Sqlite connection QSqlDatabasePrivate::addDatabase: duplicate connection name 'qt_sql_default_connection', old connection removed.

SherifOmran

Hello Gurus,

I am trying to fetch data from an SQLite database, it works fine, however when I try to call the function again it works but with an debug message

QSqlDatabasePrivate::addDatabase: duplicate connection name 'qt_sql_default_connection', old connection removed.

here is my code, do I close the connection correctly? thanks

@QSqlQuery MainForm::QuerydB(QString Query, QString dataBaseFile)
{
//QSqlQuery result;
//QString dbname;

database = new QSqlDatabase();
//set database driver to QSQLITE
*database = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");
database->setDatabaseName(dataBaseFile);
qDebug() << dataBaseFile;

if(!database->open())
{
    QMessageBox::warning(0,"Error","Couldn't open setting database");
    //qApp->setProperty("DatabaseOpen","ERROR");
}


 // read data
 QSqlQuery result (Query, *database);

//close database;
 QString connname = database->connectionName();


 database->close();
 database->removeDatabase(dataBaseFile);
 delete database;

 return result;

}

I think you have to call QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE"); once in your program

But how can I then make it inform of a function?

You may want to look "here":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/18722/.

you just have to call it in the ctor of you class i think

Normally you don't need to open the database connection more than once within your application. You also want to look at the sample code "here":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qsqldatabase.html#details.

Since each database connection will only have a single instance within the whole application you are able to access it via QSqlDatabase::connection().

I would suggest that you have three static functions in your MainForm. One that opens the database connection, one the exectues a query and the third to close the database. The first and the third are called i.e. in the MainForm constructor/destructor, as Neutron Stern wrote, the second whenever you need a query.

Please read the mentioned documentation there you will find the needed help.

For all people who looks for a good solution, this is what i found, tried and works fine:
(PS : I have an application, which has more then one project in it, means more then one sql-connection)

Call addDatabase() only once in your application (see second parameter, can be anything)

@QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "MyDBConnectionName");@

Do this first whenever you want to do some stuff with your DB

@if (QSqlDatabase::contains("MyDBConnectionName"))
{
...e.g. query@

Now you must get an instance to db-object

@QSqlDatabase sqlDatabase = QSqlDatabase::database("MyDBConnectionName");@

Add DB information to your query

@QSqlQuery query(QSqlDatabase::database("MyDBConnectionName"));@
