Trolltech Qt Gets Server-Side Support

July 15, 2005 —  Trolltech is reaching out beyond its GUI roots.

The Olso, Norway-based company late last month updated Qt, making it easier to connect its cross-platform GUI development tool to back-end databases. Qt 4 automates the process of linking to IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle databases, said Trolltech president Eirik Chambe-Eng.

Also new is support for threading, which lets Qt developers take advantage of multicore processing technology, and integration with Visual Studio .NET, which lets Microsoft developers writing applications designed to run under operating systems other than Windows use Qt from within their familiar environment.

Qt enables C++ developers to deploy from a single codebase applications that can run natively on Linux, Mac OS X, Unix and Windows, noted Chambe-Eng. “It shields the developer from having to know what is happening with the operating system.” Qt 4 also offers improved graphics features, such as the ability to add gradient color effects, he said.
