QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QODBC QPSQLYour output show no sign/mention of finding any QMYSQL plugin anywhere (where it is looking). So what file(s) do you have where for plugins with regard to QMYSQL? It looks like either there is nothing at all, so it cannot even try to load it, or there is some output earlier in the diagnostic relating to QMYSQL which you are not showing.

@JonB in this folder "C:\Qt\6.4.0\mingw_64\plugins\sqldrivers", I have "qsqlmysql.dll" and "qsqlmysql.debug", amongst other files. I built the plugin using:
"
mkdir build-sqldrivers
cd build-sqldriversqt-cmake -G Ninja <qt_installation_path>\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<qt_installation_path><platform> -DMySQL_INCLUDE_DIR="C:\mysql-8.0.22-winx64\include" -DMySQL_LIBRARY="C:\mysql-8.0.22-winx64\lib\libmysql.lib"
cmake --build .

Hi, please be careful with your versions of Qt:
- you use Qt 5.15.2 for the debug build
(C:/Users/Nelson/Documents/CP/build-DatabaseConn-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_MSVC2019_64bit-Debug/debug/) - 'C:/Qt/6.4.0/msvc2019_64/plugins/sqldrivers/ as the place where Qt looks for the MySQL plugin
- C:\Qt\6.0.0\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers is where you build it from (and installing to C:\Qt\6.0.0\mingw81_64)
Don't know if that's the cause of the problems but it will help to only use one version of Qt for everything :-)

Seems to me you have a mix-up/mismatch betwenn these paths, not to mention whether you are using MinGW versus MSVC. Sort out what you are using from where, for sure. That is all I know.
- you use Qt 5.15.2 for the debug build

@JonB thanks for the reply. I also have I have "qsqlmysql.dll" and "qsqlmysql.debug" in "C:/Qt/6.4.0/msvc2019_64/plugins/sqldrivers/" and it still does not work.

@AlexFr
It's no good just having the files in that directory, you have to have the application looking in that directory to find it/them. I do not not know whether that is happening in your situation. -
Hi, you can try building your app in Release mode (not Debug), perhaps the release mode version of the QMySQL plugin you built will be picked up better than the debug version.
Also please include all of the output from QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS, not just a single line... -

Hi, the output looks good, only one more step should remain, you need to copy the mysql driver dll to the same folder as where your app .exe file is.
The driver dll file is called libmysql.dll and it should be in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib (provided that you've installed the 64-bit MySQL Installer 8.0.22)
So if I'm guessing correctly then the copy command is:
copy "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib\libmysql.dll" C:\Users\user\Documents\CP\build-DatabaseConnection-Desktop_Qt_6_4_0_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\releaseIf you cannot find it (or haven't installed the MyQSL Installer) then there are plenty of alternatives for downloading that libmysql.dll file, for example here

@hskoglund Hi. thanks for the answer. it however did not help. I still get the exact same error as above.
-
Hi, even though you successfully copied libmysql.dll to where your .exe file is, perhaps it still fails because the .dlls that libmysql.dll depend on are not in your path. The files are libssl-1_1-x64.dll and libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll.
They also need to be copied to the same directory where your .exe file is, try (note: I'm guessing where they are on your PC):
copy C:\mysql-8.0.22-winx64\lib\libssl-1_1-x64.dll C:\Users\user\Documents\CP\build-DatabaseConnection-Desktop_Qt_6_4_0_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\release
and
copy C:\mysql-8.0.22-winx64\lib\libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll C:\Users\user\Documents\CP\build-DatabaseConnection-Desktop_Qt_6_4_0_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\releaseP.S. If it still fails, could you post a directory listing of the files in the directory where your .exe file is, I'm guessing it is: C:\Users\user\Documents\CP\build-DatabaseConnection-Desktop_Qt_6_4_0_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\release?
Edit: googled a bit more, there's an easier way to fix those 2 missing .dlls: install the MySQL Community Downloads MySQL Installer for Windows It's free but it requires an Oracle login :-( but perhaps you already have one)

@hskoglund Hey thank you for taking the time to help me fix this.
I tried what you said, and it still does not work. I already have mysql installed, but I can uninstall and install it again. -
Hi, could you post a directory listing where your .exe file is so that the file dates and sizes are visibile.(perhaps there is a mismatch between the Release and Debug versions of the 3 MySQL files).
@hskoglund Hey. Here is the directory listing:

Hi, libmysql.dll is not from the same year as libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll and ibssl-1_1-x64.dll, that could be a problem. I don't think that's the reason for the error though.
I think you need to use a version of Qt that is not a beta release but a "real" release. That means installing the Qt 6.3.1 MSVC 2019 64-bit version. Then rebuild your app with that version of Qt.
To avoid rebuilding the MySQL plugin for Qt version 6.3.1 you can download it from here
When you open the zip, place the3 files libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll, libmysql.dll and libssl-1_1-x64.dll in the same folder as your .exe file (I'm guessing C:\Users\user\Documents\CP\build-DatabaseConnection-Desktop_Qt_6_3_1_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\release)
then open the subdirectory sqldrivers in the .zip file and copy the 2 files qsqlmysql.dll and qsqlmysqld.dll to the plugins folder of your newly installed Qt version 6.3.1, I'm guessing: C:\Qt\6.3.1\msvc2019_64\plugins\sqldrivers -
