With the MySQL driver, it is possible to connect to a MySQL server. In order to
build the QMYSQL Plugin for Unix or \macos, you need the MySQL header files
as well as the shared library, libmysqlclient.so. To compile the plugin
for Windows, install MySQL.
With all the SQL drivers, with the exception of SQLite, you can connect to a
server that is hosting your database system. If you use the embedded MySQL Server,
you do not need a MySQL server in order to use that database system.
If you use the embedded MySQL Server, you do not need a MySQL server in order
to use that database system. In order to do so, you need to link the Qt plugin
to libmysqld instead of libmysqlclient.
For instructions on how to build the SQL database drivers, see \l{SQL Database Drivers}.
The Qt SQLite plugin is very suitable for local storage. SQLite is a relational
database management system contained in a small (~350 KiB) C library.
