#5.3 SQLite SQLite is a open source, embedded relational database, it has a self-contained, zero-configuration and affair-supported database engine. Its characteristics are highly portable, easy to use, compact, efficient and reliable. In most of cases, you only need a binary file of SQLite to create, connect and operate database. If you are looking for a embedded database solution, SQLite is worth to consider. You can say SQLite is the open source version of Access.
##SQLite drivers
There are many database drivers for SQLite in Go, but many of them are not supporting database/sql
interface standards.
- https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 supports
database/sql
, based on cgo. - https://github.com/feyeleanor/gosqlite3 doesn't support
database/sql
, based on cgo. - https://github.com/phf/go-sqlite3 doesn't support
database/sql
, based on cgo.
The first driver is the only one that supports database/sql
interface standards in SQLite drivers, so I use this in my projects and it will be easy to migrate code in the future.
##Samples The create SQL as follows:
CREATE TABLE `userinfo` (
`uid` INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
`username` VARCHAR(64) NULL,
`departname` VARCHAR(64) NULL,
`created` DATE NULL
);
An example:
package main
import (
"database/sql"
"fmt"
_ "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", "./foo.db")
checkErr(err)
// insert
stmt, err := db.Prepare("INSERT INTO userinfo(username, departname, created) values(?,?,?)")
checkErr(err)
res, err := stmt.Exec("astaxie", "研发部门", "2012-12-09")
checkErr(err)
id, err := res.LastInsertId()
checkErr(err)
fmt.Println(id)
// update
stmt, err = db.Prepare("update userinfo set username=? where uid=?")
checkErr(err)
res, err = stmt.Exec("astaxieupdate", id)
checkErr(err)
affect, err := res.RowsAffected()
checkErr(err)
fmt.Println(affect)
// query
rows, err := db.Query("SELECT * FROM userinfo")
checkErr(err)
for rows.Next() {
var uid int
var username string
var department string
var created string
err = rows.Scan(&uid, &username, &department, &created)
checkErr(err)
fmt.Println(uid)
fmt.Println(username)
fmt.Println(department)
fmt.Println(created)
}
// delete
stmt, err = db.Prepare("delete from userinfo where uid=?")
checkErr(err)
res, err = stmt.Exec(id)
checkErr(err)
affect, err = res.RowsAffected()
checkErr(err)
fmt.Println(affect)
db.Close()
}
func checkErr(err error) {
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
You may notice that the code is almost same as previous section, and we only changed registered driver name, and call sql.Open
to connect to SQLite in a different way.
There is a SQLite management tool available: http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/
