how to get integers from mysql

Hi, I have this sql statement;

Code:

---

QSqlQuery query;
  query.exec(trUtf8("SELECT id FROM descriptor_table WHERE ime_tabele='%1'").arg("town"));

---

where descriptor_table and "town" are two tables in my database. The descriptor_table hold info about other tables.

Now I want to read the rows into the application at which the certain table appears. In this case lines are 1,2,3 (if I enter this command in mysql> command line). The problem now is that I want to get them into an application...

Any ideas are appreciated.

You need QSqlQuery::next() and QSqlQuery::value().

Why isn't this working:

Code:

---

QSqlQuery query;
  QVariant integer[m_pTableRecord->count()];
  query.prepare(trUtf8("SELECT id FROM descriptor_table WHERE ime_tabele='%1'").arg(sTableName));
  for(qint32 i=0;i<m_pTableRecord->count();i++) {
	integer[i] = query.value(0);
	query.next();
	qDebug() << "Value " << i << "is: " << integer[i].toInt();
  }

---

It always returns 0. It should return 0,1,2.

The query is prepared, but I don't see any bindValue() or exec()...

Edit: Take a look at http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qsqlque...binding-values and you'll see what I mean.

And why doesn't this get the QString that's in table descriptor_table under field browse_caption at id==<some_number>

Code:

---

QVariant string[m_pTableRecord->count()];
    for (m_iIndex=1; m_iIndex<m_pTableRecord->count(); m_iIndex++) {
	  query.prepare(trUtf8("SELECT browse_caption FROM descriptor_table WHERE id='%1'").arg(integer[m_iIndex+1].toInt()));
	  query.exec();
	  string[m_iIndex] = query.value(0);
	  qDebug() << "String " << string[m_iIndex].toString();
      m_pColumnNames->append(string[m_iIndex].toString());
    }

---

What it outputs is empty. Why

You have to prepare and execute the query only once. Next, to get the data, you have to first invoke next() and then value().

Code:

---

query.prepare(trUtf8("SELECT browse_caption FROM descriptor_table WHERE id='%1'").arg(integer[m_iIndex+1].toInt()));

---

Well I can't prepare the statement only once, because I have to change the argument to the prepend) function. The argument is an integer that should raise by one every time I go through for loop.

I haven't noticed that you have changed the query. In such case you can prepare the statement only once and then use bindValue() to change the parameter value.

Code:

---

q.prepare( "SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE id = :id" );
for( ... ) {
   q.bindValue( ":id", nextId );
   if( q.exec() && q.next() ) {
      // ...
   }
   else {
      // exec failed or no data
   }
}

Then maybe you don't need the WHERE clause at all?

Hi.

Code:

---

query.prepare(trUtf8("SELECT browse_caption FROM descriptor_table WHERE id=':id'"));
 
    for (m_iIndex=0; m_iIndex<m_pTableRecord->count(); m_iIndex++) {
	  query.bindValue(":id",(integer[m_iIndex].toInt()));
                 query.exec();
	  string[m_iIndex] = query.value(0);
	  query.next();
	  qDebug() << "String " << string[m_iIndex].toString();
      m_pColumnNames->insert(m_iIndex, string[m_iIndex].toString());
    }

---

This code does now work (it does not return a string...actually it always returns an empty string. --> what to do)?

It should be :id, not ':id'.

You have to call next() first, then value().
