How to connect to the database correctly in QtWebApp

@Mikeeeeee said in How to connect to the database correctly in QtWebApp:

What do you mean by unique names?

RTM: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsqldatabase.html#details

Mikeeeeee

I did this from the very beginning and with this approach the server crashes when 2 different objects are connected to the database in parallel

SGaist

What exactly did you do ?
What did the stack trace of the crash tell you ?

Mikeeeeee

Each new object of the DataBase class reconnects to the database. This object is created each time in a function

void RequestHandler::service(HttpRequest& request, HttpResponse& response)

And I get error:

07.06.2020 15:36:44.134 1 WARNING  0x20d4 QSqlDatabasePrivate::addDatabase: duplicate connection name 'qt_sql_default_connection', old connection removed.

@Mikeeeeee said in How to connect to the database correctly in QtWebApp:

duplicate connection name 'qt_sql_default_connection'

It doesn't look like you really read the documentation: you do NOT set database name!
Also it would be helpful if you would post your code...

Mikeeeeee

It is my code fore open database:

void DataBase::openDB()
{
    QTextStream out(stdout);
    ///*
    dataBase = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QPSQL");
    dataBase.setDatabaseName("db_game_tamada");
    dataBase.setUserName("postgres");
    dataBase.setPassword("1qaz");
    dataBase.setPort(5433);//*/
    if (dataBase.open()) {
        //out<<"db is opened \r\n";
    }
    else {
        //out<<"db not opened \r\n";
    }
}

void DataBase::closeDB()
{
    dataBase.close();
}

I tried to use it like this:

void RequestHandler::service(HttpRequest& request, HttpResponse& response)
{
    DataBase db;
    db.openDB();

SGaist

As we already suggested several times: go read the documentation of addDatabase. You are not setting a connection name, therefore all your DataBase objects are using default connection.

And as I already have written numerous times: Do not keep a local QSqlDatabase member variable. There's a warning in the documentation about that.

Mikeeeeee

How I can set connection name? I try this, but this code not work

    dataBase = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QPSQL", "conectionName");
    dataBase.setDatabaseName("db_game_tamada");
    dataBase.setUserName("postgres");
    dataBase.setPassword("1qaz");
    dataBase.setPort(5433);//*/
    if (dataBase.open()) {
        //out<<"db is opened \r\n";
    }
    else {
        //out<<"db not opened \r\n";
    }

I get error: driver not loaded

SGaist

You need to use a unique name for each connection.

As for the error, there's usually a bit more information than that and if not, then set the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable to 1 to get more output.

You can do it in the Run part of the Project panel in Qt Creator.

Mikeeeeee

But how to set the name of the database connection? My previous version does not work even with 1 connection. Please write a correct example.

SGaist

You used the way the documentation explains.
You have now what seems to be an unrelated error.
You were asked to provide additional information.
Provide them so we can find what is going on.

QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS

I use windows7 and in cmd I write "QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1" and get error: QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS is not an internal or external command.
How use QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS in windows?

JonB

@Mikeeeeee
We have previously told you: under Windows in a Command Prompt you have to write:

set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

If you are developer it's a really basic thing, you should take your own time to read how to set an environment variable, it's not a Qt thing.

Mikeeeeee

I get this in server log:

Mikeeeeee

Yes, if I set connect name, then database not opened. How I can set correctly connect name?

SGaist

Rather than doing nothing in your if code that checks whether the database is opened, what about printing the error you get form QSqlDatabase ?

Mikeeeeee

Sanks, it is work

    dataBase = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QPSQL", "conectionName");
    dataBase.setDatabaseName("db_game_tamada");
    dataBase.setUserName("postgres");
    dataBase.setPassword("1qaz");
    //ResumeDB.setHostName("127.0.0.1");
    dataBase.setPort(5433);//*/

and in query need set database

QSqlQuery query(dataBase);

SGaist

Repeating myself:

@SGaist said in How to connect to the database correctly in QtWebApp:

You need to use a unique name for each connection.
