do you know how to disable or turn off the these indexs in this picture ?

Hide the horizontal and vertical header.

[JonB]

@Duy-Khang
If that column is in the table but you don't want to show it, use void QTableView::hideColumn(int column) to suppress it in your view.

Oh, I misunderstood what you were wanting to hide in your picture! I thought you meant the first column!

In which case it's the horizontal header as @Christian-Ehrlicher has pointed you to.

[Duy Khang]

@Christian-Ehrlicher thank you.

[Duy Khang]

@JonB yes, thank you, it works

[Duy Khang]

@JonB hi,

how can i change the name of column in picture ?

[SGaist]

What names do you want there ?

[Duy Khang]

@SGaist hi, how can I insert a row after the current row, assuming we don't have any rows at first, I use QSqlTableModel.

[SGaist]

The same as usual.

As for setting the header data, it's shown in the QSqlTableModel documentation.

[Duy Khang]

yes, i have done it and then how can I insert a row after the current row, assuming we don't have any rows at first, I use QSqlTableModel.

[SGaist]

What issue do you have with using insertRow ?

In addition to what @SGaist has been saying, how do you have a "current" row to insert after if you don't have any rows to start with?

        r = QSqlRecord()
        r.setValue('name', 'hello')
        r.setValue('age', 23)

        if self.model.insertRecord(0, r):

            print(self.model.submitAll())
            print(self.model.lastError().text())
        else:
            self.model.db.rollback()
            print(self.model.lastError().text())
        self.model.select()
        
class testModel(QSqlTableModel):
    def __init__(self, db):
        super().__init__()
        self.db = db
     
        print(self.db.open())
        self.setTable('test')
        self.setEditStrategy(QSqlTableModel.OnManualSubmit)
        print(self.select())
        print(self.lastError().text())
        print(self.tableName())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    t = demo()
    t.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

data is displayed properly, but when i try to insertRecord, something wrong "No fields to update ". tableview not updated, let alone the database.

how to insert a record into the table?

[JonB]

@ArthurPYQT
Since you call print(self.model.lastError().text()) both when insertRecord(0, r) succeeds and when it fails, do you want to tell us (actually prove) which route your code is following...?

[ArthurPYQT]

@JonB self.model.insertRecord(0, r) returns True, self.model.submitAll() returns False, self.model.lastError().text() returns "No fields to update"

[ArthurPYQT]

@ArthurPYQT I finally found the solution. it should be r=self.model.record() rather than r=QSqlRecord(). And I 'vd come up with a new question, is QSqlRelationalTableModel a must if I want to display data from two tables and write data back?

[JonB]

@ArthurPYQT
QSqlRelationalTableModel is only for: if you have a foreign key relationship in your database between the two tables, it allows you to display to the user the "mapped" values for viewing/editing. Typical example:

• Table A has its own PK plus other columns. One column is a country_id number.
• That number is from Table B, which has country_id as its PK plus a country_name column.

If you do this via QSqlRelationalTableModel and use a QSqlRelationalDelegate, it will show the "mapped" country name from Table B for the column in Table A which is the country id. And if you allow editing it will present the user with a combobox of all the country names in Table B to pick from when editing the column in Table A.

However, it is not mandatory to use QSRTM. You can do viewing/updating with or without. Note that what I have described is all it does: people sometimes expect more of it. In particular, it does not have any support for editing the foreign key table (Table B).
