Usage

See also examples_test.go.

Given a DB URL, connect to the DB

This is useful since sql.Open() requires you to pass the driver in addition to the URL, even though the driver is embedded in the URL.

import (
    "os"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/recursionpharma/go-dbutil"
)

func main() {
    db, err := dbutil.Connect("postgres://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DBNAME")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    fmt.Println(db != nil)
    // Output: true
}

Extract the driver from a DB URL

import (
    "os"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/recursionpharma/go-dbutil"
)

func main() {
    driver, err := GetDriver("postgres://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DBNAME")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    fmt.Println(driver)
    // Output: postgres
}
