sqle

The sqle package is an extension of the standard database/sql package.

Features

fully implements the database/sql interface;
it is fast, sometimes very fast (has a minimum overhead);
Scan method can take composite types as arguments, such as pointers to structures (including nested ones), maps and slices;
Columns and ColumnTypes methods cache the returned result.

Prerequisites

This package requires Go 1.8 or later.

Installation

go get -u github.com/lazada/sqle

Usage

There are two ways of using this package:

by replacing standard database/sql package with this package in your imports;
by wrapping specific standard database/sql objects using the Wrap function.

Examples

Additional examples of usage are available in rows_test.go, row_test.go and wrap_test.go.

Working with structures

As it was:

import "database/sql"

type User struct {
    Id      int32
    Name    string
    Email   string
    Created time.Time
    Updated time.Time
}

db, err := sql.Open(`sqlite3`, `testdata/testdata.db`)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalln(err)
}
user := new(User)

err = db.QueryRowContext(ctx, `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?`, userId).
    Scan(&user.Id, &user.Name, &user.Email, &user.Created, &user.Updated)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalln(err)
}

It is now:

import sql "github.com/lazada/sqle"

type User struct {
	Id      int32     `sql:"id"`
	Name    string    `sql:"name"`
	Email   string    `sql:"email"`
	Created time.Time `sql:"created"`
	Updated time.Time `sql:"updated"`
}

db, err := sql.Open(`sqlite3`, `testdata/testdata.db`)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalln(err)
}
user := new(User)

err = db.QueryRowContext(ctx, `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?`, userId).Scan(user)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalln(err)
}

Working with maps

As it was (simplified example):

import "database/sql"

db, err := sql.Open(`sqlite3`, `testdata/testdata.db`)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalln(err)
}
var (
    userId                   int32
    userName, userEmail      string
    userCreated, userUpdated time.Time
)
err = db.QueryRowContext(ctx, `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?`, userId).
    Scan(&userId, &userName, &userEmail, &userCreated, &userUpdated)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalln(err)
}
user := map[string]interface{}{
    `id`:      userId,
    `name`:    userName,
    `email`:   userEmail,
    `created`: userCreated,
    `updated`: userUpdated,
}
