Qt5 MySQL Driver Issues - mysql

I'm trying to get my MySQL database interfacing with Qt5 but I can't seem to get the driver working. I've tried to compile it myself but always ran into different errors, then I upgraded to Qt 5.2 which comes with the drivers pre-compiled: qsqlmysql.dll & qsqlmysqld.dll but I still can't get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm running Qt 5.2 on Windows 7 with 32-bit MySQL.

Fixed it, forgot to Copy libmysql.dll from %mysql%/lib to C:\Windows D'oh!

Teamcity Setup Issues

Good day
I am trying to setup my first TeamCity instance. I'm running windows 2016 server with mysql. I'm busy setting up the database connection and i'm getting the error.
The MySQL JDBC driver is not found in the C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity\lib\jdbc directory.
Copy the driver .jar file to the directory. You can download it at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j.
For the MySQL server version 5.5 or higher, use the JDBC driver version 5.1.23 or higher.
But if i go to that link it doesn't give me the option to download a version for windows, it just has unix OS versions. Any help would be appreciated. ive been googling the issue but cant seem to find an answer for windows
From the drop down list choose "Platform Independent".

How do I resolve using 32 bit program with 64 bit database driver?

I'm sure some will say this questions is off topic, but it is truly about programming since I wrote this program and I need to get it working on Windows 10.
I wrote an application in VB.Net and compiled it for "AnyCPU". So it would work in both 32 bit and 64 bit environments. The program communicates with a MySQL database so I load both the 32 bit ODBC drivers and the 64 bit ODBC drivers during the installation. However, one piece of the program uses Crystal Reports for outputting a report. The piece of Crystal I'm using only runs in the 32 bit work space.
The MySQL database installed is 64 bit due to the 64 bit OS.
Everything works harmoniously in Windows_7 (64 bit), but the same configuration does not work in Windows_10 (64 bit). In Windows 10 when the user tries to run the Crystal program to view a report, MySQL throws an error that it can't find the ODBC driver in
"C:\Program Files(x86)\MYSQL\Connector ODBC 5.3\myodbc5a.dll"
Of course the driver is there, but this error is usually due to the wrong bit version of the driver being installed.
The 64 bit version is installed in
"C:\Program Files\MYSQL\Connector ODBC 5.3\myodbc5a.dll"
Is this a Windows 10 issue or something else? How can I get MySQL to use the correct driver location?
I'm not sure if this will help anyone else or not, but basically I went back to ensure that the correct versions of the ODBC drivers were installed in their correct locations. So I uninstalled both versions of the ODBC drivers and tried to reinstall them. In doing this, I saw that the MySQL installer would only let me install one bit version of the driver but not both. My program installs both drivers from the command line in silent mode. But when duplicating my installation method, I noticed that the 32 bit drivers were not being installed correctly when run from the script. But since it installs in silent mode, I never noticed. All of the 32 bit driver dlls were there, including the one shown in the error message, however it was missing 2 dlls that did not get installed properly during the silent installation.
So using the MySQL installer, I tried to install both bit versions of the drivers but as I mentioned above it wouldn't let me. If I installed one version then went back and tried the other version it complained that both versions were already installed. So I had to trick it by installing one version then renaming the folder and then uninstalling it and installing the other version. Once the second version was installed, I went back and renamed the original version's folder back to its original name. That way both bit versions were in thier proper place. However, looking at the installer, it showed that only one version was installed (the one I installed last).
I'm still not sure why my silent installation failed. The error was reminiscent of the error you get when the C++ redistributable needs to be installed, but I tried this and it did not solve the problem. So my immediate problem has been resolved. If I figure out my installation issue, I'll come back and update this answer.

mysql installer fails to recognize python 3.4

I'm trying to istall mysql server on a windows 7 machine - that has python 3.4.3 installed. However, when trying to install the python connectors for 3.4, the installer fails to recognize the python installation, saying python 3.4 is not installed.
Has anyone solved this issue before? I'ts driving me nuts...
Just to add to the murkiness, I had the same error with current version of MySql install when attempting with python 3.5 installed (which is the latest python download). Long story short, I uninstalled python 3.5, installed python 3.4.4 (which interestingly didn't update PATH so I updated it manually) and reran installer and it found the python installation.
So my conclusion is the MySql installer is tied to certain versions of the add-on products which in this case meant specifically python 3.4
just in case anyone else has this issue in future. Look at what bit version you have for Python 3.4. When I installed 64 bit version of Python 3.4, this issue went away.
I ran into a similar issue with Python 3.7.2.
In my case, the problem was that I tried to install the 64 bit MySQL connector, but had the 32 bit version of Python installed on my machine.
I got a similar error message:
Python v3.7 not found. We only support Python installed using the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) [...]
The problem just went away by installing the 32 bit MySQL connector instead.
From my experience if you have both Py2.7 and Py3.4 installed when installing the mysql connector for py3.4 you will run into this issue. Not sure of the WHY but for some reason if you have py2.7 installed, the py3.4 mysql connector recognizes that version first and just assumes that you have py2.7 installed and does not recognize that py3.4 is installed.
The only way I have found around this is to uninstall py2.7 and then install the py3.4 mysql connector. You can always install py2.7 again after the fact.
I had 3.6.X version and it could not see it; I uninstalled it and installed 3.4.0 version and it passed the requirement.
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-340/
Had the same problem and have fixed it. Using a Windows 7 PC and I already had multiple versions of Python installed.
Uninstalled all versions of Python from my PC
Uninstalled the failed MySQL install
Restarted PC
Re-installed Python 3.7 64-bit (the currently required version for MySQL)
Installed the Python 3.7 MySQL Connector separately through the link below
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/
Once that was installed, restarted the MySQL install
The MySQL Installer window will open and already show the Python 3.7 MySQL Connector in the list of products
Click "Add" at the top-right and select all of the products you want and then install them
You should then be able to complete the MySQL setup
I was looking for an similar answer. The correct answer is that there is a bug in the mysqlconnector MSI. When python installs, it creates a registry entry under HKLM Software\Python\PythonCore\3.6-32\InstallPath however, the MSI for mysqlconnector is looking for installation path in the registry Software\Python\PythonCore\3.6\InstallPath as part of the RegLocator/registrypath variable.
Use ORCA to edit the MSI, change the RegLocator so that -32 is in the path. It will install now without error or changes to the system.
I had same problem with python 3.4, all I did was installed python 3.4 version for all users. and added system variable as per this page. it worked for me!
Hope that helps.
Make sure you have the 64bit version of whichever version of Python you are running. It can be downloaded from here:
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
Just had the same problem and this solved it for me. I also uninstalled all previous versions of Python before running the mysql setup
I had this problem until I discovered I had installed python based in another architecture (32b). MySQL required 64 bit.
Had the same problem with Python 3.7 when trying to install MySQL in Windows 10. It was fixed by installing the 64-bits version of Python, not selected by default when going to https://www.python.org/downloads/.
I found it in https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.3/python-3.7.3-amd64.exe
Here is a much simpler work around:
pip install mysql-connector-python
Is the same package that MySQL is having trouble installing. Just use pip to install it.
Next, go back to the installation style and select "Manual" instead of "Developer". They are identical, but "Manual" allows you to remove packages. Just remove the "Connector/Python" package from the list to be installed.
Carry on with the install, you're done.

Problems upgrading MySQL application from Delphi 2006 to 2010

I upgraded my Delphi to 2010 version and I tried to open and run application written in Delphi 2006. The app is using mysql by dbexpress with libmysql.dll and a second driver found somewhere on the Internet.
I can't run it on 2010. I'm always getting "missing libmysql.dll library". I tried to get new version of it but it didn't help. Copying this library into almost all system directories didn't help.
I'm out of any ideas what to do, how do I connect to database :(
It's most probably a unicode problem. PChar is no longer a pointer to an ansistring, but a pointer to a unicodestring. Try and upgrade the dbexpress driver. I don't mean the dll, but the dbexpress wrapper code. I'd need a little more information to help further though.
check you have dbxmys.dll available to your app too (in the exe dir or on the path)

MySQL driver for Rails in Windows 7 x64

I've got problem with connecting to MySQL database on my freshly installed Windows 7 machine.
I'm getting this error when I try to migrate my database.
!!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install
the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.
rake aborted!
193: %1 is not valid Win32 application - C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1-x86-mswin32/lib/1.8/mysql_api.so

My colleague had a similar problem while running rails on Windows 7.
He had to replace the libmySQL.dll (in the PATH) with the one from InstantRails.
I spent hours trying to get MySQL and Rails to play nicely on Windows (albeit XP, both 32 and 64-bit versions). I finally gave up since my production box was running Linux (on which Rails and MySQL play very nicely) and just used SQLite 3 for development. No headaches to get it working and it runs fast enough for development purposes.
However, I did hear of some people that had luck replacing one of the DLLs provided by the gem with one provided by the official MySQL distribution. Also, some people simply didn't have this DLL at all which was causing problems. In the end, it didn't work for me, but hopefully you will have more luck.
For Rails or DataMapper or whatever to talk to MySQL you need a 32-bit driver in Rails\bin. The driver is called libmysql.dll. Even if you have a 64-bit server you need a 32-bit driver.
64-bit driver will fail will ruby/gems/1.8/gems/do_mysql-0.10.2-x86-mingw32/lib/do_mysql/1.8/do_mysql.so: 193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
A wrong 32-bit version will crash with memory allocation error or something weird like that (suggested solution to take libmysql.dll from another project may not work with newer versions of MySQL).
I am new to this rails. I just have passed the same issue in vista. after downloading libmySQL.dll (in the PATH) with the one from InstantRails it starts working.

The solution to this problem is to simply install the 32-bit version of mysql.
Fast forward to March 2012. I solved this problem on windows 7 x64) by renaming my Ruby\b\bin\libmysql.dll and then copying libmysql.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.0.2\lib\opt to Ruby\bin
There was a newer version of libmysql.dll at C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Workbench CE 5.2.37 but the gem didn't like the non 6.x version.
Could this be related to Ruby on Rails Win7 x64? ? If so, what was the fix again (couldn't figure it out from the first answer) ?
Another option which has worked for me is to download the 32bit version of mysql for windows and just keep the libmysql.dll and add the location of this DLL to the windows PATH.
Adding the libmySQL.dll from InstantRails to a dir in my path worked for me too. It's really sad that we have to do this sort of thing though. I'd like to see the gem, or MySql itself, install this DLL properly.
I'm running the current versions of everything on WinXP SP3: Ruby 1.9.2p0, MySQL 5.5, mysql 2.8.1. This issue is still present and to fix it I had to copy the Instant Rails libmysql.dll into my C:\Ruby192\bin directory. I initially copied the libmysql.dll file that came with MySQL 5.5 but that caused a seq fault!
