Accessing xampp mysql database

[synack]

Hi folks,

here is what I want to do:

I'running an apache mysql server with xampp on a windows vista 32bit machine (would like to do this with linux, but have to do it with vista...) and want to access a database through the QSqlTableModel in my xampp/mysql directory.
The dev packs(lib and header) for mysql is installed.

Qt Version is 4.4.3 and i tried to install the mysql plugin with the following command in the Qt command prompt: "c:\Qt\4.4.3\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql>qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:\xampp\MySQL\incl
ude" "LIBS+=C:\xampp\MySQL\lib\opt\libmysql.lib" mysql.pro"
This command works, but when i do a "make" afterwards, i get lots of errors with 'undefined references to 'mysql_query@8'' and exit status 1.

http://wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?title=Building_the_QMYSQL_plugin_on_Wind ows_using_MinGW

Installing latest mingw and using reimp should work.

What did i do wrong?
Does the mysql server has to be running when installing? - i guess no -
Is the process for installing the mysql plugin similiar for Qt4.5?
Do I need to have the mysql running as a service in my xampp control center, when I want to access the database?
Has anybody experience with this issue?

Any help would be a peach

Best Regards

Hi,

in context to this article

http://wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?title=Building_the_QMYSQL_plugin_on_Wind ows_using_MinGW

I need a little bit help please.

The scenario is the mentioned above. I did steps 1-4 how described in the wiki article and no errors.
At step 5 when doing 'make', I get these errors:

<pre>
C:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/winbase.h:1676: error:
declaration of C function `LONG InterlockedIncrement(volatile LONG*)' conflicts
with
../../../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/arch/qatomic_windows.h:388: error:
previous declaration `long int InterlockedIncrement(long int*)' here
mingw32-make[1]: *** [tmp/obj/release_shared/main.o] Error 1
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `c:/Qt/4.4.3/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql'
mingw32-make: *** [release-all] Error 2
</pre>

I really have no glue that i'm doing wrong.
MinGW works, the lib and header for mysql is installed, reimp works, liblibmysql.a has been created, so if you have any suggestions post them.

Perhaps this an issue for the bug tracker.

Here's that really simple code, i want to run:



#include <QtGui>
#include <QtSql>
#include <QtDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);

QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");

db.setHostName("localhost");
db.setDatabaseName("c5testdb");
db.setUserName("root");
db.setPassword("");

if(!db.open()) {
QSqlError err = db.lastError();
QMessageBox::information(0, QObject::tr("Fehler!"), err.text());
return 1;
}

QTableView tableView;
QSqlTableModel model;

model.setTable("users");
model.select();
model.setEditStrategy(QSqlTableModel::OnFieldChang e);
tableView.setModel(&model);
tableView.setWindowTitle("SQL-Demonstration");
tableView.show();
return a.exec();
}

create QSqlTableModel model; on a heap.

create QSqlTableModel model; on a heap.

:confused:

Did you read the two posts above? I think no you didn't.
For this example it makes no difference if the model is on heap or stack.

Does anyone has experience setting up a mysql connection with Qt4.5 ?

[spirit]

yup, works fine for me.

Ok, it would be nice if you could explain what is the difference between installing mysql on a windows machine to the previous Qt version, if there is any.
I did it like described in this article
http://wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?title=Building_the_QMYSQL_plugin_on_Wind ows_using_MinGW
but it does not work for Qt4.5

Thx so far

wimblows, so i'm back on my lamp now...
