Using Sqlite in Go Programming.

alt text

SQLite is an open source code that is a relational sql search engine. The most important advantage of a host is that the server does not need a local server.

In this example I'll make a simple example running on sqlite with go.

Used Libraries

import (
  "database/sql"
  "fmt"
  "strconv"
  _ "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Model Structure

type User struct {
  id         int
  username   string
  surname    string
  age        int
  university string
  //I created a struct with a struct to select the rows in the table and add data.
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode


I am using a user model consisting of "id", "username", "surname", "age" and "university".

CRUD Methods

I have done CRUD operations using Sqlite database with Go programming language.

func addUser(db *sql.DB, username string, surname string, age int, university string) {
  tx, _ := db.Begin()
  stmt, _ := tx.Prepare("insert into testTable (username,surname,age,university) values (?,?,?,?)")
  _, err := stmt.Exec(username, surname, age, university)
  checkError(err)
  tx.Commit()
}
func getUsers(db *sql.DB, id2 int) User {
  rows, err := db.Query("select * from testTable")
  checkError(err)
  for rows.Next() {
    var tempUser User
    err =
      rows.Scan(&tempUser.id, &tempUser.username, &tempUser.surname, &tempUser.age, &tempUser.university)
    checkError(err)
    if tempUser.id == id2 {
      return tempUser
    }
  }
  return User{}
}
func updateUser(db *sql.DB, id2 int, username string, surname string, age int, university string) {
  sage := strconv.Itoa(age) // int to string
  sid := strconv.Itoa(id2)  // int to string
  tx, _ := db.Begin()
  stmt, _ := tx.Prepare("update testTable set username=?,surname=?,age=?,university=? where id=?")
  _, err := stmt.Exec(username, surname, sage, university, sid)
  checkError(err)
  tx.Commit()
}
func deleteUser(db *sql.DB, id2 int) {
  sid := strconv.Itoa(id2) // int to string
  tx, _ := db.Begin()
  stmt, _ := tx.Prepare("delete from testTable where id=?")
  _, err := stmt.Exec(sid)
  checkError(err)
  tx.Commit()
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Main Function

db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", "database/godb.db")
  db.Exec("create table if not exists testTable (id integer,username text, surname text,age Integer,university text)")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode


I'm writing code that allows you to connect to the database and run. Then I use the methods that let me perform the CRUD operations above.

func main() {
  db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", "database/godb.db")
  db.Exec("create table if not exists testTable (id integer,username text, surname text,age Integer,university text)")
  addUser(db, "fevzi omur ", "tekin", 24, "Sakarya University") // added data to database
  updateUser(db, 2, "Ken", "Thompson", 75, "California university") //update data to database
  deleteUser(db, 1) // delete data to database
  fmt.Println(getUsers(db, 2)) // printing the user
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
