Well, the compiler tells you exactly what the problem is: load() returns
Sortie* and left-hand-side is QSharedPointer<Sortie>. And that assignment
is not valid. Which one would be valid? For example, QSharedPointer<Sortie>
to QSharedPointer<Sortie>. Why is load() returning Sortie* instead of
QSharedPointer<Sortie>? Because you haven't told ODB that your object
pointers should be something other than raw pointers (see Section 3.3,
"Object and View Pointers" in the manual).
