Project Goal

The goal of this project is to implement the MySQL wire protocol in Go, mostly for my own amusement but it might become usable as a client library for other Go projects.

The wire protocol is documented here

Status

• Most queries work
• Server side prepared statements work. (With common types)
• See example/simple.go for simple example
• See example/prepared.go for example using server side prepared statements

Install

$ go get github.com/thoj/go-mysqlpure

Use

Three first 2 parameters are passed to Dial. Unix socket: net = unix, raddr = path to mysql.sock

dbh, error = mysql.Connect(net, raddr, username, password, database)

Select database

res, err = dbh.Use(database)

Run simple Query. AffectedRows and InsertId is in res

res, err = dbh.Query(sql)

Prepare server side statement

sth, err = dbh.Prepare(<SQL with ? placeholders>)

Execute prepared statement (Only supports string, int, float parameters):

res, err = sth.Execute(parameters ...)

Fetch row from query with result set

row, err = res.FetchRow()

Fetch one row as map[string]string

rowmap = res.FetchRowMap()

Fetch all rows as []map[string]string

rowsmap = res.FetchAllRowMap()

FAQ

• Q: I'm getting question marks instead of my Unicode characters
• A: Run dbh.Query("SET NAMES utf8") before the select query
