MADDE, Qt Creator and MySQL - maemo.org

Sasler | # 1 | 2010-03-29, 15:39 | Report

Has anyone tried to make use QMYSQL with MADDE and Qt Creator? How should it be configured? Is it even possible?

Sasler | # 2 | 2010-03-30, 05:46 | Report

OK, I've found these:

http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/sql-driver.html
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/install-x11.html

But I'm not quite sure where I should try to "install" these MySQL "drivers". Should they be on my Windows computer, where I'm using Qt Creator, or in my target N900?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the mysql plugin must be installed to the runtime env.

in your .pro file

QT += sql should help you compile if you have libqt4-sql package installed on the dev env

i think that should work. sqlite is an inprocess db and doesnt need a dbmanager/daemon. is that good for you ? or do you need mysql for specific reasons

I want to access an external MySQL server to retrieve data. Can I use SQLLite for that?

Thanks for your help.

seems like libqt4-maemo5-sql-mysql plugin exists for maemo.
So probably PR1.2 will bring it by default, for now maybe you can try installing the above one. ( Im not sure if thats community supported

, you may want to check with the uploader)

*EDIT*
here is the QT4.5 version. So I think you can expect the QT4.6 version with PR1.2 or you can use the above for now.

Sqlite is an inprocess file based db , so if you are accessing a remote DB MySQL or PostgreSql is the way forward then.
I think MySQL has more support on most online sites.

Thanks, but in the link you provided, the package status is "Package has been removed". Oh well, I guess I have to wait for the PR1.2, which should be really close.

Of course, now the question is how soon will MADDE (or Qt Creator) support Qt 4.6? I hope on the same day as PR1.2 is out.

MADDE was already supporting QT4.6 albeit not official

.
But I think it wouldnt be too long after the official release.

I guess that explains why I didnt find it in the first place when I did an apt-cache search

atleast libqt4-maemo5* version exists for now
