pq - A pure Go postgres driver for Go's database/sql package

Build Status

Install

go get github.com/lib/pq

Docs

For detailed documentation and basic usage examples, please see the package documentation at http://godoc.org/github.com/lib/pq.

Tests

go test is used for testing. A running PostgreSQL server is required, with the ability to log in. The default database to connect to test with is "pqgotest," but it can be overridden using environment variables.

Example:

PGHOST=/var/run/postgresql go test github.com/lib/pq

Optionally, a benchmark suite can be run as part of the tests:

PGHOST=/var/run/postgresql go test -bench .

Features

  • SSL
  • Handles bad connections for database/sql
  • Scan time.Time correctly (i.e. timestamp[tz], time[tz], date)
  • Scan binary blobs correctly (i.e. bytea)
  • Package for hstore support
  • COPY FROM support
  • pq.ParseURL for converting urls to connection strings for sql.Open.
  • Many libpq compatible environment variables
  • Unix socket support
  • Notifications: LISTEN/NOTIFY

Future / Things you can help with

  • Better COPY FROM / COPY TO (see discussion in #181)
