[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;password=karan;");
    database_manager_.setHostName("localhost");
    database_manager_.setUserName("karan");
    database_manager_.setPassword("karan");

database_manager_ = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QODBC3", "test_qt");

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.
