qt evaulation - support
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
We registered for a QT evaluation about a week ago and have some
questions. In particular, we are wanting to try out the Firebird
connectivity but the evaluation edition doesn't seem to come with the
IBASE library that is required.
Is there any way of obtaining this so that we can try it out?
Thanks,
Peter Lee

I don't know which database plugins are available (or not) with the
standard evaluation version. Ask sales for an evaluation version with
IBASE support.

SQL client libraries you usually have to download yourself, from the website
of the DBMS vendor.
The Qt SQL drivers should be included, unless there are licensing terms in
the client libraries that require a commercial Qt license to be accepted
first (not aware of any though; some drivers are not shipped with the OSS
edition of Qt for that reason, but the eval-pack should be able to include
them all).

Thanks for your reply. In the documentation it implies that the
Interbase/Firebird drivers are included but there's nothing in the
evaluation version that we have.

I've emailed sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxx but no reply there!

IBASE client libraries are *not* provided with Qt. Client libraries are
provided by the database vendor (with the exception of SQLite which is
bundled with Qt).
Qt provides database drivers, but these drivers require the relevant
database client libraries. So you have to retrieve client libraries
first. The commercial edition of Qt provides all the drivers that are
listed in the documentation. The open source edition misses some drivers
that are not compatible with the GPL. The evaluation edition may miss
some drivers aw well, I really don't know. You may be able to get an
evaluation version of Qt with the database drivers you're interested in
from sales.
But first make sure you have client libraries installed on your system.
