Hi, Nick.

I may be wrong, but I've always assumed that the call to setDatabaseName()
takes a file-system path to the sqlite database file, something like (untested):

    QString db_name = QString("%1%2db1.sqlite")
                            .arg(QDir::homePath())
                            .arg(QDir::separator());
    QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "db1");
    db.setDatabaseName(QDir::toNativeSeparators(db_name));
    if(!db.open())
        return false;


Render me gone,                       |||
