You don't need a full PostgreSQL installation, all you need is the
client library which is normally available as dll. Also you always need
that client lib no matter how you do the db access (i.e. Qt, some python
module...)

I think you're confused about what your model actually should "model". I
thought it would show a part of your database and each time a new record
is inserted that should be reflected in the model. If thats the case
insertRecord should create a new row and use the begin/endInsertRows
calls. If not then  I don't understand why insertRecord is in that model
at all.
