[SOLVED] How to force QSqlTableModel to use UTF-8 encoding?

[soroush]

I'm getting mad:

I think it's something about the tool you used to insert the data. At first I used the mysql command line tool which by default uses they system charset, not UTF-8.

dropping table and creating it again didn't help. also I tested insert commend and that is wrong too.
The only differences between command-line tests (working correctly) and the application itself (wrong encoding), is QtGUI module declared in .pro file and QTableView

Did you remove the utf8_bin?

[soroush]

I found problem! consider the code:
@ QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
db.setDatabaseName("shop");
db.setHostName("localhost");
db.setUserName("root");
db.open();
QSqlQuery q("select * from sellers");
q.exec();
while(q.next())
qDebug()<<q.value(3).toString();@
This code In a qt application with no GUI prints correct output:
@
"سروش"
"حسام"
حامد" "
@
but in a Qt widget project with a .pro file containing
@QT += gui@
prints this:
@"سروش"
"حسام"
"حامد" @

bq. Did you remove the utf8_bin?

Yes i removed utf8_bin and binary flags of fields.
utf8_bin is just colliding algorithm that used to compare values inside database. I think this problem is not related to database. I used same database in php and everything was good.

[loladiro]

Could you please create a minimal compilable example that still exhibits the behavior you just described?

I know, but, as I said,

[quote]
The problem is that you use utf8_bin which sets the BINARY_FLAG, which disables the automatic conversion to Unicode.

[quote author="loladiro" date="1308749245"]True, but what is really happening (inside the driver) is more like:
@
QString s = "فارسی";

BEWARE OF ENCODING ISSUES if you do that!

[soroush]

@#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QSqlDatabase>
#include <QSqlQuery>
#include <QSqlTableModel>
#include <QTableView>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QMainWindow w;
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
db.setDatabaseName("shop");
db.setHostName("localhost");
db.setUserName("root");
db.setPassword(password);
qDebug() << db.open();
QSqlTableModel model = new QSqlTableModel(0,db);
model->setTable("sellers");
model->select();
QTableView* view = new QTableView();
view->setModel(model);
view->show();
w.setCentralWidget(view);
QSqlQuery q1("select * from sellers");
q1.exec();
w.show();
return a.exec();
}@
The result is:
!http://s1.picofile.com/file/6845918508/screenshot8.png()!
but this code:
@
#include <QApplication>
#include <QVariant>
#include <QSqlDatabase>
#include <QSqlQuery>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
db.setDatabaseName("shop");
db.setHostName("localhost");
db.setUserName("root");
db.setPassword(password);
qDebug()<<db.open();
QSqlQuery q("select * from sellers");

while(q.next())
    qDebug()<<q.value(3).toString();

return a.exec();
}@
results correct output:

Ok, that's really weird, could you do a mysql dump of your table, so that I can test it.

Yeah, I know, it was just to illustrate a point.

If you remove that:

Edit: BTW, I added the last two lines to test.

Edit2: I adjusted the uft8_bin's in the quote to exactly match the number in your dump

[soroush]

I removed uft8_bin from table option tab in MySQL Admin. but each time I insert data using MySQL Query Browser, colliding method is added to all tables of database.

I'm going to create re-database with mysql cli.

Thank you very much :-)

UPDATED:
I do everything from beginning, and remove every colliding method. Now everything works fine:

Thanks again.
