Sharing database connections
Message 1 in thread
Does anyone know how I can share a database
connection between multiple QT applications on
the same machine?
Thank you,

Why would you want to?
You can, though. The easiest way would be to implement a single-threaded
server process that receives incoming requests (either through sockets or
through shared memory or some such), processes the request by sending it to
the database, and returns the response.
But really, you probably do not want to.

Connection pooling is sometimes MUCH more efficient way of doing database
interaction. You would need to share this way to accomplish
multi-application connection pooling. But, alas, I don't think it's
possible, but I don't know for certain.
