1.下载最新的Connector
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/cpp/，下载带debug的库。

解压缩到本地，本次使用的是带debug模式的connector库：

注：其中mysqlcppconn与mysqlcppconn8的区别是：

2.在cmakelist中定义寻址头文件的路径与库的路径

#定义头文件需要寻址的路径
include_directories(
    D:/Library/mysql-connector-c++-8.2.0-winx64/include/jdbc
)

#定义库文件需要寻址的路径
link_directories(
    D:/Library/mysql-connector-c++-8.2.0-winx64/lib64/vs14/debug
)

target_link_libraries(QtDemo2
        Qt5::Core
        Qt5::Gui
        Qt5::Widgets
        ......
        mysqlcppconn
)

3.复制对应的DLL到可执行目录
把D:\Library\mysql-connector-c+±8.2.0-winx64\lib64\debug中的mysqlcppconn-9-vs14.dll复制到项目的可执行目录下。

3.基础使用
