[Qt-interest] Qt5 and SQL

[Jason H]

Well, it is and isn't a database.

You still have to call QSqlDatabase::addDatabase(...)  which initializes the driver for a database.
But I agree, everything else should be using a QSqlConnection class.

I see the QtSql module as a nice start for a database independent way
of accessing databases.
But the first thing I stumbled on when I was learning it and also when
teaching it to others is the confusing name given to this class:
"QSqlDatabase".

it does not represent a database. It is a connection.

Shouldn't someone start the process of renaming it to QSqlConnection,
having a deprecated typedef to QSqlDatabase in Qt5, so that we can
remove QSqlDatabase from Qt6?

And also, I was wondering if anyone has any experience playing around with
this other hibernatish object-relational mapping layer?

works on MySQL and SQLite.
