QOCIDriver: unable to create environment

Hi verybody.
I'm trying to connect Oracle Database using QOCI Driver.
I used QT Eclipse Plugin + MINGW + Eclipse C++ + Window 7.

I complied OCI.DLL success.
But when I run my code here:

Code:

---

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtSql>
#include <QtPlugin>
 
 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
/* Change these to match your database */
#define HOST   "127.0.0.1"
#define DB     "xe"
#define PORT   1521
#define USER   "testbed"
#define PASSWD "secre3t"
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
 
   // QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase(ociDriver->create("QOCI"));
 
    QSqlDatabase qDB = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QOCI");
 
    qDB.setHostName(HOST);
    qDB.setDatabaseName(DB);
    qDB.setPort(PORT);
    qDB.setUserName(USER);
    qDB.setPassword(PASSWD);
 
    /* Probably overkill ;) */
    qDB.setConnectOptions("Prefetch_Memory=5242880;Prefetch_Rows=250");
 
    if (qDB.open() == FALSE) {
         cout<< "Error: opening DB failed because " << qDB.lastError().text().toStdString();
        return -1;
    }
 
 
    return 0;
}

---

Errors:
QOCIDriver: unable to create environment
QOCIDriver:: parseArgs: Invalid parameter: 'Prefetch_Memory'
QOCIDriver:: parseArgs: Invalid parameter: 'Prefetch_Rows'
Unable to free Error handle: -1
Unable to free Environment handle: -1

I set variables enviroment here:

Can you help me?
Thanks so much!

The errors generated by line 32 are self-explanatory, your options do not appear in the list here: QSqlDatabase::setConnectOptions()

Oh, i'm sorry :(

this code:
#include <QtCore>
#include <QtSql>
#include <QSqlDatabase>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QSqlDatabase qdb = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QOCI");

qdb.setHostName("localhost");
qdb.setDatabaseName("test");
qdb.setUserName("postgres");
qdb.setPassword("1234");
qdb.setPort(1521);

if(qdb.open())
{
cout << "Database connection successful!" << endl;
}
else
{
cout << "Database connection not successful!" << endl;
}

qdb.close();
return 0;
}
Errors:
QOCIDriver: unable to create environment
Unable to free Error handle: -1
Unable to free Environment handle: -1

I encountered this problem.
Help me, please.

You don't say whether the database connection opens or not. The first line is a Qt warning, not an error. The warning results when OCIEnvCreate() (not a Qt function) fails. A quick search suggests this is either an incorrect ORACLE_HOME or permissions related: can your user read the directories under ORACLE_HOME?

How do you define Oracle_Home -> i don't know this.
Sorry if my question stupid :p

Do you guide me with image?
thanks so much.

ORACLE_HOME is an environment variable, or on Windows a registry entry, that almost all Oracle utilities use to find, among other things, the Oracle client and connection information files. ORACLE_HOME has nothing to do with Qt specifically and is set outside your program. ORACLE_HOME is generally set by the Oracle client installer. I suggest you need to consult your Oracle DBA or Oracle documentation.

http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/ORACLE_HOME

Thank you.
I set varible environment :
Name: ORACLE_HOME
Value: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server

But it's error :(

Take the "/server" off the end. The example in the FAQ I linked stops at the version numbered folder. You should be able to find a folder "bin" (usually contains sqlplus) in the folder pointed to by ORACLE_HOME.

Where is sqlplus.exe? Ignoring your program for the time being, can sqlplus connect to your database?

I do not propose to download and install an entire RDBMS just to answer your question.

I don't know @@
I have followed all instructions but when running any program error!!!!

I know your program generates error messages, you do not need to keep saying that. The situation will not change until you start applying some effort to identifying the problem.

I connect MS SQL Server successfully but connect Oracle is very Complex @@

No, the Oracle client software needs to be installed correctly to be used. This is no different to the Microsoft SQL Server client, except that Microsoft install it with Windows.

How have you installed the Oracle client software? Do any of the Oracle utilities function for connecting to the database?

This is the last time I will ask:
Do any of the Oracle supplied utilities work to connect to your database?
