      Hi Khalid,
      the difficult part is to build the QMYSQL plugin. Johan Thelin provided a good description for it.
      http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/index.php?title=Building_the_QMYSQL_plugin_on_Windows_using_MinGW
      Once you have built the plugin using MySql with Qt should work like a charm.
      Taken from QSqlDatabase documentation:

      @
      QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
      db.setHostName("acidalia");
      db.setDatabaseName("customdb");
      db.setUserName("mojito");
      db.setPassword("J0a1m8");
      bool ok = db.open();
      @

      Not meaning to start a flawmewar but please consider that the mysql driver is GPL which makes your app also GPL unless you pay for it. I am in the process of converting my database from MySql to PostgreSQL because of features, Oracles reputation and license.
      Have Fun
      Roland

      [EDIT: code formatting, pleas use @-tags, Volker]
