QT program with database support without having to fully install database app.

[Andrewgaven]

Greetings everyone, I have been developing an aplication on QT that use a postgres database to store data, everything works fine, the only issue is that I had to install the whole postgres suite on every station, ¿is there anyway to avoid this?, I have seen other programs that only copy the data folder, ¿is this posible with QT and Posgres?,
I'm using the psql driver.

Thanks in advance.

is there anyway to avoid this?

As a developer you need much of the database software API in order to build the Qt plugin. Thereafter you should need only the client library.

As a deployed client you typically need only the client library. Some vendors provide a convenient client-only installer but I don't think that's the case for PostgreSQL. For PostgreSQL (Windows) you should just be able to deploy libpq.dll with your application.
