Overview

Package sql provides a generic interface around SQL (or SQL-like) databases.

The sql package must be used in conjunction with a database driver. See https://golang.org/s/sqldrivers for a list of drivers.

Drivers that do not support context cancellation will not return until after the query is completed.

For usage examples, see the wiki page at https://golang.org/s/sqlwiki.

Code:

package sql_test

import (
    "context"
    "database/sql"
    "flag"
    "log"
    "os"
    "os/signal"
    "time"
)

var pool *sql.DB // Database connection pool.

func Example_openDBCLI() {
    id := flag.Int64("id", 0, "person ID to find")
    dsn := flag.String("dsn", os.Getenv("DSN"), "connection data source name")
    flag.Parse()

    if len(*dsn) == 0 {
        log.Fatal("missing dsn flag")
    }
    if *id == 0 {
        log.Fatal("missing person ID")
    }
    var err error

    // Opening a driver typically will not attempt to connect to the database.
    pool, err = sql.Open("driver-name", *dsn)
    if err != nil {
        // This will not be a connection error, but a DSN parse error or
        // another initialization error.
        log.Fatal("unable to use data source name", err)
    }
    defer pool.Close()

    pool.SetConnMaxLifetime(0)
    pool.SetMaxIdleConns(3)
    pool.SetMaxOpenConns(3)

    ctx, stop := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
    defer stop()

    signal.Notify(appSignal, os.Interrupt)

    go func() {
        select {
        case <-appSignal:
            stop()
        }
    }()

    Ping(ctx)

    Query(ctx, *id)
}

// Ping the database to verify DSN provided by the user is valid and the
// server accessible. If the ping fails exit the program with an error.
func Ping(ctx context.Context) {
    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 1*time.Second)
    defer cancel()

    if err := pool.PingContext(ctx); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("unable to connect to database: %v", err)
    }
}

// Query the database for the information requested and prints the results.
// If the query fails exit the program with an error.
func Query(ctx context.Context, id int64) {
    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 5*time.Second)
    defer cancel()

    var name string
    err := pool.QueryRowContext(ctx, "select p.name from people as p where p.id = :id;", sql.Named("id", id)).Scan(&name)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("unable to execute search query", err)
    }
    log.Println("name=", name)

var ErrConnDone = errors.New("sql: connection is already closed")

ErrConnDone is returned by any operation that is performed on a connection that has already been returned to the connection pool.

var ErrNoRows = errors.New("sql: no rows in result set")

ErrNoRows is returned by Scan when QueryRow doesn't return a row. In such a case, QueryRow returns a placeholder *Row value that defers this error until a Scan.

var ErrTxDone = errors.New("sql: transaction has already been committed or rolled back")

ErrTxDone is returned by any operation that is performed on a transaction that has already been committed or rolled back.

func Drivers

func Drivers() []string

Drivers returns a sorted list of the names of the registered drivers.

func Register

func Register(name string, driver driver.Driver)

Register makes a database driver available by the provided name. If Register is called twice with the same name or if driver is nil, it panics.

type ColumnType

type ColumnType struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ColumnType contains the name and type of a column.

func ColumnType.DatabaseTypeName

func (ci *ColumnType) DatabaseTypeName() string

DatabaseTypeName returns the database system name of the column type. If an empty string is returned the driver type name is not supported. Consult your driver documentation for a list of driver data types. Length specifiers are not included. Common type include "VARCHAR", "TEXT", "NVARCHAR", "DECIMAL", "BOOL", "INT", "BIGINT".

func ColumnType.DecimalSize

func (ci *ColumnType) DecimalSize() (precision, scale int64, ok bool)

DecimalSize returns the scale and precision of a decimal type. If not applicable or if not supported ok is false.

func ColumnType.Length

func (ci *ColumnType) Length() (length int64, ok bool)

Length returns the column type length for variable length column types such as text and binary field types. If the type length is unbounded the value will be math.MaxInt64 (any database limits will still apply). If the column type is not variable length, such as an int, or if not supported by the driver ok is false.

func ColumnType.Name

func (ci *ColumnType) Name() string

Name returns the name or alias of the column.

func ColumnType.Nullable

func (ci *ColumnType) Nullable() (nullable, ok bool)

Nullable reports whether the column may be null. If a driver does not support this property ok will be false.

func ColumnType.ScanType

func (ci *ColumnType) ScanType() reflect.Type

ScanType returns a Go type suitable for scanning into using Rows.Scan. If a driver does not support this property ScanType will return the type of an empty interface.

type Conn

type Conn struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Conn represents a single database connection rather than a pool of database connections. Prefer running queries from DB unless there is a specific need for a continuous single database connection.

A Conn must call Close to return the connection to the database pool and may do so concurrently with a running query.

After a call to Close, all operations on the connection fail with ErrConnDone.

func Conn.BeginTx

func (c *Conn) BeginTx(ctx context.Context, opts *TxOptions) (*Tx, error)

BeginTx starts a transaction.

The provided context is used until the transaction is committed or rolled back. If the context is canceled, the sql package will roll back the transaction. Tx.Commit will return an error if the context provided to BeginTx is canceled.

The provided TxOptions is optional and may be nil if defaults should be used. If a non-default isolation level is used that the driver doesn't support, an error will be returned.

Code:

tx, err := db.BeginTx(ctx, &sql.TxOptions{Isolation: sql.LevelSerializable})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
id := 37
_, execErr := tx.Exec(`UPDATE users SET status = ? WHERE id = ?`, "paid", id)
if execErr != nil {
    _ = tx.Rollback()
    log.Fatal(execErr)
}
if err := tx.Commit(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

func Conn.Close

func (c *Conn) Close() error

Close returns the connection to the connection pool. All operations after a Close will return with ErrConnDone. Close is safe to call concurrently with other operations and will block until all other operations finish. It may be useful to first cancel any used context and then call close directly after.

func Conn.ExecContext

func (c *Conn) ExecContext(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) (Result, error)

ExecContext executes a query without returning any rows. The args are for any placeholder parameters in the query.

Code:

// A *DB is a pool of connections. Call Conn to reserve a connection for
// exclusive use.
conn, err := db.Conn(ctx)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer conn.Close() // Return the connection to the pool.
id := 41
result, err := conn.ExecContext(ctx, `UPDATE balances SET balance = balance + 10 WHERE user_id = ?;`, id)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
rows, err := result.RowsAffected()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
if rows != 1 {
    log.Fatalf("expected single row affected, got %d rows affected", rows)
}

func Conn.PingContext

func (c *Conn) PingContext(ctx context.Context) error

PingContext verifies the connection to the database is still alive.

func Conn.PrepareContext

func (c *Conn) PrepareContext(ctx context.Context, query string) (*Stmt, error)

PrepareContext creates a prepared statement for later queries or executions. Multiple queries or executions may be run concurrently from the returned statement. The caller must call the statement's Close method when the statement is no longer needed.

The provided context is used for the preparation of the statement, not for the execution of the statement.

func Conn.QueryContext

func (c *Conn) QueryContext(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) (*Rows, error)

QueryContext executes a query that returns rows, typically a SELECT. The args are for any placeholder parameters in the query.

func Conn.QueryRowContext

func (c *Conn) QueryRowContext(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) *Row

QueryRowContext executes a query that is expected to return at most one row. QueryRowContext always returns a non-nil value. Errors are deferred until Row's Scan method is called. If the query selects no rows, the *Row's Scan will return ErrNoRows. Otherwise, the *Row's Scan scans the first selected row and discards the rest.

func Conn.Raw

func (c *Conn) Raw(f func(driverConn interface{}) error) (err error)

Raw executes f exposing the underlying driver connection for the duration of f. The driverConn must not be used outside of f.

Once f returns and err is nil, the Conn will continue to be usable until Conn.Close is called.

type DB

type DB struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

DB is a database handle representing a pool of zero or more underlying connections. It's safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.

The sql package creates and frees connections automatically; it also maintains a free pool of idle connections. If the database has a concept of per-connection state, such state can be reliably observed within a transaction (Tx) or connection (Conn). Once DB.Begin is called, the returned Tx is bound to a single connection. Once Commit or Rollback is called on the transaction, that transaction's connection is returned to DB's idle connection pool. The pool size can be controlled with SetMaxIdleConns.

func Open

func Open(driverName, dataSourceName string) (*DB, error)

Open opens a database specified by its database driver name and a driver-specific data source name, usually consisting of at least a database name and connection information.

Most users will open a database via a driver-specific connection helper function that returns a *DB. No database drivers are included in the Go standard library. See https://golang.org/s/sqldrivers for a list of third-party drivers.

Open may just validate its arguments without creating a connection to the database. To verify that the data source name is valid, call Ping.

The returned DB is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines and maintains its own pool of idle connections. Thus, the Open function should be called just once. It is rarely necessary to close a DB.

func OpenDB

func OpenDB(c driver.Connector) *DB

OpenDB opens a database using a Connector, allowing drivers to bypass a string based data source name.

Most users will open a database via a driver-specific connection helper function that returns a *DB. No database drivers are included in the Go standard library. See https://golang.org/s/sqldrivers for a list of third-party drivers.

OpenDB may just validate its arguments without creating a connection to the database. To verify that the data source name is valid, call Ping.

The returned DB is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines and maintains its own pool of idle connections. Thus, the OpenDB function should be called just once. It is rarely necessary to close a DB.

func DB.Begin

func (db *DB) Begin() (*Tx, error)

Begin starts a transaction. The default isolation level is dependent on the driver.

func DB.BeginTx

func (db *DB) BeginTx(ctx context.Context, opts *TxOptions) (*Tx, error)

BeginTx starts a transaction.

The provided context is used until the transaction is committed or rolled back. If the context is canceled, the sql package will roll back the transaction. Tx.Commit will return an error if the context provided to BeginTx is canceled.

The provided TxOptions is optional and may be nil if defaults should be used. If a non-default isolation level is used that the driver doesn't support, an error will be returned.

func DB.Close

func (db *DB) Close() error

Close closes the database and prevents new queries from starting. Close then waits for all queries that have started processing on the server to finish.

It is rare to Close a DB, as the DB handle is meant to be long-lived and shared between many goroutines.

func DB.Conn

func (db *DB) Conn(ctx context.Context) (*Conn, error)

Conn returns a single connection by either opening a new connection or returning an existing connection from the connection pool. Conn will block until either a connection is returned or ctx is canceled. Queries run on the same Conn will be run in the same database session.

Every Conn must be returned to the database pool after use by calling Conn.Close.

func DB.Driver

func (db *DB) Driver() driver.Driver

Driver returns the database's underlying driver.

func DB.Exec

func (db *DB) Exec(query string, args ...interface{}) (Result, error)

Exec executes a query without returning any rows. The args are for any placeholder parameters in the query.

func DB.ExecContext

func (db *DB) ExecContext(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) (Result, error)

ExecContext executes a query without returning any rows. The args are for any placeholder parameters in the query.

Code:

id := 47
result, err := db.ExecContext(ctx, "UPDATE balances SET balance = balance + 10 WHERE user_id = ?", id)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
rows, err := result.RowsAffected()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
if rows != 1 {
    log.Fatalf("expected to affect 1 row, affected %d", rows)
}

func DB.Ping

func (db *DB) Ping() error

Ping verifies a connection to the database is still alive, establishing a connection if necessary.

func DB.PingContext

func (db *DB) PingContext(ctx context.Context) error

PingContext verifies a connection to the database is still alive, establishing a connection if necessary.

Code:

// Ping and PingContext may be used to determine if communication with
// the database server is still possible.
//
// When used in a command line application Ping may be used to establish
// that further queries are possible; that the provided DSN is valid.
//
// When used in long running service Ping may be part of the health
// checking system.

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 1*time.Second)
defer cancel()

status := "up"
if err := db.PingContext(ctx); err != nil {
    status = "down"
}
log.Println(status)

func DB.Prepare

func (db *DB) Prepare(query string) (*Stmt, error)

Prepare creates a prepared statement for later queries or executions. Multiple queries or executions may be run concurrently from the returned statement. The caller must call the statement's Close method when the statement is no longer needed.

Code:

projects := []struct {
    mascot  string
    release int
}{
    {"tux", 1991},
    {"duke", 1996},
    {"gopher", 2009},
    {"moby dock", 2013},
}

stmt, err := db.Prepare("INSERT INTO projects(id, mascot, release, category) VALUES( ?, ?, ?, ? )")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer stmt.Close() // Prepared statements take up server resources and should be closed after use.

for id, project := range projects {

        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

func DB.PrepareContext

func (db *DB) PrepareContext(ctx context.Context, query string) (*Stmt, error)

PrepareContext creates a prepared statement for later queries or executions. Multiple queries or executions may be run concurrently from the returned statement. The caller must call the statement's Close method when the statement is no longer needed.

The provided context is used for the preparation of the statement, not for the execution of the statement.

func DB.Query

func (db *DB) Query(query string, args ...interface{}) (*Rows, error)

Query executes a query that returns rows, typically a SELECT. The args are for any placeholder parameters in the query.

Code:

age := 27
q := `
create temp table uid (id bigint); -- Create temp table for queries.
insert into uid
select id from users where age < ?; -- Populate temp table.

-- First result set.
select
	users.id, name
from
	users
	join uid on users.id = uid.id
;

-- Second result set.
select 
	ur.user, ur.role
from
	user_roles as ur

        // Query rows will be closed with defer.
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    names = append(names, name)
}
// If the database is being written to ensure to check for Close
// errors that may be returned from the driver. The query may
// encounter an auto-commit error and be forced to rollback changes.
rerr := rows.Close()
if rerr != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Rows.Err will report the last error encountered by Rows.Scan.
if err := rows.Err(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s are %d years old", strings.Join(names, ", "), age)

func DB.QueryRow

func (db *DB) QueryRow(query string, args ...interface{}) *Row

QueryRow executes a query that is expected to return at most one row. QueryRow always returns a non-nil value. Errors are deferred until Row's Scan method is called. If the query selects no rows, the *Row's Scan will return ErrNoRows. Otherwise, the *Row's Scan scans the first selected row and discards the rest.

func DB.QueryRowContext

func (db *DB) QueryRowContext(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) *Row

QueryRowContext executes a query that is expected to return at most one row. QueryRowContext always returns a non-nil value. Errors are deferred until Row's Scan method is called. If the query selects no rows, the *Row's Scan will return ErrNoRows. Otherwise, the *Row's Scan scans the first selected row and discards the rest.

Code:

id := 123
var username string
var created time.Time
err := db.QueryRowContext(ctx, "SELECT username, created_at FROM users WHERE id=?", id).Scan(&username, &created)
switch {
case err == sql.ErrNoRows:
    log.Printf("no user with id %d\n", id)
case err != nil:
    log.Fatalf("query error: %v\n", err)
default:
    log.Printf("username is %q, account created on %s\n", username, created)
}

func DB.SetConnMaxLifetime

Expired connections may be closed lazily before reuse.

If d <= 0, connections are reused forever.

func DB.SetMaxIdleConns

func (db *DB) SetMaxIdleConns(n int)

SetMaxIdleConns sets the maximum number of connections in the idle connection pool.

If MaxOpenConns is greater than 0 but less than the new MaxIdleConns, then the new MaxIdleConns will be reduced to match the MaxOpenConns limit.

The default max idle connections is currently 2. This may change in a future release.

func DB.SetMaxOpenConns

func (db *DB) SetMaxOpenConns(n int)

SetMaxOpenConns sets the maximum number of open connections to the database.

If MaxIdleConns is greater than 0 and the new MaxOpenConns is less than MaxIdleConns, then MaxIdleConns will be reduced to match the new MaxOpenConns limit.

If n <= 0, then there is no limit on the number of open connections. The default is 0 (unlimited).

func (db *DB) Stats() DBStats

Stats returns database statistics.

type DBStats

type DBStats struct {
    MaxOpenConnections int // Maximum number of open connections to the database.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_(database_systems)#Isolation_levels.

func IsolationLevel.String

func (i IsolationLevel) String() string

String returns the name of the transaction isolation level.

type NamedArg

type NamedArg struct {

    // Name is the name of the parameter placeholder.
    //
    // If empty, the ordinal position in the argument list will be
    // used.
    //

    Name string

    // Value is the value of the parameter.
    // It may be assigned the same value types as the query
    // arguments.
    Value interface{}
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A NamedArg is a named argument. NamedArg values may be used as arguments to Query or Exec and bind to the corresponding named parameter in the SQL statement.

For a more concise way to create NamedArg values, see the Named function.

func Named

    Dest interface{}

    // In is whether the parameter is an INOUT parameter. If so, the input value to the stored
    // procedure is the dereferenced value of Dest's pointer, which is then replaced with
    // the output value.
    In  bool
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Out may be used to retrieve OUTPUT value parameters from stored procedures.

Not all drivers and databases support OUTPUT value parameters.

Example usage:

var outArg string
_, err := db.ExecContext(ctx, "ProcName", sql.Named("Arg1", sql.Out{Dest: &outArg}))

type RawBytes

type RawBytes []byte

RawBytes is a byte slice that holds a reference to memory owned by the database itself. After a Scan into a RawBytes, the slice is only valid until the next call to Next, Scan, or Close.

type Result

type Result interface {
    // LastInsertId returns the integer generated by the database
    // in response to a command. Typically this will be from an
    // "auto increment" column when inserting a new row. Not all
    // databases support this feature, and the syntax of such
    // statements varies.
    LastInsertId() (int64, error)

    // RowsAffected returns the number of rows affected by an
    // update, insert, or delete. Not every database or database
    // driver may support this.

type Row

type Row struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Row is the result of calling QueryRow to select a single row.

func Row.Scan

func (r *Row) Scan(dest ...interface{}) error

Scan copies the columns from the matched row into the values pointed at by dest. See the documentation on Rows.Scan for details. If more than one row matches the query, Scan uses the first row and discards the rest. If no row matches the query, Scan returns ErrNoRows.

type Rows

type Rows struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Rows is the result of a query. Its cursor starts before the first row of the result set. Use Next to advance from row to row.

Code:

age := 27
rows, err := db.QueryContext(ctx, "SELECT name FROM users WHERE age=?", age)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer rows.Close()

names := make([]string, 0)
for rows.Next() {
    var name string
    if err := rows.Scan(&name); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    names = append(names, name)
}
// Check for errors from iterating over rows.
if err := rows.Err(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Printf("%s are %d years old", strings.Join(names, ", "), age)

func Rows.Close

func (rs *Rows) Close() error

Close closes the Rows, preventing further enumeration. If Next is called and returns false and there are no further result sets, the Rows are closed automatically and it will suffice to check the result of Err. Close is idempotent and does not affect the result of Err.

func Rows.ColumnTypes

func (rs *Rows) ColumnTypes() ([]*ColumnType, error)

ColumnTypes returns column information such as column type, length, and nullable. Some information may not be available from some drivers.

func Rows.Columns

func (rs *Rows) Columns() ([]string, error)

Columns returns the column names. Columns returns an error if the rows are closed.

func Rows.Err

func (rs *Rows) Err() error

Err returns the error, if any, that was encountered during iteration. Err may be called after an explicit or implicit Close.

func Rows.Next

func (rs *Rows) Next() bool

Next prepares the next result row for reading with the Scan method. It returns true on success, or false if there is no next result row or an error happened while preparing it. Err should be consulted to distinguish between the two cases.

Every call to Scan, even the first one, must be preceded by a call to Next.

func Rows.NextResultSet

func (rs *Rows) NextResultSet() bool

NextResultSet prepares the next result set for reading. It reports whether there is further result sets, or false if there is no further result set or if there is an error advancing to it. The Err method should be consulted to distinguish between the two cases.

After calling NextResultSet, the Next method should always be called before scanning. If there are further result sets they may not have rows in the result set.

func Rows.Scan

func (rs *Rows) Scan(dest ...interface{}) error

Scan copies the columns in the current row into the values pointed at by dest. The number of values in dest must be the same as the number of columns in Rows.

Scan converts columns read from the database into the following common Go types and special types provided by the sql package:

*string
*[]byte
*int, *int8, *int16, *int32, *int64
*uint, *uint8, *uint16, *uint32, *uint64
*bool
*float32, *float64
*interface{}
*RawBytes
*Rows (cursor value)
any type implementing Scanner (see Scanner docs)

In the most simple case, if the type of the value from the source column is an integer, bool or string type T and dest is of type *T, Scan simply assigns the value through the pointer.

Scan also converts between string and numeric types, as long as no information would be lost. While Scan stringifies all numbers scanned from numeric database columns into *string, scans into numeric types are checked for overflow. For example, a float64 with value 300 or a string with value "300" can scan into a uint16, but not into a uint8, though float64(255) or "255" can scan into a uint8. One exception is that scans of some float64 numbers to strings may lose information when stringifying. In general, scan floating point columns into *float64.

If a dest argument has type *[]byte, Scan saves in that argument a copy of the corresponding data. The copy is owned by the caller and can be modified and held indefinitely. The copy can be avoided by using an argument of type *RawBytes instead; see the documentation for RawBytes for restrictions on its use.

If an argument has type *interface{}, Scan copies the value provided by the underlying driver without conversion. When scanning from a source value of type []byte to *interface{}, a copy of the slice is made and the caller owns the result.

Source values of type time.Time may be scanned into values of type *time.Time, *interface{}, *string, or *[]byte. When converting to the latter two, time.RFC3339Nano is used.

Source values of type bool may be scanned into types *bool, *interface{}, *string, *[]byte, or *RawBytes.

For scanning into *bool, the source may be true, false, 1, 0, or string inputs parseable by strconv.ParseBool.

Scan can also convert a cursor returned from a query, such as "select cursor(select * from my_table) from dual", into a *Rows value that can itself be scanned from. The parent select query will close any cursor *Rows if the parent *Rows is closed.

type Scanner

type Scanner interface {
    // Scan assigns a value from a database driver.
    //
    // The src value will be of one of the following types:
    //
    //    int64
    //    float64
    //    bool
    //    []byte
    //    string
    //    time.Time
    //    nil - for NULL values
    //
    // An error should be returned if the value cannot be stored
    // without loss of information.
    //
    // Reference types such as []byte are only valid until the next call to Scan
    // and should not be retained. Their underlying memory is owned by the driver.
    // If retention is necessary, copy their values before the next call to Scan.
    Scan(src interface{}) error
}

Scanner is an interface used by Scan.

type Stmt

type Stmt struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Stmt is a prepared statement. A Stmt is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.

If a Stmt is prepared on a Tx or Conn, it will be bound to a single underlying connection forever. If the Tx or Conn closes, the Stmt will become unusable and all operations will return an error. If a Stmt is prepared on a DB, it will remain usable for the lifetime of the DB. When the Stmt needs to execute on a new underlying connection, it will prepare itself on the new connection automatically.

Code:

// In normal use, create one Stmt when your process starts.
stmt, err := db.PrepareContext(ctx, "SELECT username FROM users WHERE id = ?")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer stmt.Close()

// Then reuse it each time you need to issue the query.
id := 43
var username string
err = stmt.QueryRowContext(ctx, id).Scan(&username)
switch {
case err == sql.ErrNoRows:
    log.Fatalf("no user with id %d", id)
case err != nil:
    log.Fatal(err)

func Stmt.QueryContext

func (s *Stmt) QueryContext(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{}) (*Rows, error)

QueryContext executes a prepared query statement with the given arguments and returns the query results as a *Rows.

func Stmt.QueryRow

func (s *Stmt) QueryRow(args ...interface{}) *Row

QueryRow executes a prepared query statement with the given arguments. If an error occurs during the execution of the statement, that error will be returned by a call to Scan on the returned *Row, which is always non-nil. If the query selects no rows, the *Row's Scan will return ErrNoRows. Otherwise, the *Row's Scan scans the first selected row and discards the rest.

Example usage:

var name string
err := nameByUseridStmt.QueryRow(id).Scan(&name)

func Stmt.QueryRowContext

func (s *Stmt) QueryRowContext(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{}) *Row

QueryRowContext executes a prepared query statement with the given arguments. If an error occurs during the execution of the statement, that error will be returned by a call to Scan on the returned *Row, which is always non-nil. If the query selects no rows, the *Row's Scan will return ErrNoRows. Otherwise, the *Row's Scan scans the first selected row and discards the rest.

Code:

// In normal use, create one Stmt when your process starts.
stmt, err := db.PrepareContext(ctx, "SELECT username FROM users WHERE id = ?")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer stmt.Close()

// Then reuse it each time you need to issue the query.
id := 43
var username string
err = stmt.QueryRowContext(ctx, id).Scan(&username)
switch {
case err == sql.ErrNoRows:
    log.Fatalf("no user with id %d", id)
case err != nil:
    log.Fatal(err)
default:
    log.Printf("username is %s\n", username)
}

type Tx

type Tx struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Tx is an in-progress database transaction.

A transaction must end with a call to Commit or Rollback.

After a call to Commit or Rollback, all operations on the transaction fail with ErrTxDone.

if err := tx.Commit(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

func Tx.Prepare

func (tx *Tx) Prepare(query string) (*Stmt, error)

To use an existing prepared statement on this transaction, see Tx.Stmt.

Code:

projects := []struct {
    mascot  string
    release int
}{
    {"tux", 1991},
    {"duke", 1996},
    {"gopher", 2009},
    {"moby dock", 2013},
}

tx, err := db.Begin()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

stmt, err := tx.Prepare("INSERT INTO projects(id, mascot, release, category) VALUES( ?, ?, ?, ? )")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer stmt.Close() // Prepared statements take up server resources and should be closed after use.

QueryContext executes a query that returns rows, typically a SELECT.

func Tx.QueryRow

func (tx *Tx) QueryRow(query string, args ...interface{}) *Row

QueryRow executes a query that is expected to return at most one row. QueryRow always returns a non-nil value. Errors are deferred until Row's Scan method is called. If the query selects no rows, the *Row's Scan will return ErrNoRows. Otherwise, the *Row's Scan scans the first selected row and discards the rest.

func Tx.QueryRowContext

func (tx *Tx) QueryRowContext(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) *Row

QueryRowContext executes a query that is expected to return at most one row. QueryRowContext always returns a non-nil value. Errors are deferred until Row's Scan method is called.

func Tx.Stmt

func (tx *Tx) Stmt(stmt *Stmt) *Stmt

Stmt returns a transaction-specific prepared statement from an existing statement.

Example:

updateMoney, err := db.Prepare("UPDATE balance SET money=money+? WHERE id=?")
...
tx, err := db.Begin()
...
res, err := tx.Stmt(updateMoney).Exec(123.45, 98293203)

The returned statement operates within the transaction and will be closed when the transaction has been committed or rolled back.

func Tx.StmtContext

func (tx *Tx) StmtContext(ctx context.Context, stmt *Stmt) *Stmt

StmtContext returns a transaction-specific prepared statement from an existing statement.

Example:

updateMoney, err := db.Prepare("UPDATE balance SET money=money+? WHERE id=?")
...
tx, err := db.Begin()
...
res, err := tx.StmtContext(ctx, updateMoney).Exec(123.45, 98293203)

The provided context is used for the preparation of the statement, not for the execution of the statement.

The returned statement operates within the transaction and will be closed when the transaction has been committed or rolled back.

type TxOptions

type TxOptions struct {
    // Isolation is the transaction isolation level.
    // If zero, the driver or database's default level is used.
    Isolation IsolationLevel
    ReadOnly  bool
}

TxOptions holds the transaction options to be used in DB.BeginTx.
