    Use dependency walker on qsqlpsql.dll to see what's missing. Maybe a msvcrt runtime

      @Christian-Ehrlicher

      I am using kit: msvc2017 64bit.

      I suppose that I should run dependency walker on qsqlpsql.dll at
      D:\Qt\5.14.0\msvc2017_64\plugins\sqldrivers ?

      Thanks

            @nkbartc press Ok, then minimize the tree on the left side, so that only one level of dependencies is visible.

            The yellow warnings are harmless, AFAIK.

              Please take a look at the direct dependencies

                  @nkbartc Yes, like that.

                  Unfortunately(?) that looks all good, so this library (qsqlpsql.dll) does not seem to be the problem.

                  Regards

                    I checked "D:\Qt\5.14.0\msvc2017_64\plugins\sqldrivers\qsqlpsqld.dll" and I did found the dll which the debugger reports as missing. And I am also confused about why it complains about "'D:/Qt/5.14.0/msvc2017_64/plugins/sqldrivers/qsqlpsql.dll' uses incompatible Qt library.

                    The kit I am using is msvc2017 64bit and the postgre I downloaded is also for 64bit.


                    Errors:
                    QSqlDatabase: QPSQL driver not loaded

                    PostgreSQL: 12.1

                    Sqlite works well, but my project just can't work with PostgreSQL.

                    I followed the official instruction: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#qpsql

                    Got no error but still couldn't connect to PostgreSQL. Same error messages saying that "QPSQL driver not loaded".

                    I have also tried other solutions from here and stackoverflow and reinstall my qt 4 times, No luck still. I am really frustrated now and don't know what to do.

                    On windows debug and release libraries are different binaries and can't be loaded interchangeably (unlike with linux). You probably need to build the driver with debug.

                      I already did that. I am showing the pictures just in case if I did it wrong.

                      @nkbartc Pointing to the dll in the bin library solved the issue for me. Change the path from D:\psql\lib to D:\psql\bin
