<![CDATA[Using ODBC for MySQL Connection -> Error]]>I try using ODBC for MySQL Connection -> Error.
I have an extern MySQL Server and the MySQL ODBC-Driver is installed and configured on my PC.

C:\Users\chris\Desktop\musikkiosk\qt-anwendung\musikkiosk-build-desktop\debug\musikkiosk.exe...Failed to connect to root mysql admin

@

QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QODBC");
db.setDatabaseName("Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};DATABASE=_s0525289__kiosk;");
db.setUserName("s0525289");
db.setPassword("*****");

if (!db.open())
{
 qDebug() << "Failed to connect to root mysql admin";
 return db;
}
else
{
 return db;
}

It may default to localhost but I don't know.

If you look at QSqlDatabase::lastError() you might get a clue as to why it is failing.

There is a native Qt - MySQL connector but your school(?) environment may not have it installed.
