QODBC driver not loaded

zidom

i tried that but still same error
i tried
QStringList driversList = QSqlDatabase::drivers();
qDebug() << "drivers list= " << driversList;
to see the drivers but there is no QODBC

terenty

Look inside the folder located somewhere like: C:\Qt\4.8.2\plugins\sqldrivers. See if it contains ODBC drivers.
I have the following files in this folder:
qsqlite4.dll qsqlite4.exp qsqlite4.lib qsqlited4.dll
qsqlited4.exp qsqlited4.ilk qsqlited4.lib qsqlited4.pdb
qsqlodbc4.dll qsqlodbc4.lib qsqlodbcd4.dll qsqlodbcd4.lib
qsqlpsql4.dll qsqlpsql4.lib qsqlpsqld4.dll qsqlpsqld

zidom

I have them except the *.exp

terenty

looks like your app for some reason can't locate theese files. have a look at this http://doc.qt.digia.com/latest/deployment-plugins.html

zidom

you mean i should have those *.exp files?

terenty

no, I don't know what .exp files are for, but I don't think it's the problem. I mean if you have all the rest qsqlodbc files in \sqldrivers and QSqlDatabase::drivers() doesn't give QODBC in the list, then maybe your app can't locate them in this folder?
does QSqlDatabase::drivers() return anything or the list is epmpty? if it does what is it?

zidom

it returns QSQLITE

terenty

The only thing I can think of: make a backup of your \sqldrivers or just rename it and try to replace it with mine:
http://zalil.ru/33883387/554c07b0.508763d8/sqldrivers.zip
I am using qt4.8.3 though

zidom

Thanks a lot for your helps
but still same error i am confused

zidom

Hi
i made some changes
then i could connect to database
@#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QtSql>
#include <QDebug>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");
db.setHostName("LOCALHOST\SQLEXPRESS");
db.setDatabaseName("mydsn32");
if(db.open())
{
qDebug() << "Opened";
db.close();
}
else
{
qDebug() <<"Error = "<<db.lastError();
}
return a.exec();
}
@
i made a dsn and i used QSQLITE but i can not still use QODBC but its better than nothing

terenty

Theres probably some issues with ODBC drivers on your OS

hardcodes.de

Now I found the time to test it on my own.
System: Windows7, Qt SDK version 1.2.1 with Qt libraries version 4.8.1 (offline installer).

I've created a test database on a Microsoft SQL Server Express server (which basically means that the database does not run on my development machine).
With "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" a user DSN was set up using "Sql Server Native Client 10.0".

Checked connection via ODVC from comandline

@C:\Users\username>osql -D QtODBCDSN -U qtodbclogin -P passw0rd
1>
@

Ok, that works, now the Qt part.

@
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QtSql/QSqlDatabase>
#include <QtSql/QODBCDriver>
#include <QtSql/QSqlError>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

qDebug() << QSqlDatabase::drivers();

QSqlDatabase dataBase = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QODBC");
// using the DSN, created with odbcad32.exe here!
dataBase.setDatabaseName("QtODBCDSN");
dataBase.setUserName("qtodbclogin");
dataBase.setPassword("passw0rd");

if(dataBase.open())
{
    qDebug() << "Database is open.";
    dataBase.close();
}
else qDebug() << "Could not open database, error=" &lt;&lt; dataBase.lastError();

return a.exec(&#41;;

}
@

Output:
@
("QSQLITE", "QODBC3", "QODBC")
Database is open.
@

Maybe that helps to check, if your system is corrupt:

zidom

Hi
thanks for pursuing my problem i have problem in first part
bq. C:\Users\username>osql -D QtODBCDSN -U qtodbclogin -P passw0rd
it says
[ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver
specified

hardcodes.de

Ok, I assume that you inserted your own values for <DSN>, <USERNAME> and <PASSWORD> and not simply entered

@
osql -D QtODBCDSN -U qtodbclogin -P passw0rd
@

If you use
@
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
@

again and look into your configured DSN, can you connect to your database from within the Gui (ODBC Data Source Administrator)?

Have you got "Sql Server Configuration Manager" on our machine? The link in the startmenu goes like "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mmc.exe /32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager10.msc"

In the left pane there is a menu entry "Sql Server Network Configuration", open that up, click the instance name you're using and make sure that "Named Pipes" is disabled and "TCP/IP" is enabled. That often leads to "I can not connect to server...".

zidom

i disabled the Named Pipes it was enable and TCP/IP was enable to and in
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbc32.exe my dsn name that i created before is mydsn32 but in authenticity i selected with windows NT authentication using the network login id so i dont need the password and user name then in cmd what should i use for -U and -P?

hardcodes.de

Omit -U and -P, use -E instead [-E = trusted connection].

Note: osql does not support all features of SQL Server 2008 R2.
Use sqlcmd instead. See SQL Server Books Online for details.

usage: osql [-U login id] [-P password]
[-S server] [-H hostname] [-E trusted connection]
[-d use database name] [-l login timeout] [-t query timeout]
[-h headers] [-s colseparator] [-w columnwidth]
[-a packetsize] [-e echo input] [-I Enable Quoted Identifiers]
[-L list servers] [-c cmdend] [-D ODBC DSN name]
[-q "cmdline query"] [-Q "cmdline query" and exit]
[-n remove numbering] [-m errorlevel]
[-r msgs to stderr] [-V severitylevel]
[-i inputfile] [-o outputfile]
[-p print statistics] [-b On error batch abort]
[-X[1] disable commands [and exit with warning]]
[-O use Old ISQL behavior disables the following]
<EOF> batch processing
Auto console width scaling
Wide messages
default errorlevel is -1 vs 1
[-? show syntax summary]
@

zidom

i used -E Now it says
@
C:\Users\Zolfaghari>osql -D mydsn32 -E
[ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch
between the Driver and Application
@

hardcodes.de

"First hit on Google":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms712362(v=vs.85).aspx

I quote

bq. To resolve this error, use the 32-bit odbcad32.exe to configure or remove the DSN.

zidom

yes i read that and fixed the problem with cmd now there is no error in cmd but in qt still says the driver not found my code is same as yours except the user and pass my include and plugin folder are same to

hardcodes.de

And you can confirm that you compile a 32 bit program?
