RESOURCES

DB
• Not a connection.
• Open() Close()
• Query() QueryRow() Exec()

package main
import (
! _ "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql"
! "database/sql"
! "log"
)
func main() {
! db, err := sql.Open("mysql",
! ! "user:password@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/test")
! if err != nil {
! ! log.Println(err)
! }
! // What do we have here?
! defer db.Close()
}

var str string
err = db.QueryRow(
"select hello from world where id = 1").
Scan(&str)
if err != nil && err != sql.ErrNoRows {
log.Println(err)
}
log.Println(str)

q := "select id, hello from world where id = ?"
rows, err := db.Query(q, 1)
if err != nil {
! log.Fatal(err)
}
defer rows.Close()
var id int
var str string
for rows.Next() {
! err = rows.Scan(&id, &str)
! if err != nil {
! ! log.Fatal(err)
! }
! // Use the variables scanned from the row
}

for rows.Next() {
! // scan
}
if err = rows.Err(); err != nil {
rows.Close()
log.Fatal(err)
}

stmt, err := db.Prepare(
! "select id, hello from world where id = ?")
if err != nil {
! log.Fatal(err)
}
defer stmt.Close()
rows, err := stmt.Query(1)
if err != nil {
! log.Fatal(err)
}
defer rows.Close()
for rows.Next() {
! // ...
}

stmt, err := db.Prepare(
! "insert into world(hello) values(?)")
if err != nil {
! log.Fatal(err)
}
defer stmt.Close()
res, err := stmt.Exec("hello, Dolly")
if err != nil {
! log.Fatal(err)
}

THINGSTO KNOW
• There is a connection pool.
• You can’t use uint64 with high bit set in parameters.

// Don’t do this!
for i := 0; i < 50; i++ {
! _, err := db.Query("DELETE FROM hello.world")
}
// Use this instead!
for i := 0; i < 50; i++ {
! _, err := db.Exec("DELETE FROM hello.world")
}

MORE HELPFUL ADVICE
• Don’t defer() in long-running functions.
• Don’t use cxn state. UseTx to bind to a connection.
• Don’t use BEGIN and COMMIT via SQL.

RETRY. RETRY. RETRY. RETRY. RETRY.
RETRY. RETRY. RETRY. RETRY. RETRY.

// Exec executes a query without returning any
rows.
// The args are for any placeholder parameters in
the query.
func (db *DB) Exec(query string,
args ...interface{}) (Result, error) {
! var res Result
! var err error
! for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
! ! res, err = db.exec(query, args)
! ! if err != driver.ErrBadConn {
! ! ! break
! ! }
! }
! return res, err
}

NULL
This page intentionally left blank.

var s sql.NullString
err := db.QueryRow(
"SELECT name FROM foo WHERE id=?",
id).Scan(&s)
if s.Valid {
// use s.String
} else {
// NULL value
}

CUSTOMTYPES
• You can implement theValuer and Scanner interfaces.
• Why?Transparently transform data in <=> out of the DB.
• Compress and uncompress.
• Marshall/unmarshall JSON or another type.
• Encrypt and decrypt.
• See e.g. http://jmoiron.net/blog/built-in-interfaces/
