Hello,
First thing, don't email me personally, write to the list so everyone  
can help.
I might be able to help you but you didn't provide any elements of  
information (Qt Version, sql database type, OS etc...) and nothing  
about your specific problem.

The first thing you should verify is that you correctly followed the  
instruction provided in the documentation for installing sql drivers:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/sql-driver.html

Hope this helps
Samuel
