QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded

[jsulm]

@ollarch said in QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded:

MySQL installation

This is not relevant here, as it is about deployed application which should contain everything needed (including MySQL client driver lib).

[SPlatten]

@KroMignon, how?

[SPlatten]

@jsulm , in the .\install\sqldrivers\ there is qsqlmysql.dll

[jsulm]

@SPlatten I'm talking about MySQL client driver, not the Qt MySQL plug-in.
Please do what I suggested, this will save us time guessing what the problem could be...

[SPlatten]

@jsulm , I now see:

Cannot load library C:\Users\simon.platten\Documents\install\sqldrivers\qsqlmysql.dll: The specified module could not be found.

How do I get the deployment tool to add the mysql connector/c 6.1 if that is whats required?

[jsulm]

@SPlatten said in QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded:

I now see

Is there something above this error? Usually the problem is not qsqlmysql.dll but missing MySQL client library which is used by qsqlmysql.dll. Please post the whole output.

@jsulm , thank you, here is the full output:

@SPlatten said in QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded:

C:\Users\simon.platten\Documents\install\sqldrivers\qsqlmysql.dll

Does it exist?

[KroMignon]

@SPlatten said in QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded:

how?

is libmysql.dll (which is the mysql connector/c DLL) available in your installation?

[SPlatten]

@jsulm , yes, it's 100% there.

[jsulm]

@SPlatten Then probably libmysql.dll is missing

[SPlatten]

@KroMignon I don't see it, but how on the same system does it work in Qt Creator?

I found libmariadb.dll in **C:\Program Files (x86)\MariaDB 10.5\lib\**, should I copy that to the install folder?

Just tried that, still same problem.

QtCreator prepares the environment before it starts your app.

[SPlatten]

@jsulm , please see edited reply to @KroMignon...

Now its working, found libmysql.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\lib copied to install folder, now it works!

Thank you for your help!

[jsulm]

@SPlatten said in QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded:

Put it next to qsqlmysql.dll (in C:\Users\simon.platten\Documents\install\sqldrivers)

Perhaps the easiest way would be to use dependency walker to see which DLL are required for your mysql plugin sqldrivers/qsqlmysql.dll

I don't know how you have build the plugin.
You could try to copy the DLL into the plugin path, so it will be reachable. But be sure it is the right one!
