The code we just described is fully functional. But it can be strengthened, specifically with the AlbumDao::albums() function. In this function, we iterate through the database rows and create a new Album to fill a list. We can zoom in on this specific code section:
QVector<Album*> list;
while(query.next()) {
Album* album = new Album();
album->setId(query.value("id").toInt());
album->setName(query.value("name").toString());
list.append(album);
}
return list;

The Qt framework does not rely on exceptions, but this cannot be said for every API available in the wild. An exception here would cause a memory leak: the Album* album function has...
