Qt, Mysql driver not loaded (windows)

Psy_Duck

Hello all!
What i have:
Qt 5.5
Mysql 5.7
What i want?
connect to mysql by Qt.
What's hapening?
error: driver not loaded.
I copy libmysql.dll in project folder and Qt folder - nothing.
Next, i trying create plugin with this page http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#qmysql
code:

qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7/include" "LIBS+=C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7/lib/libmysql.lib" mysql.pro
   C:\Qt\5.5\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql>mingw32-make

give error:

g++: error: C:/Program: No such file or directory 
g++: error: Files/MySQL/MySQL: No such file or directory

i create link and repeat

 C:\Qt\5.5\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql>mklink /j "c:\ow"    
 "C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7" *create link* c:\ow «===» C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7

well, what do with it?
SOLVED
ROBLEM WAS IN BIT DLL. I use mingw32 with mysql64. Update mysql (and i found problem with mysql install https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAicUhY-o00&feature=youtu.be) and create plugin again - and everything started to work. Problem was in:

plugin
list itemway to lib and include must be without link and space.
list item64-bit mysql.lib

about "sql" in .pro and path to lib - of course i do it
well, need create plugin (4 file in C:\Qt5.1.0\5.1.0\sources\qtbase\plugins\sqldrivers
libqsqlmysql.a
libqsqlmysqld.a
qsqlmysql.dll
qsqlmysqld.dll ) and update in mingw folders sqldriver and lib
Thank all for advice

Hi,

What you should do is rather modify the PATH environment variable in Qt Creator Run part of the Project panel and add the path to where the DLLs are located.

If you still need to rebuild the MySQL plugin, IIRC MinGW requires some additional steps in order to link against he MySQL libs. I don't have the details at hand sorry.

mandruk1331

@Psy_Duck Don't forget to add QT +=sql at your .pro file. Better use SQLite3 it's much easier to connect with the help of Qt.

djmassive

For me best way for MySQL connection was use QODBC3 connection. You simply install mysql_odbc drivers and everything works fine on win machine.

Psy_Duck

@mandruk1331 i write sql of course. And i need Mysql.

Psy_Duck

@djmassive you mean "addDatabase("QODBC3")"?
I have ODBC 5.3 install, but when i try: "Data source not found and no driver specified default".
I install ODBC 3.1 32-bit, take "myodbc3.dll" and again I received an error

djmassive

Are You trying compile to debug or release ?

Is your connect command look like this ?
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QODBC3");
db.setDatabaseName("Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.3 Unicode Driver};Server=yourhost.com;Database=database_name;");
db.setUserName("username");
db.setPassword("password");
bool ok = db.open();

Please take a look of Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.3 Unicode Driver}
must be exactly same name as Your in odbc tool in windows

Remember also to include headers:
#include <QSqlDatabase>
#include <QSqlError>
#include <QSqlQuery>
#include <QtSql>

If You make release and use windeployqt, please create folder plugins, and relocate platform folder into plugins folder.

Drivers from: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/ ?
