Slow database connection

[great88]

I connect to my database using following code :
@
db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
db.setHostName("server-name");
db.setPort(3306);
db.setDatabaseName("database_name");
db.setUserName("root");
db.setPassword("password");
if (!db.open())
{

}
@

This seems to work fine when my application is running on local machine
where the MySql database is running . But when I run the application
remotely , there is some considerable delay connecting
to the database . It seems like either the drivers are taking too long to load
or MySql handles remote connections too slowly .

Is this a driver issue or is it MySql ? Anybody have a similar problem ?

Just place the time information between all the instruction & measure the same. One suspect I have is DNS resolution for your server name. Try giving the IP address directly. See how it goes.
