Question

I am trying to run this query to SQlite database but its not executing from Qt
but when I go to navicat and execute the same query it works very fine with no problems

QSqlQuery query;
query.prepare("SELECT token FROM tokens WHERE SOUNDEX(token) = SOUNDEX('search')");

if(!query.exec()){
    QMessageBox::information(this,"Error","query won't execute"); //will be displayed
}

QSqlRecord rec = query.record();
    int cols = rec.count(); //0

where if I executed any other select stamement it works very fine

Answer 1

The problem is that the SOUNDEX algorithm is disabled by default and you have to use the compiler flag -DSQLITE_SOUNDEX=1 when building sqlite.

So you have to build the sqlite driver with this flag on, and then build the plugin by linking it to your sqlite build.
