    • None

    Description

      https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#qmysql currently asks the user to install MySQL 8.0 followed by its C connector.

      However, as of MySQL 8.0.19.0, the C API is not separately installable anymore; it comes bundled with the server [1]. The default folders to use are:

      • MYSQL_INCDIR="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/include"
      • MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/lib"

      Furthermore,

      • MySQL 8.0 doesn't provide 32-bit C libraries
      • The Qt docs refer to MySQL 6.1 which doesn't exist [2] (Ignore that; the C connector has a different version numbering system [3])

      (Please double-check this information before updating the docs. It's my first time building the MySQL plugin for Qt)
