    The rowCount is always 3 and the removeRows is false.

      Does your table has a primary key? Otherwise removing will not work.

        Yes, it has.

          That's very interesting. I assume we're talking about a SQL table model here? I looked through the docs (briefly) but did not see any mention of this requirement, is it documented?

            That is how my SQL Table looks.

              @Risver

              qDebug() << querymodel->removeRows(addressId, 1);
              

              Please add qDebug() << addressId, we need to make sure what that is, just in case.....

                It is a variable to store the selected row, for example when i select the first row, it returns 0.
                I checked this and its working fine

                  OK, so independent of your selection querymodel->removeRows(0, 1); fails to remove the first row? We can then rule out anything to do with the UI or the selection.

                      Do you have something specific in mind ?

                        Hang on. Does QSqlQueryModel allow any removing it all? It's a query, it won't/shouldn't do anything to the database for sure.

                        [Yep, I'm sure, QSqlQueryModel is a read only model, you can't remove rows from it.]

                        If you are wanting to alter the underlying the database table, I think you should be using QSqlTableModel instead?

                        I leave this to you, or @Christian-Ehrlicher, now, as I'm done for the week :)

                            I've changed the QSqlQueryModel into QSqlTableModel and everything is working !
                            Thank you all ! :)

                            I have one more question - how can i refresh the table at the current time ?

                                    Yes, select the whole column and then use a loop to parse the selection.

                                        What "new data", from where? Do you mean something like over-pasting a selected column's data with other data in the QTreeView UI? Do you mean updating all rows to change one column's data in the model and/or the SQL database? Programatically or by user interaction? Or what?

                                          I mean updating all rows to change one column's data in the model(not in SQL), I would like this to happen programatically.

                                          The passwords in database are encrypted, I want them to be decrypted when I open the application.
