Summary

This chapter illustrated how to connect to databases when developing Qt applications. We learned how to use models to serve as an abstraction for manipulating data in a database. Finally, the information in the database table was displayed with the aid of Model-View classes. These classes make it easy to extract data for display, while allowing changes made in the view to be propagated to the database.
