Selecting data from mysql using qt?

OH! You use SQL code before
a.exec()
!
Are you sure?

Create standart QT GUI application and wrote sql code in mainwindow module.

Well, it should make no problem to have SQL query before exec(), at least I don't have any problem with that.

Let's get back to square one:
You said if you uncomment the
@bool ok = db.open();@
then your program hangs. Can we see the value of 'ok'?
@qDebug() << ok;@
My guess is probably you have problems granting the rights in mysql when you've created the table... have you made
@GRANT ALL ON testTwo.* to 'root'at'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';@
(Ouch please replace the 'at' with the 'at' sign, the forum motor uses it for code tags, I don't know how to write it... I hope it's not confusing.
I'm not sure if you can do it with empty password, I guess yes, but I never do that.)

i now put password for root at localhost.
when i place qDebug() << ok then it displays this
@
false
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
@

false might be the value of ok.

Are you able to connect to your DB from shell?

doforumda

i dont know how to connect to my DB from shell. I install xampp which is easy for me to manage my databases.
how can i connect from shell?

lyuts

@mysql -h host -D dbname -u user@

I guess your can omit host parameter if you are connecting to localhost. You might need to specify "-p password" switch also (depends on mysql configuration).

doforumda

i think i did not install any mysql client. bcause it displays this output
@
root@zafar-laptop:/# mysql -h localhost -D testTwo -u root -p xxxxxx
The program 'mysql' can be found in the following packages:

mysql-client-core-5.1
mysql-client-5.0
mysql-cluster-client-5.1
Try: apt-get install <selected package>
@

lyuts

Run
@dpkg --list | grep mysql@
and post the output for this command.

doforumda

here it is
@
root@zafar-laptop:/# dpkg --list | grep mysql
ii libmysqlclient-dev 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 MySQL database development files
ii libmysqlclient16 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 MySQL database client library
ii mysql-common 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 MySQL database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql

How did you create your database? I don't see any mysql server either.

doforumda

well i download xampp and install it. i created database using phpmyadmin.
