QSqlDatabase: MYSQL driver not loaded

SGaist

Hi,

Beside the question of @JonB, you also have a typo. It's the QMYSQL driver that you are trying to load.

@SGaist Thanks for your answer.
In fact there was an error in my "QMYSQL".

I followed the doc : https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/sql-driver.html#qmysql
But i got the same error : it didn't work, i got the same message.
Someone has a good tutorial to connect to my MySQL (Xampp) ?
I copied the lib and dll in my compilator, in my project... so way.

Thanks

So, did you build and install the driver for MySQL? See the "How to Build the QMYSQL Plugin on Windows" chapter in the link you posted.

@jsulm Hey,
Sure i did. And after that I saw the note that notice it don't work and we must install "full MySQL Server (x64 only) or the MariaDB C Connector". I tried... and got the same error, again. :)
Thanks

What exactly did you try?
You need to install MariaDB C Connector before you build the plug-in. And then you pass the paths to the CMake call like shown in the documentation:

qt-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"

So, did you do this?

And one more question: when do you get this plug-in not loaded error: when you start your app from QtCreator or after deployment?

Cervo2paille

@jsulm You're right i got a problem on this line.
I addapted to my system :

qt-cmake -G Ninja D:\Qt\6.3.1\mingw_64\bin -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="D:\Qt\6.3.1\mingw_64" -DMySQL_INCLUDE_DIR="D:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include" -DMySQL_LIBRARY="D:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib\libmysql.lib"

But i got a

'qt-cmake' is not recognized as an internal command

or external, an executable program or a batch file.

I installed it , during the installation accepted to add to my Windows path the cmake... but it didn't worked.

Thank you for your time

qt_cmake should be part of your Qt installation, simply use full path to it.

Cervo2paille

Thanks
But here we go again

The 3 files are inside the project, where the documentation wants me to do :

MSVC runtime is installed.

Maybe the problem come from the commands... i can see if they where well executed.

Near to success... bot not yet.
Thanks.

@Cervo2paille I think you must include the exe folder path in environmental "Path" variable

jsulm

@Cervo2paille It looks like it is actually working? You just messed up with connections.

This post is deleted!

@jsulm Added Cmake Path and retry the commands. In fact, the commands seems to not be passed because here, they gave me an error :

C:\Users\flebourgeois\build-sqldrivers>qt-cmake -G Ninja D:\Users\flebourgeois\Documents\QT_Projets\blossom -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="D:\Qt\6.3.1\mingw_64" -DMySQL_INCLUDE_DIR="D:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include" -DMySQL_LIBRARY="D:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib\libmysql.lib"
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Tried to Install Ninja on my windows Ninja.

Config of my project under QT :

Maybe my -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX isn't ok ?
My CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in QT show me a Ninja.exe, it's not ok ?
Thanks for your help :)

Hi, you can also try without the -G Ninja stuff, e.g.

C:\Users\flebourgeois\build-sqldrivers>qt-cmake D:\Users\flebourgeois\Documents\Q...

@hskoglund Hey, thanks i successful to do the commands. But i got again and again the same error.
The installation :

The famous error :

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QODBC QPSQL

My Path :

I think i do a mistake about the starting of this line "qt-cmake -G Ninja <qt_installation_path>\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers...".
What do you think about ? How to write it ?
If someone has an idea... thanks ! :)

@Cervo2paille I haved bat file for mariadb for WIndow if you want try.

Cervo2paille

thanks yes i would like to try :)

piervalli

@Cervo2paille
That is my bat for maria db tested on 5.15.2

SET QTDIR="C:\Qt\5.15.2\Src"
SET MYSQL_INCDIR="C:\Program Files\MariaDB\MariaDB Connector C 64-bit\include"
SET MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:\Program Files\MariaDB\MariaDB Connector C 64-bit\lib"

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\5.15.2\mingw81_64\bin;C:\Qt\Tools\mingw810_64\bin;

cd %QTDIR%\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
pause
qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR=%MYSQL_INCDIR% MYSQL_LIBDIR=%MYSQL_LIBDIR%
pause
mingw32-make sub-mysql
pause
mingw32-make install
pause

1.Before build, clear the previous installation
2. copy libmariadb in exe directory

I hose it is useful.
The driver installed for Maria DB is "C Connector".
