Selecting data from mysql using qt?

[Dii]

Ok, back to your Qt program:

@#include <QApplication>
#include <QtSql>

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();
qDebug() << ok;

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 0;

}@

Notice, we don't set a password here.
The end is 'return 0' instead of 'a.exec()', and it won't hang. The exec() starts the main event loop, and you don't use it here...

I think you need to check apostrophes in that command.

[Dii]

ok, you have wrong apostrof type there. I mean this >> '

[doforumda]

i tried without apostrophes as well but same error

[Dii]

nope, you had ` before the root and not '
that was the error

[Dii]

ok, wait a second, I checked it in the meantime and it won't work without password, stay tuned, I post the right command

[doforumda]

you mean like this
grant all on testTwo.* to root@localhost ;
if yes it also displaying same error

[Dii]

so, here we go:

grant all on testTwo.* to 'root'@'localhost' identified by 'password';

Make the right apostrophes! :) You have to set the password in your Qt app too.

[Dii]

ok, wait I see

[Dii]

the Devnet's forum motor changes the apostrophes somehow... use the straight apostrophes everywhere
I mean this @'@

[doforumda]

mysql query did its job its now successful but when i use qt code and try to make it run it displays same error

@
Starting /home/zafar/c++/dbExample-build-desktop/dbExample...
false
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
/home/zafar/c++/dbExample-build-desktop/dbExample exited with code 0
@

[doforumda]

wait i think the query is not sucessful because it displays this message 0 rows affected
@
mysql> grant all on testTwo.* to 'root'at'localhost' identified by 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
@

Add this to your code after connecting:

@qDebug() << db.lastError().text();@

And tell us what the error is.

Did you run that command with 'password' instead of '123456'?

[Dii]

0 rows is just fine with the grant command... have you set the password on

@db.setPassword("password");@

?

[doforumda]

this is the output after adding lastError.text()
@

false

lyut: yes i use command with 'password' not '123456'

Dii sorry i didnt understand this db.setPassword("password");
where should i set this

1. I assume you should have specified the actual password when running that query.
2. @db.setPassword("password");@ should be added to your source code just where you set db options.

[doforumda]

i ran query again with actual password
i have already setup password in my qt code here it is
@
#include <QApplication>
#include <QtSql>

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

QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
db.setDatabaseName("testTwo");
db.setUserName("root");
db.setPassword("123456");
db.setHostName("localhost");

qDebug() << db.lastError().text();

bool ok = db.open();
qDebug() << ok;

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 0;

}

[Dii]

db.lasterror().text() should come after line 16 (db.open()).
The password in the Qt code must be the same what you have specified in the GRANT command above.

I suspect probably, you haven't made the database and the table in mysql yet, if you go back to mysql command line, what do you get by these commands:

@SHOW databases;

USE testTwo;

SHOW tables;@

I go to dinner, be back in a few minutes :)

You put my debug before opening the connection. Put it after.
