This time, we'll go for the Terminal-style application called Qt Console Application, as we don't really need any GUI for this demonstration:
After you have created the new project, you should only see two files in the project, that is, [project_name].pro and main.cpp:
The first thing you need to do is to open up your project file (.pro), which in my case is DatabaseConnection.pro, and add the sql keyword...
