How to work with date and time data in SQL queries with Go?

To work with date and time data in SQL queries with Go, you can use the time package in conjunction with the SQL query execution. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Import the required packages:
import ( "database/sql" _ "github.com/<database-driver-package>" "time" )

Replace <database-driver-package> with the appropriate driver package for your database (such as github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql for MySQL).

  1. Open a database connection:
db, err := sql.Open("<driver-name>", "<connection-string>") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer db.Close()

Replace <driver-name> with the name of your database driver and <connection-string> with the appropriate connection string for your database.

  1. Execute SQL queries:
rows, err := db.Query("SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE date_column >= ?", yourTime) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer rows.Close() for rows.Next() { // Process the retrieved data }

Replace your_table with the name of your table and date_column with the name of the column containing the date or time data.

  1. Parse date and time strings into time.Time:
yourTime, err := time.Parse("2006-01-02", "2022-01-01") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }

Replace "2006-01-02" with the appropriate format for your date or time string.

  1. Use placeholder values for date and time in SQL queries:
query := "INSERT INTO your_table (date_column) VALUES (?)" _, err := db.Exec(query, yourTime) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }

Remember to properly handle any errors that occur during the process.
