    Hi
    Make sure your mingw compiler version matches the version used for the
    precompiled libs
    "The SQLAPI++ comes with separated MinGW lib files "

    And you cannot use visual studio with mingw libs.

      An include path is for headers, not for libraries. You have to define the lib to use in LIBS

      @Christian-Ehrlicher Thank you for replay. I think i did define LIBS += path. Please check my .pro file if it is defined properly.

        Hi,

        To add to my fellows, did you also check that the architecture of your library matches the one of your application ?

          @mrjj Thank you for your replay. I've checked my MinGW version and it's 7.3.0, in SQLAPI files there are only directory for MinGW_5.3, what should i do then ?

          ~"And you cannot use visual studio with mingw libs."
          I know, there are also folders for visual compiler, but i don't know how to connect QT 5.12.1 MSVC 2017 to a proper compiler. Can you please tell me how to do that or link a helpful article?
          Thank you.

            @SGaist Tanks for response. I'm sorry but i don't know what you mean
            ~"the architecture of your library matches the one of your application"
            How to check that out?

              Hi
              Using visual studio with QT 5.12.1 MSVC 2017 requires you to download
              the compiler from microsoft and install it. Make sure only to select the c++
              component as else it installs a tons extra.
              https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

              also make sure the architecture matches (as @SGaist says) , that is if 32 bit libs or 64 bit libs as you app need to be the same. (to load them)

              Its not really clear from their site what visual studio version they support.
              https://www.sqlapi.com/

              Hmm it seems fairly old versions ??

              MSVC++ Visual Studio 6, 2005 (x86 and x86-64), 2010 (x86 and x86-64), 2012 (x86 and x86-64), 2013 (x86 and x86-64), 2017 (x86 and x86-64)

              MinGW g++ version 3.4, 4.8 (TDM x86 and x86-64), 4.9 (TDM x86 and x86-64), 5.1 (TDM x86 and x86-64)

              Do you have a license ?
              it says "SQLAPI++ ships with all the sources."
              so you might end up in needing to compile them yourself as to match compiler
              for lib and app and Qt.

                @mrjj Ok i will try to download this microsoft compiler.

                I don't have license, i use trial version unfortunately i don't know how to "build" this library, can you please link some sources where i can learn how to do that?

                I'm sorry if i'm being annoying but as i mentioned i'm still learning.
                Thank you for your responses.

                  @PiotrWojtowicz
                  Hi
                  The build instructions is here
                  https://www.sqlapi.com/ApiDoc/build-lib/
                  but you need the source.

                  You are not annoying at all. Just ask good/detailed questions and you get good
                  answers :)

                  I think using the trial version with visual studio can work
                  MSVC++ Visual Studio 6, 2005 (x86 and x86-64), 2010 (x86 and x86-64), 2012 (x86 and x86-64), 2013 (x86 and x86-64), 2017 (x86 and x86-64)

                  Note you need a MS account to get VS 2017.
                  I think 2019 also will work since they are said to be compatible.

                  make sure to only INSTALL the c++ part as else it will install GIGABYTES of
                  stuff.

                    @mrjj Hi
                    First of all THANK YOU i will definitely give it a try and write soon if it works for me.

                    However you really interested me with build option.
                    I've checked the docs on SQLAPI++ out but still i don't know how to build that. Can you please give me a hand with that one?
                    How to add these build options to qmake or mingw32-make command ?

                      Hi
                      The docs says
                      "You should use appropriate batch file located in the src subdirectory of SQLAPI++ distribution (sqlapi_msvc.bat, sqlapi_bcc.bat, sqlapi_mingw.bat, sqlapi_gcc, sqlapi_ss). These files also allow to modify SQLAPI++ build options."

                      So it sounds like you can just edit the right bat file (sqlapi_msvc.bat)
                      and you should be able to set/unset the options needed/wanted.

                      Also a note about the many databases supported.
                      I would assume you will need to download their client libraries
                      so you have their headers and such. Its unlikely the source contains all of these.

                        @PiotrWojtowicz,

                        I just wanted to mention the obvious: Qt already contains SQL drivers for popular databases, which includes very well into other parts of Qt.

                        So whats your reason to use this SQLAPI?

                        Regards

                        Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                              Yes i actually downloaded and installed MSVS c++ compiler then connected it to the MSVC 2017 Kit (its is compaible with 2019 microsoft sdk) and set the LIBS += path to msvc2019 lib directory. Thank you again for help!
