This project is included into Qt Jambi 4.4, so if you download the 
latest package you will find it in:

com.trolltech.qt.sql.QJdbc

I see that its not mentioned in the API docs, so I'll have a look at why...

In this case you are missing the qtjambi-4.4.3_01.jar in the CLASSPATH

There is a shell script in the package that should set the env for you. 
On windows this should work without problems, on linux there might be 
some hickups if you have a non-standard shell interpreter.
