<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>This overview assumes that you have at least a basic knowledge of SQL. You should be able to understand simple <code>SELECT</code>, <code>INSERT</code>, <code>UPDATE</code>, and <code>DELETE</code> statements. Although the <a href="qsqltablemodel.html">QSqlTableModel</a> class provides an interface to database browsing and editing that does not require a knowledge of SQL, a basic understanding of SQL is highly recommended. A standard text covering SQL databases is <i>An Introduction to Database Systems</i> (7th Ed.) by C. J. Date, ISBN 0201385902.</p>

<p>The SQL classes are divided into three layers:</p>
<a name="driver-layer"></a>
<h3 >Driver Layer</h3>
<p>This comprises the classes <a href="qsqldriver.html">QSqlDriver</a>, <a href="qsqldrivercreator.html">QSqlDriverCreator</a>, <a href="qsqldrivercreatorbase.html">QSqlDriverCreatorBase</a>, <a href="qsqldriverplugin.html">QSqlDriverPlugin</a>, and <a href="qsqlresult.html">QSqlResult</a>.</p>
<p>This layer provides the low-level bridge between the specific databases and the SQL API layer. See <a href="sql-driver.html">SQL Database Drivers</a> for more information.</p>
<a name="sql-api-layer"></a>
<h3 >SQL API Layer</h3>
<p>These classes provide access to databases. Connections are made using the <a href="qsqldatabase.html">QSqlDatabase</a> class. Database interaction is achieved by using the <a href="qsqlquery.html">QSqlQuery</a> class. In addition to <a href="qsqldatabase.html">QSqlDatabase</a> and <a href="qsqlquery.html">QSqlQuery</a>, the SQL API layer is supported by <a href="qsqlerror.html">QSqlError</a>, <a href="qsqlfield.html">QSqlField</a>, <a href="qsqlindex.html">QSqlIndex</a>, and <a href="qsqlrecord.html">QSqlRecord</a>.</p>
<a name="user-interface-layer"></a>
<h3 >User Interface Layer</h3>
<p>These classes link the data from a database to data-aware widgets. They include <a href="qsqlquerymodel.html">QSqlQueryModel</a>, <a href="qsqltablemodel.html">QSqlTableModel</a>, and <a href="qsqlrelationaltablemodel.html">QSqlRelationalTableModel</a>. These classes are designed to work with Qt's <a href="../qtwidgets/model-view-programming.html">model/view framework</a>.</p>
<p>Note that a <a href="../qtcore/qcoreapplication.html">QCoreApplication</a> object must be instantiated before using any of these classes.</p>
