I am trying to make a program that connect many computers into a local MySQL database hosted by a central computer, but the way I found to host a MySQL database is using an External program as Xampp or WampServer. I am Wodering if I can host a MySQL database using only Qt's classes like QTcpServer without the needing of external programs.
No. MySQL needs a MySQL Server process to manage connections, permissions, SQL parsing, storage engines, caching, etc. You can't use a MySQL database without a MySQL Server.
You might like to explore using SQLite, which is a free embedded database that can be used without requiring a separate daemon process. SQLite is a different product than MySQL, so there will be differences in its implementation of some SQL language features. Be sure to study the SQLite documentation: https://sqlite.org/docs.html
I did a quick Google search (my search phrase was "qt with sqlite") and I found numerous blogs and tutorials about how to use SQLite in an application with Qt. Here's just the first result, but there are others: https://katecpp.github.io/sqlite-with-qt/

I'm writing a simple program to manage the contacts. Now, I want to ask how can I handle DB storage for the program?
Since the program is installed locally, and it goes in many different Windows operating system, how the Database storage and connectivity will be handled on the machines where no MS SQL Server is installed? How the portability and shipment is tackled?
If you need to use SQL Server specifically, then it has to be installed on the machine.
On the other hand, if all you need is to store some data and not necessarily a database, that could be done in an arbitrary way.
You could also use something like SQLite, which is an SQL database that can be stored in a single file and doesn't require a server running (meaning you can just access it from your program using the driver.)
Just to let you know about the problem i am facing, I will give a short introduction about what I have been doing.
I am working on a project, where the WEB interface is constructed in Java.
There is a parser built in python, which parses data and stores it into the database.
We were using a MySQL server, but were later asked to change it into DERBY. The java code now works perfectly connecting with the database.
But the python part of the code has problems with connection. I learnt how the derby database works, but find it hard to find articles about connecting to a derby database.
I have the following details:
uname : root
pwd : root
driver class : org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver
DRIVER LOCATIONS : C:\Users\esusank\AppData\Roaming\RazorSQL\derby\derby10.10.jar
JDBC URL : jdbc:derby:C:\Derby\databases\MyDbTest;create=true
I am finding it hard to find syntax for writing a connection string for DERBY.
I have installed mxODBC driver.
Can someone help me out on this? If you can post some links or some suitable syntax, it will be very much helpful.
To communicate with Derby, you will need to use a JDBC driver. ODBC drivers can't talk directly to Derby; it is a Java-only database.
I believe there are some ODBC-JDBC bridge providers that provide such connection mechanisms, but I'm not sure if they are still in active use.
Another possibility is to use Jython, which is a Java implementation of Python, which may help: see this related question: Derby Database ODBC Connection
I'm creating a software in c++ with Qt library where the database is loaded when you log in to the software.
When it's done you can use it without connection and edit your database, then when you have internet access you can update your online database.
How can I do that ?
Write it into a file with my own format and then parse and do the mysql request when I have internet connection ?
Use a database with localhost and then copy it to the real one ?
An other solution ?
When two users update their database offline, how can I check they don't use the sameId ? By the way I need the ID as father/son elements.
Thanks.
I found a good solution which is to use a sqlite database in my C++ program.
So I have the same requests in both directions ("Upload", "Download") and access to all my data in the whole program (use of singleton for database access)
Did I make wrong to use firebird database I don't know. It has lot's of good futures but I can't figure out why my query (stored procedure) didn't work.
Is there any profiler/monitoring tool for firebird?
Firebird database is working stand alone so it is embeded db. And It doesn't allow to connect with 2 users. If there is a profiler I wonder how it will connect while I'm executing my queries.
IBExpert and Database Worbench have stored procedure debugger
There is also many monitoring tools http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq95/
I advice you to install server version if you want to have more than 2 users
i have a question about the theory here, i'm just starting a project which is based on C++ applications integrating with oracle DB's, i've came to two choices, OCCI, and OCI
the OCCI is said to be aimed at C++ environment, but i was wondering, if it would be any good to use the OCI libraries from my C++ app since it is said to have better performance, or would i run into compatibility issues ?
thanks in advance :)
You can have a look at OTL it's a wrapper above the OCI or OCCI (not sure) will give some templates and samples to start with oracle connection in c++.
In my case, my company have about a thousand stores.
To connect Oracle / Oracle thru an MS C++ multi-thread service we perform the following tests on each thread:
Validate DNS (gethostbyname)
Try to open SCManager of the store (OpenSCManager)
Verify if Oracle Service exists on the store (OpenService)
Verify if Oracle Service is running (QueryServiceStatus)
After all, we try to connect (ado->Open)
This procedures minimize possible errors like 0xE06D7363 when connecting to a external server.
