But driver still can't load :

Code:

---

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQLDriver driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QODBC3 QODBC

---

I use QTCreator.

---- Edit ----

configure -qt-sql-mysql :

Code:

---

...
Sql Drivers:
    ODBC....................no
    MySQL...................yes
    OCI.....................no
    PostgreSQL..............no
    TDS.....................no
    DB2.....................no

:/ no, it dosn't work . I still have error :

Code:

---

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QODBC3 QODBC

make shure that you have the libs and headers from mysql.com whithin the same directory that the aplication is executed

Hi , I recompile all QT library in QTCreator, but before I :

1. Copied files from :

Code:

---

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\include

---

and

Code:

---

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\lib\opt

---

to

Code:

---

C:\Qt\4.5.1\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql

---

2. I edit:

Code:

---

C:\Qt\4.5.1\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql\mysql.pro

---

and in line were is :
LIBS *= -llibmysql
change to
LIBS *= -libmysql

3. You must check that you have a files :

Code:

---

libmysql.a
libmysql.dll
libmysql.def

---

because in many tutorials is create different file name like : liblibmysql

4. In QTDir run :

Code:

---

configure -qt-sql-mysql

---

5. I opened in QTCreator file:

Code:

---

C:\Qt\4.5.1\projects.pro

---

and I click compile.

You didn't must wait to end ,because you only need wait to a moment when all sql driver is end compiled. For safe you wait to end :)

I hope that you understand me :)

Do you have Qt compiled in debug or release mode?

i have the same problem with QIBASE !
but QMYSQL work fine with me :)
it's easy to make it working but under linux :( and i see you are using windows !

good luck .

For me my method is working.


P.S. I programing in Linux, becouse ther I no have any problem's. But now I have a project who must work in Windows as client. :)

Me too. Have you solved the problem?

I've found then answer and I would share with other people that aren't able to make qt app load ibase drive. I hope I can help them.

1. At the beginning of the main.cpp (after creating QApplication instance) put the code line:

Code:

---

qApp->addLibraryPath(qApp->applicationDirPath() + "/plugins");

---

Then follows creating connection like this

Code:

---

QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QIBASE");
db.setHostName("localhost");
db.setDatabaseName(dbpath);
db.setUserName("SYSDBA");
db.setPassword("masterkey");
bool ok=db.open();

---

2. Create "plugins" folder and "sqldrivers" in the first one and put there the driver: qsqlibased4.dll
3. Put fbclient.dll to your app directory

Then final directory tree looks like this (for the debug build):
C:\Project\debug\project.exe
C:\Project\debug\fbclient.dll
C:\Project\debug\plugins\sqldrivers\qsqlibased4.dll

I have a question: what difference is between qsqlibase4.dll and qsqlibased4.dll?

The latter is a debug version of the plugin. It's required on Windows if your application is built in debug mode.

I have new problem :(

I have installed the newest QT version (2010.5). I compiled MySql (http://blog.rubypdf.com/2010/08/11/h...s-using-mingw/). I opened QtCreator , compiled my aplication and it worked, so I can be happy .... but I'm no happy beacourse this aplication don't work in another system ..... "Driver not loaded"
(I had copied all library)

Interesing is that this aplication not work ( the same error) when I change the Folder ("sqldriver") name in lokation : "C:\qt\2010.05\qt\plugins\".
So I thought that I must copy all file from this directory to my aplikation directory , then it should work ... but not.

Were is the problem ??

Obviously you havn't or at the wrong place. So where have you copied them? Or have a look at qt.conf to define the place your application should look for the plugins.

Do you have MySQL client library (not the Qt plugin) installed on the other system?

Where do I have to look for this?


=====================================
edit
=====================================

Lykurg - thanks for information, :)

My "qt.conf" (in my application location) have simple look:

Code:

---

[Paths]
Plugins = ./plugins

---

So in location where I have my application, I created new folder "plugins" and copied the folder "sqldriver" from QT location to this folder.
