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 like Oracle. Postgresql is good choice for enterprise type projects.
There are many database drivers available for PostgreSQL. Here are three examples of them:
- https://github.com/bmizerany/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'll use the first one in my following examples.
We create the following SQL:
CREATE TABLE userinfo
(
uid serial NOT NULL,
username character varying(100) NOT NULL,
departname 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,departname,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 Postgres 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)
