+
+
+The TQSqlDatabase 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="ntqsqldriver.html#hasFeature">TQSqlDriver::hasFeature</a>().
+<p> The TQSqlDatabase 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="ntqsqldriver.html">TQSqlDriver</a>). Result set objects provide the interface
+for executing and manipulating SQL queries (see <a href="ntqsqlquery.html">TQSqlQuery</a>).
+<p>See also <a href="database.html">Database Classes</a>.

+</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 TQSqlDatabase 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>.

+</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#TQPSQL7">TQPSQL7</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 TQt is installed.)
+This will pull in the code that is needed to use the PostgreSQL
+client library and to instantiate a TQPSQLDriver 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" );
+ TQPSQLDriver* drv = new TQPSQLDriver( con );
+ TQSqlDatabase* db = TQSqlDatabase::<a href="#addDatabase">addDatabase</a>( drv ); // becomes the new default connection
+ <a href="ntqsqlquery.html">TQSqlQuery</a> q;
+ q.<a href="ntqsqlquery.html#exec">exec</a>( "SELECT * FROM people" );
+ ...
+ </pre>
+
+<p> The above code sets up a PostgreSQL connection and instantiates a
+TQPSQLDriver 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
+TQt SQL classes. When a driver is instantiated with a connection
+handle (or set of handles), TQt 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.
