Yes there is a reason I'm not using Qt's libraries. Qt doesn't come
out with PSQL as default driver (meaning you have to manually download
the driver for Qt postgres). I'm developing a plugin for an app that
restricts Qt, no extra depedncies are allowed. But the app has libpq as
dependcy, so I'm able to use that.
