[karankumar1609]

Hello all,
Currently i am working on a project in which i have to connect MySQL database through ODBC.
Operating system : CentOS

the problem i am facing is, whenever i execute the aplication it says

[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified QODBC3: Unable to connect



database_manager_ = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QODBC3", "test_qt");
database_manager_.setDatabaseName("Server=localhost;Database=test_qt;user=karan;passw ord=karan;");
database_manager_.setHostName("localhost");
database_manager_.setUserName("karan");
database_manager_.setPassword("karan");


searched a lot on google but not found any successfull solution.
Please help..

On Linux you should use the MySql plugin not ODBC.

If you must use ODBC for some odd reason then you need to provide a valid ODBC DSN in the call to setDatabaseName(), which is the error message you are getting. You define a DSN using the tools provided with unixODBC. Of course you also need a suitable MySQL ODBDC driver.

I have changed my DSN and now another problem occured:


database_manager_ = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QODBC3", "test_qt");
database_manager_.setDatabaseName("MySQL_Test");
// database_manager_.setDatabaseName("Driver={MySQL_Test};USER=karan;Password=karan;SERV ER=localhost;");
database_manager_.setHostName("localhost");
database_manager_.setUserName("karan");
database_manager_.setPassword("karan");


when i execute the above code it gives me :


("QSQLITE", "QMYSQL", "QMYSQL3", "QODBC", "QODBC3")
Driver available : true
Database opened successfully
"MySQL_Test"
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
createEmployeeTable : false
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
getProfileRecords EXEC : false


Hopefully that means it connects to the DSN and database got opened but why it gives error as "database not open" when i want to create a table.

what is the problem here please help...

I got the solution... :
Just missed to pass the QSqlDatabase object in QSqlQuery ...




QSqlQuery query(database_object);
query.exec("SELECT * FROM table_name");
