QSqlDatabase connection testing tool
QSqlDatabase connection access
A simple command line tool to test connection between Qt client applications and a remote Mysql Server. The code includes Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support to test secure connection. The QSqlDatabase class provides an interface for accessing a database through a connection. An instance of QSqlDatabase represents the connection. The connection provides access to the database via one of the supported database drivers (MySQL in our case), which are derived from QSqlDriver. Alternatively, we can subclass your own database driver from QSqlDriver. I’ll post an another article about how to write your own database driver in Qt for Unix, OSX and Windows platforms. It’s recommend to write your own database driver especially when you planning to deploy your application in different platforms. It’s simply because there could be surprises especially on client deploying your application that using one of the supported database drivers due to missing dependencies or environmental variables.
Software prerequisites:
Remote MySQL server version: 5.7 or above
Qt version: Qt_5_7_1 or above
OpenSSL 1.0.x or above the for SSL feature
How to use it:
1. I simply run the mysql_conn_test_database.sql SQL script file to create a test database on the remote server.
2. Set the hostname or IP, port number, username and password. You migth need to create a new database user for this purpose.
[You will need to create SSL certificates for the database server and client in order to test SSL Feature on the MySQL Server.]
3. If everthing is set just simple build and run the project in your QtCreator.
If everything goes well you will recieve the following feedback from your terminal:
