QSqlDatabase open only existing database

[Tikani]

How to prevent Qt from creating an empty database file (in case of SQLITE driver), when i'm using db.open()? I want to show error and terminate application if it's root folder doesn't contain SQLite3 database file, else - open dbfile or show error if it is corrupted.

Hi
its the default action of SQLite engine AFASIK.
You can just check yourself if file is in place

#include <QFileInfo>

bool fileExists(QString path) {
    QFileInfo check_file(path);
    // check if file exists and if yes: Is it really a file and no directory?
    return check_file.exists() && check_file.isFile();
}
