I don't know what specifically is what you want to get accomplished.
Connect to a database? read an sql file and execute DDL sentences?
Insert records in a table?

I recommend you to get this fine book
C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 (2nd Edition)
by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark Summerfield
ISBN 0132354160 / 0-13-235416-0
EAN 9780132354165

There's a earlier edition in PDF format that you can download for free:
