSqlQuery>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QString>
#include <QVariant>
//#include <QtCore>
//#include <QtSql>
//#include "../connection.h"
#include "db.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

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

//bool ok = db.open();

QSqlQuery query;
query.exec&#40;"SELECT firstname,lastname FROM testTable"&#41;;
while(query.next()) {
    QString firstName = query.value(0).toString();
    QString secondName = query.value(1).toString();
    qDebug() << "First Name: " << firstName << "Last Name:" << secondName;
    qDebug() << db.lastError();
}
return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}

OH! You use SQL code before
a.exec()
!
Are you sure?

Create standart QT GUI application and wrote sql code in mainwindow module.
