There could be many reasons for the failure of QT to connect to an Oracle database, here are some possible solutions:

  1. Check the status of the Oracle database: Make sure the Oracle database has been properly installed and configured, and is running. You can check the status of the database using either the command line or Oracle management tools.
  2. Check the connection parameters: Ensure that the required parameters for connecting to an Oracle database, including hostname, port number, username, and password, are set correctly in QT.
  3. Check the network connection: If QT and the Oracle database are not on the same machine, make sure the network connection is working properly. You can try using other tools like SQL Developer to connect to the Oracle database to verify the network connection.
  4. Check the firewall settings: If there is a firewall between QT and the Oracle database, make sure the firewall allows QT to connect to the Oracle database through the specified port.
  5. Check the settings of the Oracle database listener to ensure that it is properly configured to listen on the IP address and port number of the machine where QT resides.
  6. Check the OCI driver for QT: In order for QT to connect to an Oracle database, it needs to use the OCI driver. Make sure that the OCI driver is correctly installed and configured, and that QT can load the driver correctly.
  7. Check the versions of QT and Oracle database: Ensure that the versions of QT and Oracle database are compatible. If they are not compatible, try upgrading QT or downgrading the version of Oracle database.
  8. Check the QT log information: QT can output detailed log information for connecting to the Oracle database. Reviewing the log information can help pinpoint issues. Set up log output in QT and review the log information.

If the above method does not solve the problem, you can further investigate the issue based on the specific error messages and situations, or try using other methods to connect to the Oracle database, such as using ODBC.
