tony

Did you leave

@
//bool ok = db.open();
@

commented?

doforumda

well i changed my code to this and added lastError as well

@
#include <QApplication>
#include <QSqlDatabase>
#include <QSqlError>
#include <QSqlQuery>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QString>
#include <QVariant>
//#include <QtCore>
//#include <QtSql>
//#include "../connection.h"
#include "db.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
db.setDatabaseName("testTwo");
db.setUserName("root");
db.setPassword("");
db.setHostName("localhost");

//bool ok = db.open();

QSqlQuery query;
query.exec&#40;"SELECT firstname,lastname FROM testTable"&#41;;
while(query.next()) {
    QString firstName = query.value(0).toString();
    QString secondName = query.value(1).toString();
    qDebug() << "First Name: " << firstName << "Last Name:" << secondName;
    qDebug() << db.lastError();
}
return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}

doforumda

i uncomment line 23 and comment everything below line 23 then it just says
@

@

and stucks there

OH! You use SQL code before
a.exec()
!
Are you sure?

Create standart QT GUI application and wrote sql code in mainwindow module.

doforumda

i am new to qt. how can i create Qt Gui App and do you mean i should write sql code in mainwindow.h file?

doforumda

right now i have three files. db.h, db,cpp and main.cpp

Dmytro

Run QT Creator.
Use menu File/new file or project.
Select QT Gui application.
...
and select SQL checkbox
...
and write sql code in MainWindow.cpp
...
and see SQL Example please

doforumda

well i tried "File/new file or project and select qt gui app" but i ddint find any sql checkbox anywhere in creating new project

Well, it should make no problem to have SQL query before exec(), at least I don't have any problem with that.

Let's get back to square one:
You said if you uncomment the
@bool ok = db.open();@
then your program hangs. Can we see the value of 'ok'?
@qDebug() << ok;@
My guess is probably you have problems granting the rights in mysql when you've created the table... have you made
@GRANT ALL ON testTwo.* to 'root'at'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';@
(Ouch please replace the 'at' with the 'at' sign, the forum motor uses it for code tags, I don't know how to write it... I hope it's not confusing.
I'm not sure if you can do it with empty password, I guess yes, but I never do that.)

doforumda

i now put password for root at localhost.
when i place qDebug() << ok then it displays this
@
false
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
@

false might be the value of ok.

Are you able to connect to your DB from shell?

doforumda

i dont know how to connect to my DB from shell. I install xampp which is easy for me to manage my databases.
how can i connect from shell?

lyuts

@mysql -h host -D dbname -u user@

I guess your can omit host parameter if you are connecting to localhost. You might need to specify "-p password" switch also (depends on mysql configuration).
