[maemo-developers] How to use MySQL with Maemo 5?

[From: Sascha Mäkelä]

I'm trying to retrieve data from a MySQL server. I use the following example
code (with some slight modifications):

Code:


     QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
     db.setHostName("bigblue");
     db.setDatabaseName("flightdb");
     db.setUserName("acarlson");
     db.setPassword("1uTbSbAs");
     bool ok = db.open();

But I get the following error:

Quote:
 QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE
Is MySQL even supported in Maemo or am I doing something wrong? I also found
the following two links:

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 install these "drivers". Should I
install them in my Windows computer, where I'm using MADDE and Qt Creator
(well, actually I'm using now the Qt Creator 2.0 Technology Preview, so I'm
not quite sure if it's using MADDE any more)? Or should I install them on
the target N900? Or both? Or am I completely on the wrong tracks here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Sascha
