How to make Qt aware of the QMYSQL driver

Question

I\'m trying to access a MySql database from a Qt application but I get the following error:

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available dr         


        

Answer 1

I was experiencing this same issue as well. I've been installing and experimenting with a lot of different Python tools and UIs. I then uninstalled everything python related. I did a fresh install of Python 3.2, PyQT 3.2, and Eric5. No more errors with the QMySQL driver.
