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.
