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: QSQLITEIs 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/sql-driver.html 

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