PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system available for many platforms including Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. It is released under an MIT-style license, and is thus free and open source software. It's larger than MySQL because it's designed for enterprise usage as an alternative to Oracle. Postgresql is a good choice for enterprise type projects.
There are many database drivers available for PostgreSQL. Here are three examples of them:
- https://github.com/lib/pq supports
database/sql
, written in pure Go. - https://github.com/jbarham/gopgsqldriver supports
database/sql
, written in pure Go. - https://github.com/lxn/go-pgsql supports
database/sql
, written in pure Go.
I will use the first one in the examples that follow.
We create the following SQL:
CREATE TABLE userinfo
(
uid serial NOT NULL,
username character varying(100) NOT NULL,
department character varying(500) NOT NULL,
Created date,
CONSTRAINT userinfo_pkey PRIMARY KEY (uid)
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
An example:
package main
import (
"database/sql"
"fmt"
_ "github.com/lib/pq"
"time"
)
const (
DB_USER = "postgres"
DB_PASSWORD = "postgres"
DB_NAME = "test"
)
func main() {
dbinfo := fmt.Sprintf("user=%s password=%s dbname=%s sslmode=disable",
DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME)
db, err := sql.Open("postgres", dbinfo)
checkErr(err)
defer db.Close()
fmt.Println("# Inserting values")
var lastInsertId int
err = db.QueryRow("INSERT INTO userinfo(username,department,created) VALUES($1,$2,$3) returning uid;", "astaxie", "研发部门", "2012-12-09").Scan(&lastInsertId)
checkErr(err)
fmt.Println("last inserted id =", lastInsertId)
fmt.Println("# Updating")
stmt, err := db.Prepare("update userinfo set username=$1 where uid=$2")
checkErr(err)
res, err := stmt.Exec("astaxieupdate", lastInsertId)
checkErr(err)
affect, err := res.RowsAffected()
checkErr(err)
fmt.Println(affect, "rows changed")
fmt.Println("# Querying")
rows, err := db.Query("SELECT * FROM userinfo")
checkErr(err)
for rows.Next() {
var uid int
var username string
var department string
var created time.Time
err = rows.Scan(&uid, &username, &department, &created)
checkErr(err)
fmt.Println("uid | username | department | created ")
fmt.Printf("%3v | %8v | %6v | %6v\n", uid, username, department, created)
}
fmt.Println("# Deleting")
stmt, err = db.Prepare("delete from userinfo where uid=$1")
checkErr(err)
res, err = stmt.Exec(lastInsertId)
checkErr(err)
affect, err = res.RowsAffected()
checkErr(err)
fmt.Println(affect, "rows changed")
}
func checkErr(err error) {
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
Note that PostgreSQL uses the $1, $2
format instead of the ?
that MySQL uses, and it has a different DSN format in sql.Open
.
Another thing is that the PostgreSQL driver does not support sql.Result.LastInsertId()
.
So instead of this,
stmt, err := db.Prepare("INSERT INTO userinfo(username,departname,created) VALUES($1,$2,$3);")
res, err := stmt.Exec("astaxie", "研发部门", "2012-12-09")
fmt.Println(res.LastInsertId())
use db.QueryRow()
and .Scan()
to get the value for the last inserted id.
err = db.QueryRow("INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME values($1) returning uid;", VALUE1").Scan(&lastInsertId)
fmt.Println(lastInsertId)
