Adding rows to a tableView with QSqlTableModel

[gabor53]

Hi,
I'm trying to add lines from a database to tableView with QSqlTableModel.

void MainWindow::Addview()
{
    connectionNames = db.connectionNames ();

    if((connectionNames.contains ("qt_sql_default_connection")) == false)
        {
            db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase ("QSQLITE");
            db.setDatabaseName (fileQstring);
            qDebug() << "Connection Display created in connection(). ";
        }

    qDebug() << "Open connection names in Addview: " << db.connectionNames ();


    if(!db.open ())
        {
            qDebug() << "The database (db) is NOT open!";
        }

    QSqlQuery query_main  ("SELECT ID, Name,Pic, Description FROM Items ORDER BY NAME ASC ");

    if(query_main.isActive()==true)
        {
            qDebug() << "The query is active.";
        }
    else
        {
            qDebug() << "The query is NOT active." << query_main.lastError ();
        }


    QSqlTableModel * DisplayModel = new QSqlTableModel(this);
    DisplayModel->setTable("Items");
    DisplayModel->select ();

//    ui->tableView_Display->setModel(DisplayModel);

    for(int row1 = 0; query_main.next (); row1++)
        {
            if(row1 == 0)
                {
                    const QSqlRecord qRec = query_main.record();
                    qDebug() << "The number of records: " << qRec;
                    DisplayModel->insertColumns (0, qRec.count());
                }

            DisplayModel->insertRecord (row1,query_main.value (0).toString ());

        }
}

Which is the bests way to do it, when each record includes QString fields and a pixmap field?
The solution I have generates an error message:
no viable conversion from QString to const QSqlRecord.
Thank you.

Hi,

You should create a QSqlRecord with the QSqlField you need and then use insertRecord on your QSqlTableModel.

You error comes because you are passing a QString to a function that expects a QSqlRecord.

Hi @SGaist
Now I have the following:

   QSqlQuery query_main  ("SELECT ID, Name,Pic, Description FROM Items ORDER BY NAME ASC ");

    if(query_main.isActive()==true)
        {
            qDebug() << "The query is active.";
        }
    else
        {
            qDebug() << "The query is NOT active." << query_main.lastError ();
        }


    QSqlTableModel * DisplayModel = new QSqlTableModel(this);


    ui->tableView_Display->setModel(DisplayModel);

    for(int row1 = 0; query_main.next (); row1++)
        {
            if(row1 == 0)
                {
                    const QSqlRecord qRec = query_main.record();
                    qDebug() << "The number of records: " << qRec;
                    DisplayModel->insertColumns (0, qRec.count());

                }

            DisplayModel->insertRow (row1);
            DisplayModel->setData (DisplayModel->index (row1,0),query_main.value (0).toString ());
            DisplayModel->setData (DisplayModel->index (row1,1),query_main.value (1).toString ());
            Pixmap.loadFromData (query_main.value (2).toByteArray ());
            Pixmap = Pixmap.scaled (100,100,Qt::KeepAspectRatio);
            DisplayModel->setData (DisplayModel->index (row1,2),Pixmap,Qt::DecorationRole);
            DisplayModel->setData (DisplayModel->index (row1,3), query_main.value (3).toString ());
            ui->tableView_Display->setRowHeight (row1,100);
        }
    ui->tableView_Display->horizontalHeader ()->setStyleSheet ("QHeaderView{font: 14pt Arial; color: blue; font-weight: bold;}");
    ui->tableView_Display->verticalHeader ()->setVisible (false);
    ui->tableView_Display->setAlternatingRowColors (true);
    ui->tableView_Display->setStyleSheet ("alternate-background-color: rgb(224,255,248); background-color: white; font: 14pt Arial");
    ui->tableView_Display->setEditTriggers (QAbstractItemView::NoEditTriggers);
    DisplayModel->setHeaderData (0,Qt::Horizontal, QObject::tr ("ID"));
    DisplayModel->setHeaderData (1,Qt::Horizontal, QObject::tr ("Name"));
    DisplayModel->setHeaderData (2,Qt::Horizontal, QObject::tr ("Picture"));
    DisplayModel->setHeaderData (3,Qt::Horizontal, QObject::tr ("Description"));
    ui->tableView_Display->setColumnWidth (1,1);
    ui->tableView_Display->setColumnWidth (1,200);
    ui->tableView_Display->setColumnWidth (2,90);
    ui->tableView_Display->setColumnWidth (3,340);
    ui->tableView_Display->setWordWrap (true);
}

It displays the headers in the table but no data. Please tell me what's missing or incorrect.

QSqlTableModel is used to interact with a SQL table. You orignal implementation was correct it that regard. Now it looks like you are trying to use it like a QStandardItemModel.

I went back to my original standarditemmodel. Thank you.
