go_n1ql

N1QL Driver for Go's database/sql package

This library implements the standard go database APIs for database/sql and database/sql/driver.

Installation

go get github.com/couchbase/go_n1ql
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/couchbase/go_n1ql
go get ...

Test

The test code assumes an instance of Couchbase is running on the local machine, and the beer-sample sample bucket is loaded.

From the /go_n1ql directory, run:

go test .

Example Application

See ./example/example.go

Start

cbq_engine ./cbq_engine -datastore=dir:../../test/json
./example

Imports

To use the go_n1ql driver the following two imports are required

import (
    "database/sql"
    _ "github.com/couchbase/go_n1ql"
)

Connecting to N1QL

The go_n1ql driver allows you to connect to either a standalone instance of N1QL or a couchbase cluster endpoint.

Connect to a standalone N1QL instance

n1ql, err := sql.Open("n1ql", "localhost:8093")

Connect to a couchbase cluster

n1ql, err := sql.Open("n1ql", "http://localhost:9000/")

The driver will discover the N1QL endpoints in the cluster and connect to one of them.

Query Options

Various Query options can be set by calling SetQueryParams. See example below

import  go_n1ql "github.com/couchbase/go_n1ql"

ac := []byte(`[{"user": "admin:Administrator", "pass": "asdasd"}]`)
go_n1ql.SetQueryParams("creds", ac)
go_n1ql.SetQueryParams("timeout", "10s")

Running Select Queries

Running queries without positional parameters

rows, err := n1ql.Query("select * from contacts where contacts.name = \"dave\"")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer rows.Close()
for rows.Next() {
    var contacts string
    if err := rows.Scan(&contacts); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    log.Printf("Row returned %s : \n", contacts)
}

Note that since Couchbase is a document oriented database there are no columns. Each document in the database is treated as a row. For queries of the form SELECT * FROM bucket the results will be returned in a single column. Queries where the result expression is not * will return the results in multiple columns.

Example query returning multiple columns

rows, err := n1ql.Query("select personal_details, shipped_order_history from users_with_orders where doc_type=\"user_profile\" and personal_details.age = 60")

if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

defer rows.Close()
for rows.Next() {
    var personal, shipped string
    if err := rows.Scan(&personal, &shipped); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    log.Printf("Row returned personal_details: %s shipped_order_history %s : \n", personal, shipped)
}

Running queries with positional parameters

Positional parameters are supported by the Queryer/Execer interface and by the Statement (prepared statement) interface

Example of a Prepared statement with positional parameters

stmt, err := n1ql.Prepare("select personal_details, shipped_order_history from users_with_orders where doc_type=? and personal_details.age = ?")

rows, err = stmt.Query("user_profile", 60)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer rows.Close()
for rows.Next() {
    var personal, shipped string
    if err := rows.Scan(&personal, &shipped); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    log.Printf("Row returned personal_details: %s shipped_order_history %s : \n", personal, shipped)
}

Running DML Queries

DML queries are supported via the Execer and Statment interface. These statements are not expected to return any rows, instead the number of rows mutated/modified will be returned

Example usage of the Execer interface

result, err := n1ql.Exec("Upsert INTO contacts values (\"irish\",{\"name\":\"irish\", \"type\":\"contact\"})")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

rowsAffected, err := result.RowsAffected()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Printf("Rows affected %d", rowsAffected)

Example usage of Prepared Statements with Exec

stmt, err = n1ql.Prepare("Upsert INTO contacts values (?,?)")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Map Values need to be marshaled
value, _ := json.Marshal(map[string]interface{}{"name": "irish", "type": "contact"})
result, err = stmt.Exec("irish4", value)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

rowsAffected, err = result.RowsAffected()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Printf("Rows affected %d", rowsAffected)

Note

Any positional values that contain either arrays or maps or any combination thereof need to be marshalled and passed as type []byte
