Run sqlite application without installing QT

[praveen_g]

Hi,

I have an application ( currently on Windows ) which interacts with Sqlite database when I save it, now I could run the application without installing QT. But could not get connected to the database when I save it.

I have tried to install Sqlite directly to the Windows system, but that did not help me to get connected.

Is there a way where I can interact with the Sqlite database without installing QT.

regards.

Well, you have to deliver the right libraries/plugins with your application. Then it will work. Look inside your Qt installation path for a folder called something like "sqldrivers" or so. Inside you should find the related lib for SQLite.

I have tried placing the entire " sqldrivers " folder into my application, but it soesn't work out.

Could you guide me on this ?

Just debug if your application finds the right driver by using
qWarning() << QSqlDatabase::drivers();
Normally it should look like:
- Folder with our exe
- plugins
- sqldrivers
But one week ago I also had trouble with it (even using qt.conf). After removing "plugins" and only have a structure like
qWarning() << QSqlDatabase::drivers();
Normally it should look like:
- Folder with our exe
- sqldrivers
it worked for me.

How do I do the same in Linux ?

The same way. Also have a look at your plugin library on system. On my x64 gentoo it looks like that:



ls /usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/sqldrivers/
libqsqlite.so libqsqlmysql.so libqsqlodbc.so libqsqlpsql.so libqsqltds.so

I have tried copying the plugins folder to my project, but still says "Could not connect to the database !!!"

Check the hierarchy of directories. It should resemble the original Qt.

Hi
First of all I WISH U ALL A VERY HAPPY, PROSPEROUS 'N' SUCCESSFULL NEW YEAR AHEAD ...

I could find the path from where the drivers are being loaded. QtDir / lib / libQtSql.so , libQtSql.so.4 , libQtSql.so.4.5 , libQtSql.so.4.5.3. But these are " link to shared library files ". So how do I use these files in my application ? Kindly help me out. I could not even copy them to any device, though I have copied to my application folder the application coudn't find the drivers.

thanks and regards

Try to run something like that (looks like you are Linux/*NIX user):


find /lib* /usr/lib/* -name "libqsqlite.so" -print
