please use the tag on the top right of your screen. This has been asked a lot already. All solutions can be found "here":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/search/tag/mysql.

I you have any specific questions after that feel free to ask here.

I find answer about qt+mysql, but not about pyside + mysql. I try copy libmysql.dll, in pyside directory, but it not work.

Did you have a look at "this page":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Building_PySide?

Did you compile it yourself or did you use an installer?
What OS are you using?

[loladiro]

PySide are the Qt bindings for python. Loading a plugin (like the mysql driver) should work the same way as it does with C++. "How to build the MySQL driver plugin":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/sql-driver.html#qmysql

I using windows and use installer.

I try - http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/sql-driver.html#qmysql

@Now the following libraries are ready in C:\Qt\4.6.2\plugins\sqldrivers.
libqsqlmysql4.a
libqsqlmysqld4.a
qsqlmysql4.dll
qsqlmysqld4.dll

To use the SDK and QtCreator directly, copy these libraries to your C:\Qt...\qt\plugins\sqldrivers, and copy C:\MySQL\MySQL51\lib\opt\libmysql.dll to your C:\Qt...\qt\bin.@

I copy this files from C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\plugins\sqldrivers to pyside plugins\sqldrivers, but this not help.

Seems PySide only supports sqlite so far:

Not sure where the documentation for this is.
