What "database"? Do you mean an SQL database?

I tried sqlite with sqlcipher but failed, I want my app's database to be encrypted in Windows. if other database like mysql can be encrypted and Qt can use it will be very useful.

To my knowledge SQLCIPHER is the most popular method of using an SQLITE encrypted database. You should figure out why you were unable to make SQLCIPHER work IMHO.

compiled the Qt plugin using this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29196087/step-by-step-guide-to-build-qt-sql-driver-plugin-for-sqlite-db-with-sqlcipher-ex), I got the compiled and placed in the sqldriver dir of Qt but when compiling a program using this sqlcipher plugin qt don't list this plugin. I post this issue in qtcenter also but I didn't got an answer so I am looking for other option
