multiple access to database qt sqlite3
-
I have two .cpp(register_user.cpp and parking.cpp) files that will connect to a database. I tried to connect register_user.cpp to the database and it works perfectly fine. It is connected and the sql commands work fine. Tut, I need to also connect another file which is the parking.cpp to the database. I connected parking.cpp to the database and then checked for the connection. it said that it is connected but the sql commands don't work.
How can I connect the second file to the database correctly?

@neko-lie
I can't figure your code (way too long, if you want to help people to help you you need to make an effort to cut the lines you paste right down to minimal).You should only "connect" to the database once (it's the same database across both files, right?). Let that be Qt's "default" connection (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsqldatabase.html#addDatabase, do not specify a
connectionName), then that's it, any file can access the connection. -
Hi and welcome to devnet,
As @JonB wrote, since you only have one database, use the default connection and configure it when starting your application.
As written many times on this forum: don't store a local QSqlDatabase object. QSqlDatabase already provides the means to create and get back database connections when needed.
In your code you are creating lots of Login object only to open the database connection, if you really want to open and close the connection for each and every query, then create a dedicated object for that.
Also, don't hard code path to database like that, it's only valid on your station and furthermore, it shouldn't be in a subfolder of an installation like that. Use something like QStandardPaths to get an appropriate path.
