QtSql
QtSql is a framework module of the Qt Project, providing database connectivity and query execution for applications built with Qt. It offers support for multiple database backends including SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and ODBC, allowing developers to write database-agnostic code that works across platforms. QtSql is used by developers building cross-platform desktop and embedded applications that require persistent data storage. The framework itself does not run as a standalone application — instead, it is linked into and updated alongside the host Qt Framework installation.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionQtSql is an embedded framework component of the Qt Project and is not separately downloadable or updatable from the App Store or generic vendor sites. To ensure you have a native Apple Silicon build of QtSql, you must update the Qt Framework itself through the official Qt installer or your organisation's Qt deployment mechanism. Visit the Qt Project website (qt.io) and download the latest version of the Qt Framework for macOS, making sure to select the Apple Silicon (arm64) variant during installation — this will include a native build of QtSql and all other framework modules. If you installed Qt through a package manager like Homebrew, run brew upgrade qt or your package manager's equivalent to pull the latest native build. Developers using Qt Creator should ensure Qt Creator itself is running a native build and pointing to a native Qt installation; this is checked in Qt Creator's Kit settings under Preferences → Kits. As of May 2026, there is still time before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), but updating now will ensure your development environment and any applications you build with QtSql will remain compatible.
