Selecting data from mysql using qt?

Dii

Dii

the Devnet's forum motor changes the apostrophes somehow... use the straight apostrophes everywhere

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()

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

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

I assume you should have specified the actual password when running that query.
@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 :)

lyuts

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

doforumda

i changed db.lastError().text(); and place it after db.open()
this is the output
@
Starting /home/zafar/c++/dbExample-build-desktop/dbExample...
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) QMYSQL: Unable to connect"
false
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
/home/zafar/c++/dbExample-build-desktop/dbExample exited with code 0
@

the commands in mysql displayed are here
repectively to your commands

mysql> use testTwo
Database changed
mysql> show tables
-> ;
+-------------------+
| Tables_in_testTwo |
+-------------------+
| testTable |
+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

doforumda

any clues?

lyuts

Change the 19th line to

@QSqlQuery query(db);@

doforumda

same error again

lyuts

Take a look into mysql logs to see what happens when you are trying to connect from your application.

doforumda

how can i check that mysql logs and from where?

Try to find them:
@find /opt/lampp -name log -type d@

When you find the log directory, find a log for mysql and use tail utility:

@tail -f /path/to/mysql.log@

doforumda

this command didnt return something
@
root@zafar-laptop:/# find /opt/lampp -name log -type d
root@zafar-laptop:/#
