# Qt SQL

The Qt SQL module provides support for SQL databases. Qt SQL's APIs are divided into different layers:

- Driver layer
- SQL API layer
- User interface layer

The SQL Programming guide contains information about development using Qt SQL.

## Using the Module

Using a Qt module's C++ API requires linking against the module library, either directly or through other dependencies. Several build tools have dedicated support for this, including CMake and qmake.

### Building with CMake

Use the `find_package()` command to locate the needed module component in the `Qt6` package:

     find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Sql)
     target_link_libraries(mytarget PRIVATE Qt6::Sql)

For more details, see the Build with CMake overview.

### Building with qmake

To configure the module for building with qmake, add the module as a value of the `QT` variable in the project's .pro file:

     QT += sql
