QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded

CroCo

This problem seems common but I couldn't find a proper solution. I'm developing a project that requires MySQL database. Every time I try to connect, I get this error:

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QODBC QODBC3 QPSQL QPSQL7

It tells me the driver is available but can't be loaded.

I'm using Qt 5.9 in Windows 10. I'm using Qt 5_9_1_MinGW_32bit-Debug I've built the sqldrivers and they are listed in

C:\Qt\5.9.1\mingw53_32\plugins\sqldrivers

Also, I've installed MySQL community server. For .pro, I've included QT+=sql. I'm not sure what issues may cause this problem. Changing QMYSQL to QSQLITE made the connection but failed to retrieved data from the dababase. In the source code,

QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");

Hi,

Do you have a MinGW build of MySQL on your system ?
