[BlackStar]

^^ you are very welcome

[pmoglaikar]

I must say that's really a painfull task.
which you make some sort of easy thank BlackStar ! Nicely explain !!!

[BlackStar]

Thanks ^^ !

Maria dBase is free, and is mostly compatible with Mysql, and is shipped with most Linux distribution, why can't this be included in the box standard Qt, it would save many a lot of frustration, as we have to do-it every time we 'upgrade', because of license issues. For the guy who really needs MySql could do-it this , but for the other 98% a Maria driver should be fine. Does any one knows why Maria driver could not be shipped with Qt?

This is Awesome....Great Job..BlackStar.

How to create on for linux (ubuntu)? Pls Help......

[euclidQt]

Does that work for OS X 10.9

[SGaist]

Hi both,

Like written in the post, these instructions are for Windows. Linux and OS X are far less problematic. On OS X install mysql through e.g. macports with sudo port install mysql56 and on Linux, install the mysql dev packages.

For the rest just follow Qt's Sql Driver documentation

[kshots]

I recently ran into an issue with mysql (mariadb) in a linux environment - apparently, the 5.3.1 release ties to an older version of mysql that my system no longer supports (apparently, qt-5.3.1-release wants version .16, while my system uses .18). If you have this problem, an ldd of /path/to/qt5/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.so should show that it can't find your mysql libs. To fix this, go into the source directory at qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql, run qmake (specifically for 5.3.1, not the system qmake), and then make install.

Even today Qt doesn't have a MySql proper plugin delivered with? any way.. thanks for this great job... that save me a lot of trouble I wish to do something similar with HeidiSql and this was a good start point.. Thanks again

[BlackStar]

You're all welcome :), for the guys who are asking for linux or Os X, but i don't know :(, try to fetch the doc.

Hello, I'm new to QT and I have installed QT from this installer on Windows 7 64bit:
qt-opensource-windows-x86-1.6.0-5-online.exe

but I don't see the src folder and I don't have a QT Sdk. How can I install the sdk? thanks.

[SGaist]

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You need to first install the sources. Use the installer for that

[danny36]

OK now I have installed the sources (maybe) and I have a folder called Src, this is my path: C:\Qt\5.3\Src.

I try to follow the tutorial but in my situation when prompt "reimp libmysql.dll" I receive this message:

"reimp: libmysql.dll: invalid or corrupt import library"

but if prompt "reimp libmysql.lib" seems to work.

[danny36]

now I'm arrived to step 5 but I think I have some problem, this is the ouput after lunch the command:

configure.exe -debug-and-release -platform win32-g++ -qt-sql-mysql -l mysql -I C:\mysql\include -L C:\mysql\lib

Creating qmake...
mingw32-make: Nothing to be done for 'first'.

The build will most likely fail.

[SGaist]

Either install the Direct X SDK or pass -opengl desktop to configure

[danny36]

I'm sorry and frustrated but
but unfortunately for me it is the first time with C++ and QT.
I lunch configure:

configure.exe -opengl desktop

and the result is:

Just one question, do you only need to build the MySQL plugin ? If so, there's no need to rebuild Qt completely

[danny36]

This is the first time for me with C++ and QT so for me it's all new and I do not know what are the requirements needed to achieve my goal.
I want to make a windows application that keep some signal from a RFID antenna attached to notebook from serial and store data in a mysql database.
To start I want only to connect to mysql database and read a table data.

So I guess I need only mysql plugin.

[SGaist]

Then just compile the MySQL plugin like described in the documentation, no need to rebuild everything.
