Spanner Go Sql Examples

This directory contains samples for how to use the Spanner go-sql driver. Each sample can be executed as a standalone application without the need for any prior setup, other than that Docker must be installed on your system. Each sample will automatically:

1. Download and start the Spanner Emulator in a Docker container.
2. Create a sample database and execute the sample on the sample database.
3. Shutdown the Docker container that is running the emulator.

Running a sample is done by navigating to the corresponding sample directory and executing the following command:

# Change the 'helloword' directory below to any of the samples in this directory.
cd helloworld
go run main.go

Prerequisites

Your system must have Docker installed for these samples to be executed, as each sample will automatically start the Spanner Emulator in a Docker container.
