Hello Everyone. I am looking for a little advice/help. I am coding a GUI application with the Qt framework. The main goal is for it to run in Windows, but a reason I chose the Qt framework was to be able to port it over to Linux as easy as possible.
The question I have is this GUI application is going to interact with a database, and is going to be commercially distributed. I understand to do that, I have to purchase a license from MySQL, but before I do that, I need to know how MySQL embedded works. I would like to be able to install this application through an easy install shield that installs MySQL, the GUI, and the database files automatically. Is this easy to do/possible? Maybe someone can point me in the right direction for a tutorial on such a project. Maybe someone here could also explain exactly how MySQL embedded works. Is mysql installed normally, and its just a dll type file that connects to the database?
I would really like to do this project without having to use Access. Please give me any information to point me in the right direction
