[quote author="vsh.vshnu" date="1305635099"]Hi Volker,
Its simply
QString dbName="test.sqlite";

Iam developing for meego in windows developement enviorment using Qt creator[/quote]

Try to use the absolute path. You can get the file path of the application executable using "QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qcoreapplication.html#applicationFilePath

Hi Leon,
Thanks for the support ,
I have tried using the QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath
@QString dbName=QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath()+“\test.sqlite”;@
But it seems not opening the database.
All I wanted to pack the sqlite database inside my application so that i can install the applications as a single unit.

[quote author="Volker" date="1305635745"]Do you have a test.sqlite that actually is packed in your setup?

I think you should follow Volker's hint :) Please read "MeeGo Packaging/Guidelines":http://wiki.meego.com/Packaging/Guidelines As you probably know MeeGo apps are distributed as rpm so you have to include your database into the rpm.

some time , we need store a read-only database file in the QRC file. just need read no need change.
store in qrc file will avoid use change ,delete....etc it. and use database file (qsqlite3 ) will be fast get query result.

now qt version is 5.8. can we do it ?

best regards,

Hi
If small database, you can just copy
it to file system upon run and
open it.

Just override it each time.

I do not think its possible to have a db in qrc.

[cawlfj]

@mrjj yes , you are right . we can do as your way. but i think if the db file in inside the qrc file will be more safety than copy out.
Some time , some data , we don't want some body to get it .

Well its not impossible to still dig it out using a hex editor.
For dbs, something like

might be better.
Maybe you can use the dump trick to upload to a :mem based db.

Consider using QTemporaryFile::createNativeFile:

QTemporaryFile *QTemporaryFile::createNativeFile(QFile &file)
QTemporaryFile *QTemporaryFile::createNativeFile(const QString &fileName)

then you can pass a resource path as fileName.
