QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded

[prachik]

I am using Qt Creator 2.4.1 in windows . While connecting to the database ,I am getting the following error

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

Following is the code snippet :

QSqlDatabase db( QSqlDatabase::addDatabase( "QMYSQL") );
      db.setHostName( "localhost" );
      db.setDatabaseName( "testdb" );
 
 
      db.setUserName( "root" );
      db.setPassword( "password" );
 
      if( !db.open() )
      {
        qDebug() << db.lastError();
        qDebug() <<QSqlDatabase::drivers() ;
        qFatal( "Failed to connect." );
      }
 
      qDebug( "Connected!" );
      db.close();

QSqlDatabase db( QSqlDatabase::addDatabase( "QMYSQL") );
      db.setHostName( "localhost" );
      db.setDatabaseName( "testdb" );


      db.setUserName( "root" );
      db.setPassword( "password" );

      if( !db.open() )
      {
        qDebug() << db.lastError();
        qDebug() <<QSqlDatabase::drivers() ;
        qFatal( "Failed to connect." );
      }

      qDebug( "Connected!" );
      db.close();

The QMYSQL driver is not listed among the available drivers. You need to build it for your Qt and compiler. See the SQL Database Drivers docs
