Hi,
I am trying to connect to a sql database for the first time and I’m having some trouble. I don’t know much about sql or qt, so I’ve been adapting my code from someone who worked on this project before me in visual studio. I cannot seem to over my database, and I think its because I’m not using the correct driver. Here’s my code:
qDebug()<<QSqlDatabase::drivers();
QSqlDatabase db;
db.addDatabase(“QODBC3”);
db.setHostName(“localhost”);
db.setDatabaseName(“databaseName”);
db.setUserName(“name”);
db.setPassword(“pa$$”);
bool ok = db.open();
if (ok == false) qDebug() << db.lastError();
The first debug statement returns all valid drivers (“QSQLITE”, “QODBC”, “QODBC3”) but none of those do anything, i still get the driver not loaded error when I try to open the database.
One last thing, I got most of my data (username, password, ect) from the code I’ve been copying, but that code uses driver = get_driver_instance(); which is totally unknown to me.
Thanks in advance for any help,
↧
