            Bug ID: 503109
           Summary: SQLite is the only available driver for the SQL plugin
                    on MacOS
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: macOS (DMG)
                OS: macOS
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: application
          Assignee: kwrite-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: tara at anne.cat
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

No other SQL drivers available except QSQLITE on MacOS. Documentation of no
help. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download latest Kate DMG from website (Version 25.07.70 at the time of this
writing).
2. Load SQL Plugin
3. Try to connect to a database

OBSERVED RESULT

QSQLITE is the only plugin available.

EXPECTED RESULT

Other plugins , like PostgreSQL available or instructions on how to install
them.

The manual says “If you can’t see the desired driver, you need to install it.”
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/kate/kate-application-plugin-sql.html#sql-intro
with no hints or extra help on how to install it. I assume it's a Qt thing,
since the drivers start with Q, but I'm ignorant about Qt, so I could be wrong.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kate: 25.07.70
KDE Frameworks: 6.12.0
Qt: Using 6.8.1 and built against 6.8.1
macOS Sequoia (15.4)
Build ABI: arm64-little_endian-lp64
Kernel: darwin 24.4.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I think it's reasonable to only ship with SQLite. If that's the case going
forward, there should be a way to add extra drivers somehow, and the Manual
should explain how.
