Qt SQL driver plugin for SQLCipher

This is a QSqlDriverPlugin for SQLCipher. It is quite simple - it uses Qt's own SQLite driver code but links against SQLCipher instead of SQLite.

Dependencies

  • Qt 5
  • SQLCipher
  • CMake >= 3.0
  • pkg-config

Tested platforms

  • OS X 10.10 Yosemite

    • Qt 5.5.0 from Homebrew
    • SQLCipher 3.3.0 from Homebrew
  • Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet

    • Qt 5.4.1
    • SQLCipher 3.2.0
    • Also requires qtbase5-private-dev for Qt's private headers.

Deployment

Follow Qt's plugin deployment guide. In short, put the plugin at sqldrivers/libqsqlcipher.so relative to your executable.

Static linking

You can also build the plugin statically by passing -DSTATIC=ON to CMake. When you build your application which uses the static plugin, you'll need to include the line Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QSQLCipherDriverPlugin); in one of your source files and define QT_STATICPLUGIN at compile time. And link to the static plugin, of course.

Note that setting -DSTATIC=ON only builds this plugin as a static library. If you also want to link to static versions of Qt and/or SQLCipher, it's up to you to make sure CMake finds static versions of those libraries.

Tests

Some basic tests are included - run make test. Note that while pretty much any C++ compiler can build the actual plugin, the tests require support for C++14. If you have an old compiler you can pass -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF to CMake to skip building the tests.


Old version

This repository used to contain a different method of achieving the same result, but which required you to have the full Qt source tree available. That code is available in the old branch of this repository.
