Embedded Database in Qt

I have a SQLite database for my Qt application. I assume that it would be logical to add the database as a resource.

I can't get my app to compile with the embedded resource.

connection.h

#ifndef CONNECTION_H
#define CONNECTION_H

#include <QMessageBox>
#include <QSqlDatabase>
#include <QSqlError>
#include <QSqlQuery>

static bool createConnection()
{
    QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");
    db.setDatabaseName(":/data/ShippingData.db3");
    if (!db.open())
    {
        QMessageBox::critical(0, QObject::tr("Database Error"), db.lastError().text());
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

#endif // CONNECTION_H

assets.qrc

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/data">
        <file>ShippingData.db3</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

My sqlite database right now is like this

  app.pro
  file.h
  file.cpp
  data/ShippingData.db3

Build Issue (From Qt Creator)

No rule to make target `../TimePlotter/Shipping.db3', needed by `debug/qrc_assets.cpp'. Stop.

I tried changing my resource layout because it from the message the compiler isn't going into the data/ folder where the database is. I get the exact same build issue with this resource file

<RCC>
    <qresource>
        <file>data/ShippingData.db3</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>
