Could you be more specific about your problem?

BTW you could maybe unite your data before viewing it, or making up your model…

what if I need to insert data like this :
person: name,lastname,job,;
contactInfo: personId,means,type

the above data have to be in the same view.

What about the QSqlRelationalTableModel? I think for this kind of relation you can use that model.

In general, you have proxy modles where you can combine data from different sources, you could create your own model that collects data from different souces…

As it seams, you want to use SQL models, I would try using a proxy model on top of the original ones to combine the data.

Ok Vcsala, but this is the maximum number of tables you can use at the same time ,you can use two tables.

it is common to display all cells as one row from different tables to be updated by the user at the same time.

Yes, Gerof is right.

(but you can set more colums and so on in an QSqlTableModel)

syrianzoro, I think that custom model will be the solution for your problem. It will take some efforts to make it, but it will cover all your neads.

Denis Kormalev, I think you are right, but I try to check if any one have other way , that will be annoying to make ModelList :) , and I will be obliged to make a custom QTableView .

You shall not create a view, you shall create a model. And creating models is not so dificult, I did that many times now.

You just have to decide, whether you create your own model or a proxy model. If you don’t need the single base models stand alone, creating one model is easier than creating a proxy model.

More about creating xutsom model can be found here [doc.qt.nokia.com]

Afaik there are no model inside Qt where you can combine different sources into one model. Perhaps there is some thirt party solution, but that I don’t know.

and I will be obliged to make a custom QTableView

It does not make any sense that a (Table)View works on more than one model. From both a programmers and a users view this is not intuitive and error prone.

As Gerolf already suggested, it’s the best to make either your own ItemViewModel or try to combine the existing ones (you can add more than one table to QSqlRelationalTableModel).

It seems that you are gathering data from a database. If that is the case and you just need a read-only view you can just combine the data sources (tables) on your sql statement and use a QSqlQueryModel

Actually it is not true, the number of the tables is not limited. You have a master table which has several foreign keys to other tables and you can set all the relations to those tables. If you want to do a read/write model it is recommended to use the QSqlRelationalDelegate.
