.SS "QSqlError OPL::Database::lastError"

.PP
Holds information about the last error that ocurred during a SQL operation\&. If the error type is QSqlError::UnknownError, the error is related to data from the database (entry not found,\&.\&.\&.), otherwise the error is related to SQL execution\&. In this case error\&.type() provides further information\&. If the error type is QSqlError::NoError, the last executed database query was successful\&.
