<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The QSqlDatabase class is used to create SQL database
connections and to provide transaction handling.
<p>
<p> Note that transaction handling is not supported by every SQL
database. You can find out whether transactions are supported
using <a href="qsqldriver.html#hasFeature">QSqlDriver::hasFeature</a>().
<p> The QSqlDatabase class provides an abstract interface for
accessing many types of database backends. Database-specific
drivers are used internally to actually access and manipulate
data, (see <a href="qsqldriver.html">QSqlDriver</a>). Result set objects provide the interface
for executing and manipulating SQL queries (see <a href="qsqlquery.html">QSqlQuery</a>).
<p>See also <a href="database.html">Database Classes</a>.

Creates a QSqlDatabase connection called <em>name</em> that uses the

object name <em>objname</em>. If the <em>type</em> is not recognized, the
database connection will have no functionality.

</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Creates a database connection using the driver <em>driver</em>, with
the parent <em>parent</em> and the object name <em>objname</em>.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> The framework takes ownership of the <em>driver</em> pointer,
so it should not be deleted.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QSqlDatabase"></a>QSqlDatabase::~QSqlDatabase ()
</h3>
Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.

</h3>
Adds a database to the list of database connections using the
driver <em>type</em> and the connection name <em>connectionName</em>.
<p> The database connection is referred to by <em>connectionName</em>. The
newly added database connection is returned. This pointer is owned
by QSqlDatabase and will be deleted on program exit or when
<a href="#removeDatabase">removeDatabase</a>() is called.
<p> If <em>connectionName</em> is not specified, the newly added database
connection becomes the default database connection for the
application, and subsequent calls to <a href="#database">database</a>() (without a
database name parameter) will return a pointer to it. If <em>connectionName</em> is given, use <a href="#database">database(connectionName)</a> to retrieve a pointer to the
database connection.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> If you add a database with the same name as an
existing database, the new database will replace the old one.
This will happen automatically if you call this function more
than once without specifying <em>connectionName</em>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#database">database</a>() and <a href="#removeDatabase">removeDatabase</a>().

</h3> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> This function is useful if you need to set up the database
connection and instantiate the driver yourself. If you do this, it
is recommended that you include the driver code in your own
application. For example, setting up a custom PostgreSQL
connection and instantiating the <a href="sql-driver.html#QPSQL7">QPSQL7</a> driver can be done the
following way:
<p> <pre>
#include "qtdir/src/sql/drivers/psql/qsql_psql.cpp"
</pre>
(We assume that <tt>qtdir</tt> is the directory where Qt is installed.)
This will pull in the code that is needed to use the PostgreSQL
client library and to instantiate a QPSQLDriver object, assuming
that you have the PostgreSQL headers somewhere in your include
search path.
<p> <pre>
PGconn* con = PQconnectdb( "host=server user=bart password=simpson dbname=springfield" );
QPSQLDriver* drv = new QPSQLDriver( con );
QSqlDatabase* db = QSqlDatabase::<a href="#addDatabase">addDatabase</a>( drv ); // becomes the new default connection
<a href="qsqlquery.html">QSqlQuery</a> q;
q.<a href="qsqlquery.html#exec">exec</a>( "SELECT * FROM people" );
...
</pre>
<p> The above code sets up a PostgreSQL connection and instantiates a
QPSQLDriver object. Next, <a href="#addDatabase">addDatabase</a>() is called to add the
connection to the known connections so that it can be used by the
Qt SQL classes. When a driver is instantiated with a connection
handle (or set of handles), Qt assumes that you have already
opened the database connection.
<p> Remember that you must link your application against the database
client library as well. The simplest way to do this is to add
lines like those below to your <tt>.pro</tt> file:
<p> <pre>
unix:LIBS += -lpq
win32:LIBS += libpqdll.lib
</pre>
<p> You will need to have the client library in your linker's search
path.
<p> The method described above will work for all the drivers, the only
difference is the arguments the driver constructors take. Below is
an overview of the drivers and their constructor arguments.

<p> Note: The host name (or service name) is needed when constructing
the QTDSDriver for creating new connections for internal
queries. This is to prevent the simultaneous usage of several

<p> <b>Warning:</b> The SQL framework takes ownership of the <em>driver</em> pointer,
and it should not be deleted. The returned QSqlDatabase object is

</h3>
Returns the database connection called <em>connectionName</em>. The
database connection must have been previously added with
<a href="#addDatabase">addDatabase</a>(). If <em>open</em> is TRUE (the default) and the database
connection is not already open it is opened now. If no <em>connectionName</em> is specified the default connection is used. If <em>connectionName</em> does not exist in the list of databases, 0 is

<p>This property holds the database connect options.
<p>The format of the options string is a semi-colon separated list of
option names or option = value pairs. The options depend on the

if ( !db-&gt;open() ) {

// ODBC connection
db-&gt;setConnectOptions( "SQL_ATTR_ACCESS_MODE=SQL_MODE_READ_ONLY;SQL_ATTR_TRACE=SQL_OPT_TRACE_ON" ); // set ODBC options

}
</pre>
<p> Please refer to the client library documentation for more
information about the different options. The options will be set
prior to opening the database connection. Setting new options
without re-opening the connection does nothing.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="databaseName-prop"></a>databaseName</h3>
<p>This property holds the name of the database.
<p>Note that the database name is the TNS Service Name for the <a href="sql-driver.html#QOCI8">QOCI8</a>
(Oracle) driver.
<p> For the <a href="sql-driver.html#QODBC3">QODBC3</a> driver it can either be a DSN, a DSN filename (the
file must have a <tt>.dsn</tt> extension), or a connection string. MS
Access users can for example use the following connection string
to open a <tt>.mdb</tt> file directly, instead of having to create a DSN
entry in the ODBC manager:
<p> <pre>
...
db = QSqlDatabase::<a href="#addDatabase">addDatabase</a>( "QODBC3" );
db-&gt;setDatabaseName( "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};FIL={MS Access};DBQ=myaccessfile.mdb" );
if ( db-&gt;open() ) {
// success!
}
...
</pre>
("FIL" is the required spelling in Microsoft's API.)
<p> There is no default value.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setDatabaseName">setDatabaseName</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#databaseName">databaseName</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="hostName-prop"></a>hostName</h3>
<p>This property holds the host name where the database resides.
<p>There is no default value.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setHostName">setHostName</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#hostName">hostName</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="password-prop"></a>password</h3>
<p>This property holds the password used to connect to the database.
<p>There is no default value.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> This function stores the password in plain text within
Qt. Use the <a href="#open">open</a>() call that takes a password as parameter to
avoid this behaviour.
