To create and execute prepared statements in Go with SQL databases, you can follow the steps given below:
Import the required packages:
import (
"database/sql"
_ "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql" // Import the Go MySQL driver package
)
Establish a database connection:
db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "user:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/database")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer db.Close()
Prepare the SQL statement:
stmt, err := db.Prepare("INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, ...) VALUES (?, ?, ...)")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer stmt.Close()
Execute the prepared statement with parameters:
res, err := stmt.Exec(value1, value2, ...) // Pass the parameter values
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
Retrieve the result:
rowsAffected, err := res.RowsAffected()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
That's it! You have now created and executed a prepared statement in Go with SQL databases. Remember to handle error cases appropriately. The same approach can be used for executing SELECT statements or any other SQL queries.
