Overview ▾

Package pgx is a PostgreSQL database driver.

pgx provides a native PostgreSQL driver and can act as a database/sql driver. The native PostgreSQL interface is similar to the database/sql interface while providing better speed and access to PostgreSQL specific features. Use github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/stdlib to use pgx as a database/sql compatible driver. See that package's documentation for details.

Establishing a Connection

The primary way of establishing a connection is with pgx.Connect:

conn, err := pgx.Connect(context.Background(), os.Getenv("DATABASE_URL"))

The database connection string can be in URL or DSN format. Both PostgreSQL settings and pgx settings can be specified here. In addition, a config struct can be created by ParseConfig and modified before establishing the connection with ConnectConfig to configure settings such as tracing that cannot be configured with a connection string.

Connection Pool

*pgx.Conn represents a single connection to the database and is not concurrency safe. Use package github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool for a concurrency safe connection pool.

Query Interface

pgx implements Query in the familiar database/sql style. However, pgx provides generic functions such as CollectRows and ForEachRow that are a simpler and safer way of processing rows than manually calling rows.Next(), rows.Scan, and rows.Err().

CollectRows can be used collect all returned rows into a slice.

rows, _ := conn.Query(context.Background(), "select generate_series(1,$1)", 5)
numbers, err := pgx.CollectRows(rows, pgx.RowTo[int32])
if err != nil {
  return err
}
// numbers => [1 2 3 4 5]

ForEachRow can be used to execute a callback function for every row. This is often easier than iterating over rows directly.

var sum, n int32
rows, _ := conn.Query(context.Background(), "select generate_series(1,$1)", 10)
_, err := pgx.ForEachRow(rows, []any{&n}, func() error {
  sum += n
  return nil
})
if err != nil {
  return err
}

pgx also implements QueryRow in the same style as database/sql.

var name string
var weight int64
err := conn.QueryRow(context.Background(), "select name, weight from widgets where id=$1", 42).Scan(&name, &weight)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Use Exec to execute a query that does not return a result set.

commandTag, err := conn.Exec(context.Background(), "delete from widgets where id=$1", 42)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
if commandTag.RowsAffected() != 1 {
    return errors.New("No row found to delete")
}

PostgreSQL Data Types

pgx uses the pgtype package to converting Go values to and from PostgreSQL values. It supports many PostgreSQL types directly and is customizable and extendable. User defined data types such as enums, domains, and composite types may require type registration. See that package's documentation for details.

Transactions

Transactions are started by calling Begin.

tx, err := conn.Begin(context.Background())
if err != nil {
    return err
}
// Rollback is safe to call even if the tx is already closed, so if
// the tx commits successfully, this is a no-op
defer tx.Rollback(context.Background())

_, err = tx.Exec(context.Background(), "insert into foo(id) values (1)")
if err != nil {
    return err
}

err = tx.Commit(context.Background())
if err != nil {
    return err
}

The Tx returned from Begin also implements the Begin method. This can be used to implement pseudo nested transactions. These are internally implemented with savepoints.

Use BeginTx to control the transaction mode. BeginTx also can be used to ensure a new transaction is created instead of a pseudo nested transaction.

BeginFunc and BeginTxFunc are functions that begin a transaction, execute a function, and commit or rollback the transaction depending on the return value of the function. These can be simpler and less error prone to use.

err = pgx.BeginFunc(context.Background(), conn, func(tx pgx.Tx) error {
    _, err := tx.Exec(context.Background(), "insert into foo(id) values (1)")
    return err
})
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Prepared Statements

Prepared statements can be manually created with the Prepare method. However, this is rarely necessary because pgx includes an automatic statement cache by default. Queries run through the normal Query, QueryRow, and Exec functions are automatically prepared on first execution and the prepared statement is reused on subsequent executions. See ParseConfig for information on how to customize or disable the statement cache.

Copy Protocol

Use CopyFrom to efficiently insert multiple rows at a time using the PostgreSQL copy protocol. CopyFrom accepts a CopyFromSource interface. If the data is already in a [][]any use CopyFromRows to wrap it in a CopyFromSource interface. Or implement CopyFromSource to avoid buffering the entire data set in memory.

rows := [][]any{
    {"John", "Smith", int32(36)},
    {"Jane", "Doe", int32(29)},
}

copyCount, err := conn.CopyFrom(
    context.Background(),
    pgx.Identifier{"people"},
    []string{"first_name", "last_name", "age"},
    pgx.CopyFromRows(rows),
)

When you already have a typed array using CopyFromSlice can be more convenient.

rows := []User{
    {"John", "Smith", 36},
    {"Jane", "Doe", 29},
}

copyCount, err := conn.CopyFrom(
    context.Background(),
    pgx.Identifier{"people"},
    []string{"first_name", "last_name", "age"},
    pgx.CopyFromSlice(len(rows), func(i int) ([]any, error) {
        return []any{rows[i].FirstName, rows[i].LastName, rows[i].Age}, nil
    }),
)

CopyFrom can be faster than an insert with as few as 5 rows.

Listen and Notify

pgx can listen to the PostgreSQL notification system with the `Conn.WaitForNotification` method. It blocks until a notification is received or the context is canceled.

_, err := conn.Exec(context.Background(), "listen channelname")
if err != nil {
    return err
}

notification, err := conn.WaitForNotification(context.Background())
if err != nil {
    return err
}
// do something with notification

Tracing and Logging

pgx supports tracing by setting ConnConfig.Tracer.

In addition, the tracelog package provides the TraceLog type which lets a traditional logger act as a Tracer.

For debug tracing of the actual PostgreSQL wire protocol messages see github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgproto3.

Lower Level PostgreSQL Functionality

github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgconn contains a lower level PostgreSQL driver roughly at the level of libpq. pgx.Conn in implemented on top of pgconn. The Conn.PgConn() method can be used to access this lower layer.

PgBouncer

By default pgx automatically uses prepared statements. Prepared statements are incompatible with PgBouncer. This can be disabled by setting a different QueryExecMode in ConnConfig.DefaultQueryExecMode.

Constants

PostgreSQL format codes

const (
    TextFormatCode   = 0
    BinaryFormatCode = 1
)

Variables

var (
    // ErrNoRows occurs when rows are expected but none are returned.
    ErrNoRows = errors.New("no rows in result set")
    // ErrTooManyRows occurs when more rows than expected are returned.
    ErrTooManyRows = errors.New("too many rows in result set")
)
var ErrTxClosed = errors.New("tx is closed")

ErrTxCommitRollback occurs when an error has occurred in a transaction and Commit() is called. PostgreSQL accepts COMMIT on aborted transactions, but it is treated as ROLLBACK.

var ErrTxCommitRollback = errors.New("commit unexpectedly resulted in rollback")

func AppendRows

func AppendRows[T any, S ~[]T](slice S, rows Rows, fn RowToFunc[T]) (S, error)

AppendRows iterates through rows, calling fn for each row, and appending the results into a slice of T.

func BeginFunc

func BeginFunc(
    ctx context.Context,
    db interface {
        Begin(ctx context.Context) (Tx, error)
    },
    fn func(Tx) error,
) (err error)

BeginFunc calls Begin on db and then calls fn. If fn does not return an error then it calls Commit on db. If fn returns an error it calls Rollback on db. The context will be used when executing the transaction control statements (BEGIN, ROLLBACK, and COMMIT) but does not otherwise affect the execution of fn.

func BeginTxFunc

func BeginTxFunc(
    ctx context.Context,
    db interface {
        BeginTx(ctx context.Context, txOptions TxOptions) (Tx, error)
    },
    txOptions TxOptions,
    fn func(Tx) error,
) (err error)

BeginTxFunc calls BeginTx on db and then calls fn. If fn does not return an error then it calls Commit on db. If fn returns an error it calls Rollback on db. The context will be used when executing the transaction control statements (BEGIN, ROLLBACK, and COMMIT) but does not otherwise affect the execution of fn.

func CollectExactlyOneRow

func CollectExactlyOneRow[T any](rows Rows, fn RowToFunc[T]) (T, error)

CollectExactlyOneRow calls fn for the first row in rows and returns the result.

func CollectOneRow

func CollectOneRow[T any](rows Rows, fn RowToFunc[T]) (T, error)

CollectOneRow calls fn for the first row in rows and returns the result. If no rows are found returns an error where errors.Is(ErrNoRows) is true. CollectOneRow is to CollectRows as QueryRow is to Query.

func CollectRows

func CollectRows[T any](rows Rows, fn RowToFunc[T]) ([]T, error)

CollectRows iterates through rows, calling fn for each row, and collecting the results into a slice of T.

Example

This example uses CollectRows with a manually written collector function. In most cases RowTo, RowToAddrOf, RowToStructByPos, RowToAddrOfStructByPos, or another generic function would be used.

Code:

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 120*time.Second)
defer cancel()

conn, err := pgx.Connect(ctx, os.Getenv("PGX_TEST_DATABASE"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Unable to establish connection: %v", err)
    return
}

rows, _ := conn.Query(ctx, `select n from generate_series(1, 5) n`)
numbers, err := pgx.CollectRows(rows, func(row pgx.CollectableRow) (int32, error) {
    var n int32
    err := row.Scan(&n)
    return n, err
})
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("CollectRows error: %v", err)
    return
}

fmt.Println(numbers)

Output:

[1 2 3 4 5]

func ForEachRow

func ForEachRow(rows Rows, scans []any, fn func() error) (pgconn.CommandTag, error)

ForEachRow iterates through rows. For each row it scans into the elements of scans and calls fn. If any row fails to scan or fn returns an error the query will be aborted and the error will be returned. Rows will be closed when ForEachRow returns.

Example

Code:

conn, err := pgx.Connect(context.Background(), os.Getenv("PGX_TEST_DATABASE"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Unable to establish connection: %v", err)
    return
}

rows, _ := conn.Query(
    context.Background(),
    "select n, n * 2 from generate_series(1, $1) n",
    3,
)
var a, b int
_, err = pgx.ForEachRow(rows, []any{&a, &b}, func() error {
    fmt.Printf("%v, %v\n", a, b)
    return nil
})
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("ForEachRow error: %v", err)
    return
}

Output:

1, 2
2, 4
3, 6

func RowTo

func RowTo[T any](row CollectableRow) (T, error)

RowTo returns a T scanned from row.

Example

Code:

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 120*time.Second)
defer cancel()

conn, err := pgx.Connect(ctx, os.Getenv("PGX_TEST_DATABASE"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Unable to establish connection: %v", err)
    return
}

rows, _ := conn.Query(ctx, `select n from generate_series(1, 5) n`)
numbers, err := pgx.CollectRows(rows, pgx.RowTo[int32])
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("CollectRows error: %v", err)
    return
}

fmt.Println(numbers)

Output:

[1 2 3 4 5]

func RowToAddrOf

func RowToAddrOf[T any](row CollectableRow) (*T, error)

RowTo returns a the address of a T scanned from row.

Example

Code:

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 120*time.Second)
defer cancel()

conn, err := pgx.Connect(ctx, os.Getenv("PGX_TEST_DATABASE"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Unable to establish connection: %v", err)
    return
}

rows, _ := conn.Query(ctx, `select n from generate_series(1, 5) n`)
pNumbers, err := pgx.CollectRows(rows, pgx.RowToAddrOf[int32])
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("CollectRows error: %v", err)
    return
}

for _, p := range pNumbers {
    fmt.Println(*p)
}

Output:

1
2
3
4
5

func RowToAddrOfStructByName

func RowToAddrOfStructByName[T any](row CollectableRow) (*T, error)

RowToAddrOfStructByName returns the address of a T scanned from row. T must be a struct. T must have the same number of named public fields as row has fields. The row and T fields will be matched by name. The match is case-insensitive. The database column name can be overridden with a "db" struct tag. If the "db" struct tag is "-" then the field will be ignored.

func RowToAddrOfStructByNameLax

func RowToAddrOfStructByNameLax[T any](row CollectableRow) (*T, error)

RowToAddrOfStructByNameLax returns the address of a T scanned from row. T must be a struct. T must have greater than or equal number of named public fields as row has fields. The row and T fields will be matched by name. The match is case-insensitive. The database column name can be overridden with a "db" struct tag. If the "db" struct tag is "-" then the field will be ignored.

func RowToAddrOfStructByPos

func RowToAddrOfStructByPos[T any](row CollectableRow) (*T, error)

RowToAddrOfStructByPos returns the address of a T scanned from row. T must be a struct. T must have the same number a public fields as row has fields. The row and T fields will be matched by position. If the "db" struct tag is "-" then the field will be ignored.

Batch queries are a way of bundling multiple queries together to avoid unnecessary network round trips. A Batch must only be sent once.

type Batch struct {
    QueuedQueries []*QueuedQuery
}

func (*Batch) Len

func (b *Batch) Len() int

Len returns number of queries that have been queued so far.

func (*Batch) Queue

func (b *Batch) Queue(query string, arguments ...any) *QueuedQuery

Queue queues a query to batch b. query can be an SQL query or the name of a prepared statement. The only pgx option argument that is supported is QueryRewriter. Queries are executed using the connection's DefaultQueryExecMode.

type BatchResults

type BatchResults interface {
    // Exec reads the results from the next query in the batch as if the query has been sent with Conn.Exec. Prefer
    // calling Exec on the QueuedQuery.
    Exec() (pgconn.CommandTag, error)

    // Query reads the results from the next query in the batch as if the query has been sent with Conn.Query. Prefer
    // calling Query on the QueuedQuery.
    Query() (Rows, error)

    // QueryRow reads the results from the next query in the batch as if the query has been sent with Conn.QueryRow.
    // Prefer calling QueryRow on the QueuedQuery.
    QueryRow() Row

    // Close closes the batch operation. All unread results are read and any callback functions registered with
    // QueuedQuery.Query, QueuedQuery.QueryRow, or QueuedQuery.Exec will be called. If a callback function returns an
    // error or the batch encounters an error subsequent callback functions will not be called.
    //
    // Close must be called before the underlying connection can be used again. Any error that occurred during a batch
    // operation may have made it impossible to resyncronize the connection with the server. In this case the underlying
    // connection will have been closed.
    //
    // Close is safe to call multiple times. If it returns an error subsequent calls will return the same error. Callback
    // functions will not be rerun.
    Close() error
}

type BatchTracer

BatchTracer traces SendBatch.

type BatchTracer interface {
    // TraceBatchStart is called at the beginning of SendBatch calls. The returned context is used for the
    // rest of the call and will be passed to TraceBatchQuery and TraceBatchEnd.
    TraceBatchStart(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchStartData) context.Context

    TraceBatchQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchQueryData)
    TraceBatchEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceBatchEndData)
}

type CollectableRow

CollectableRow is the subset of Rows methods that a RowToFunc is allowed to call.

type CollectableRow interface {
    FieldDescriptions() []pgconn.FieldDescription
    Scan(dest ...any) error
    Values() ([]any, error)
    RawValues() [][]byte
}

type Conn

Conn is a PostgreSQL connection handle. It is not safe for concurrent usage. Use a connection pool to manage access to multiple database connections from multiple goroutines.

type Conn struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func Connect

func Connect(ctx context.Context, connString string) (*Conn, error)

Connect establishes a connection with a PostgreSQL server with a connection string. See pgconn.Connect for details.

func ConnectConfig

func ConnectConfig(ctx context.Context, connConfig *ConnConfig) (*Conn, error)

ConnectConfig establishes a connection with a PostgreSQL server with a configuration struct. connConfig must have been created by ParseConfig.

func ConnectWithOptions

func ConnectWithOptions(ctx context.Context, connString string, options ParseConfigOptions) (*Conn, error)

ConnectWithOptions behaves exactly like Connect with the addition of options. At the present options is only used to provide a GetSSLPassword function.

func (*Conn) Begin

func (c *Conn) Begin(ctx context.Context) (Tx, error)

Begin starts a transaction. Unlike database/sql, the context only affects the begin command. i.e. there is no auto-rollback on context cancellation.

func (*Conn) BeginTx

func (c *Conn) BeginTx(ctx context.Context, txOptions TxOptions) (Tx, error)

BeginTx starts a transaction with txOptions determining the transaction mode. Unlike database/sql, the context only affects the begin command. i.e. there is no auto-rollback on context cancellation.

func (*Conn) Close

func (c *Conn) Close(ctx context.Context) error

Close closes a connection. It is safe to call Close on an already closed connection.

func (*Conn) Config

func (c *Conn) Config() *ConnConfig

Config returns a copy of config that was used to establish this connection.

func (*Conn) CopyFrom

func (c *Conn) CopyFrom(ctx context.Context, tableName Identifier, columnNames []string, rowSrc CopyFromSource) (int64, error)

CopyFrom uses the PostgreSQL copy protocol to perform bulk data insertion. It returns the number of rows copied and an error.

CopyFrom requires all values use the binary format. A pgtype.Type that supports the binary format must be registered for the type of each column. Almost all types implemented by pgx support the binary format.

Even though enum types appear to be strings they still must be registered to use with CopyFrom. This can be done with Conn.LoadType and pgtype.Map.RegisterType.

func (*Conn) Deallocate

func (c *Conn) Deallocate(ctx context.Context, name string) error

Deallocate releases a prepared statement. Calling Deallocate on a non-existent prepared statement will succeed.

func (*Conn) DeallocateAll

func (c *Conn) DeallocateAll(ctx context.Context) error

DeallocateAll releases all previously prepared statements from the server and client, where it also resets the statement and description cache.

func (*Conn) Exec

func (c *Conn) Exec(ctx context.Context, sql string, arguments ...any) (pgconn.CommandTag, error)

Exec executes sql. sql can be either a prepared statement name or an SQL string. arguments should be referenced positionally from the sql string as $1, $2, etc.

func (*Conn) IsClosed

func (c *Conn) IsClosed() bool

IsClosed reports if the connection has been closed.

func (*Conn) LoadType

func (c *Conn) LoadType(ctx context.Context, typeName string) (*pgtype.Type, error)

LoadType inspects the database for typeName and produces a pgtype.Type suitable for registration. typeName must be the name of a type where the underlying type(s) is already understood by pgx. It is for derived types. In particular, typeName must be one of the following:

func (*Conn) PgConn

func (c *Conn) PgConn() *pgconn.PgConn

PgConn returns the underlying *pgconn.PgConn. This is an escape hatch method that allows lower level access to the PostgreSQL connection than pgx exposes.

It is strongly recommended that the connection be idle (no in-progress queries) before the underlying *pgconn.PgConn is used and the connection must be returned to the same state before any *pgx.Conn methods are again used.

func (*Conn) Ping

func (c *Conn) Ping(ctx context.Context) error

Ping delegates to the underlying *pgconn.PgConn.Ping.

func (*Conn) Prepare

func (c *Conn) Prepare(ctx context.Context, name, sql string) (sd *pgconn.StatementDescription, err error)

Prepare creates a prepared statement with name and sql. sql can contain placeholders for bound parameters. These placeholders are referenced positionally as $1, $2, etc. name can be used instead of sql with Query, QueryRow, and Exec to execute the statement. It can also be used with Batch.Queue.

The underlying PostgreSQL identifier for the prepared statement will be name if name != sql or a digest of sql if name == sql.

Prepare is idempotent; i.e. it is safe to call Prepare multiple times with the same name and sql arguments. This allows a code path to Prepare and Query/Exec without concern for if the statement has already been prepared.

func (*Conn) Query

func (c *Conn) Query(ctx context.Context, sql string, args ...any) (Rows, error)

Query sends a query to the server and returns a Rows to read the results. Only errors encountered sending the query and initializing Rows will be returned. Err() on the returned Rows must be checked after the Rows is closed to determine if the query executed successfully.

The returned Rows must be closed before the connection can be used again. It is safe to attempt to read from the returned Rows even if an error is returned. The error will be the available in rows.Err() after rows are closed. It is allowed to ignore the error returned from Query and handle it in Rows.

It is possible for a call of FieldDescriptions on the returned Rows to return nil even if the Query call did not return an error.

It is possible for a query to return one or more rows before encountering an error. In most cases the rows should be collected before processing rather than processed while receiving each row. This avoids the possibility of the application processing rows from a query that the server rejected. The CollectRows function is useful here.

An implementor of QueryRewriter may be passed as the first element of args. It can rewrite the sql and change or replace args. For example, NamedArgs is QueryRewriter that implements named arguments.

For extra control over how the query is executed, the types QueryExecMode, QueryResultFormats, and QueryResultFormatsByOID may be used as the first args to control exactly how the query is executed. This is rarely needed. See the documentation for those types for details.

Example

This example uses Query without using any helpers to read the results. Normally CollectRows, ForEachRow, or another helper function should be used.

Code:

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 120*time.Second)
defer cancel()

conn, err := pgx.Connect(ctx, os.Getenv("PGX_TEST_DATABASE"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Unable to establish connection: %v", err)
    return
}

if conn.PgConn().ParameterStatus("crdb_version") != "" {
    // Skip test / example when running on CockroachDB. Since an example can't be skipped fake success instead.
    fmt.Println(`Cheeseburger: $10
Fries: $5
Soft Drink: $3`)
    return
}

// Setup example schema and data.
_, err = conn.Exec(ctx, `
create temporary table products (
    id int primary key generated by default as identity,
    name varchar(100) not null,
    price int not null
);

insert into products (name, price) values
    ('Cheeseburger', 10),
    ('Double Cheeseburger', 14),
    ('Fries', 5),
    ('Soft Drink', 3);
`)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Unable to setup example schema and data: %v", err)
    return
}

rows, err := conn.Query(ctx, "select name, price from products where price < $1 order by price desc", 12)

// It is unnecessary to check err. If an error occurred it will be returned by rows.Err() later. But in rare
// cases it may be useful to detect the error as early as possible.
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Query error: %v", err)
    return
}

// Ensure rows is closed. It is safe to close rows multiple times.
defer rows.Close()

// Iterate through the result set
for rows.Next() {
    var name string
    var price int32

    err = rows.Scan(&name, &price)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Scan error: %v", err)
        return
    }

    fmt.Printf("%s: $%d\n", name, price)
}

// rows is closed automatically when rows.Next() returns false so it is not necessary to manually close rows.

// The first error encountered by the original Query call, rows.Next or rows.Scan will be returned here.
if rows.Err() != nil {
    fmt.Printf("rows error: %v", rows.Err())
    return
}

Output:

Cheeseburger: $10
Fries: $5
Soft Drink: $3

func (*Conn) QueryRow

func (c *Conn) QueryRow(ctx context.Context, sql string, args ...any) Row

QueryRow is a convenience wrapper over Query. Any error that occurs while querying is deferred until calling Scan on the returned Row. That Row will error with ErrNoRows if no rows are returned.

func (*Conn) SendBatch

func (c *Conn) SendBatch(ctx context.Context, b *Batch) (br BatchResults)

SendBatch sends all queued queries to the server at once. All queries are run in an implicit transaction unless explicit transaction control statements are executed. The returned BatchResults must be closed before the connection is used again.

Example

Code:

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 120*time.Second)
defer cancel()

conn, err := pgx.Connect(ctx, os.Getenv("PGX_TEST_DATABASE"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Unable to establish connection: %v", err)
    return
}

batch := &pgx.Batch{}
batch.Queue("select 1 + 1").QueryRow(func(row pgx.Row) error {
    var n int32
    err := row.Scan(&n)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    fmt.Println(n)

    return err
})

batch.Queue("select 1 + 2").QueryRow(func(row pgx.Row) error {
    var n int32
    err := row.Scan(&n)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    fmt.Println(n)

    return err
})

batch.Queue("select 2 + 3").QueryRow(func(row pgx.Row) error {
    var n int32
    err := row.Scan(&n)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    fmt.Println(n)

    return err
})

err = conn.SendBatch(ctx, batch).Close()
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("SendBatch error: %v", err)
    return
}

Output:

2
3
5

func (c *Conn) TypeMap() *pgtype.Map

TypeMap returns the connection info used for this connection.

func (*Conn) WaitForNotification

func (c *Conn) WaitForNotification(ctx context.Context) (*pgconn.Notification, error)

WaitForNotification waits for a PostgreSQL notification. It wraps the underlying pgconn notification system in a slightly more convenient form.

type ConnConfig

ConnConfig contains all the options used to establish a connection. It must be created by ParseConfig and then it can be modified. A manually initialized ConnConfig will cause ConnectConfig to panic.

type ConnConfig struct {
    pgconn.Config

    Tracer QueryTracer

    // StatementCacheCapacity is maximum size of the statement cache used when executing a query with "cache_statement"
    // query exec mode.
    StatementCacheCapacity int

    // DescriptionCacheCapacity is the maximum size of the description cache used when executing a query with
    // "cache_describe" query exec mode.
    DescriptionCacheCapacity int

    // DefaultQueryExecMode controls the default mode for executing queries. By default pgx uses the extended protocol
    // and automatically prepares and caches prepared statements. However, this may be incompatible with proxies such as
    // PGBouncer. In this case it may be preferable to use QueryExecModeExec or QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol. The same
    // functionality can be controlled on a per query basis by passing a QueryExecMode as the first query argument.
    DefaultQueryExecMode QueryExecMode
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func ParseConfig

func ParseConfig(connString string) (*ConnConfig, error)

    // the rest of the call and will be passed to TraceConnectEnd.
    TraceConnectStart(ctx context.Context, data TraceConnectStartData) context.Context

    TraceConnectEnd(ctx context.Context, data TraceConnectEndData)
}

type CopyFromSource

CopyFromSource is the interface used by *Conn.CopyFrom as the source for copy data.

type CopyFromSource interface {
    // Next returns true if there is another row and makes the next row data
    // available to Values(). When there are no more rows available or an error
    // has occurred it returns false.
    Next() bool

    // Values returns the values for the current row.
    Values() ([]any, error)

    // Err returns any error that has been encountered by the CopyFromSource. If
    // this is not nil *Conn.CopyFrom will abort the copy.
    Err() error
}

func CopyFromFunc

func CopyFromFunc(nxtf func() (row []any, err error)) CopyFromSource

CopyFromFunc returns a CopyFromSource interface that relies on nxtf for values. nxtf returns rows until it either signals an 'end of data' by returning row=nil and err=nil, or it returns an error. If nxtf returns an error, the copy is aborted.

func CopyFromRows

func CopyFromRows(rows [][]any) CopyFromSource

CopyFromRows returns a CopyFromSource interface over the provided rows slice making it usable by *Conn.CopyFrom.

func CopyFromSlice

func CopyFromSlice(length int, next func(int) ([]any, error)) CopyFromSource

CopyFromSlice returns a CopyFromSource interface over a dynamic func making it usable by *Conn.CopyFrom.

type CopyFromTracer

CopyFromTracer traces CopyFrom.

type CopyFromTracer interface {
    // TraceCopyFromStart is called at the beginning of CopyFrom calls. The returned context is used for the
    // rest of the call and will be passed to TraceCopyFromEnd.
    TraceCopyFromStart(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceCopyFromStartData) context.Context

    TraceCopyFromEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceCopyFromEndData)
}

type ExtendedQueryBuilder

ExtendedQueryBuilder is used to choose the parameter formats, to format the parameters and to choose the result formats for an extended query.

type ExtendedQueryBuilder struct {
    ParamValues [][]byte

    ParamFormats  []int16
    ResultFormats []int16
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*ExtendedQueryBuilder) Build

func (eqb *ExtendedQueryBuilder) Build(m *pgtype.Map, sd *pgconn.StatementDescription, args []any) error

Build sets ParamValues, ParamFormats, and ResultFormats for use with *PgConn.ExecParams or *PgConn.ExecPrepared. If sd is nil then QueryExecModeExec behavior will be used.

type Identifier

Identifier a PostgreSQL identifier or name. Identifiers can be composed of multiple parts such as ["schema", "table"] or ["table", "column"].

type Identifier []string

func (Identifier) Sanitize

func (ident Identifier) Sanitize() string

Sanitize returns a sanitized string safe for SQL interpolation.

type LargeObject

A LargeObject is a large object stored on the server. It is only valid within the transaction that it was initialized in. It uses the context it was initialized with for all operations. It implements these interfaces:

Truncate the large object to size.

func (*LargeObject) Write

func (o *LargeObject) Write(p []byte) (int, error)

Write writes p to the large object and returns the number of bytes written and an error if not all of p was written.

type LargeObjectMode

type LargeObjectMode int32
const (
    LargeObjectModeWrite LargeObjectMode = 0x20000
    LargeObjectModeRead  LargeObjectMode = 0x40000
)

type LargeObjects

func (*LargeObjects) Open

func (o *LargeObjects) Open(ctx context.Context, oid uint32, mode LargeObjectMode) (*LargeObject, error)

Open opens an existing large object with the given mode. ctx will also be used for all operations on the opened large object.

func (o *LargeObjects) Unlink(ctx context.Context, oid uint32) error

Unlink removes a large object from the database.

type NamedArgs

NamedArgs can be used as the first argument to a query method. It will replace every '@' named placeholder with a '$' ordinal placeholder and construct the appropriate arguments.

For example, the following two queries are equivalent:

conn.Query(ctx, "select * from widgets where foo = @foo and bar = @bar", pgx.NamedArgs{"foo": 1, "bar": 2})
conn.Query(ctx, "select * from widgets where foo = $1 and bar = $2", 1, 2)

Named placeholders are case sensitive and must start with a letter or underscore. Subsequent characters can be letters, numbers, or underscores.

type NamedArgs map[string]any

func (NamedArgs) RewriteQuery

func (na NamedArgs) RewriteQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, sql string, args []any) (newSQL string, newArgs []any, err error)

    pgconn.ParseConfigOptions
}

type PrepareTracer

}

type QueryExecMode

type QueryExecMode int32
const (

    // Automatically prepare and cache statements. This uses the extended protocol. Queries are executed in a single round
    // trip after the statement is cached. This is the default. If the database schema is modified or the search_path is

    // number of columns returned by a "SELECT *" changes or the type of a column is changed.
    QueryExecModeCacheStatement QueryExecMode

    // Cache statement descriptions (i.e. argument and result types) and assume they do not change. This uses the extended

    QueryExecModeCacheDescribe

    // Get the statement description on every execution. This uses the extended protocol. Queries require two round trips

    // may cause problems with connection poolers that switch the underlying connection between round trips. It is safe
    // even when the the database schema is modified concurrently.
    QueryExecModeDescribeExec

    // Assume the PostgreSQL query parameter types based on the Go type of the arguments. This uses the extended protocol
    // with text formatted parameters and results. Queries are executed in a single round trip. Type mappings can be
    // registered with pgtype.Map.RegisterDefaultPgType. Queries will be rejected that have arguments that are

    // the PostgreSQL type can use a map[string]string directly as an argument. This mode cannot.
    QueryExecModeExec

    // Use the simple protocol. Assume the PostgreSQL query parameter types based on the Go type of the arguments.
    // Queries are executed in a single round trip. Type mappings can be registered with
    // pgtype.Map.RegisterDefaultPgType. Queries will be rejected that have arguments that are unregistered or ambiguous.
    // e.g. A map[string]string may have the PostgreSQL type json or hstore. Modes that know the PostgreSQL type can use

    //
    // QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol should have the user application visible behavior as QueryExecModeExec with minor
    // exceptions such as behavior when multiple result returning queries are erroneously sent in a single string.
    //
    // QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol uses client side parameter interpolation. All values are quoted and escaped. Prefer
    // QueryExecModeExec over QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol whenever possible. In general QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol
    // should only be used if connecting to a proxy server, connection pool server, or non-PostgreSQL server that does
    // not support the extended protocol.
    QueryExecModeSimpleProtocol
)

func (QueryExecMode) String

func (m QueryExecMode) String() string

type QueryResultFormats

QueryResultFormats controls the result format (text=0, binary=1) of a query by result column position.

type QueryResultFormats []int16

type QueryResultFormatsByOID

    RewriteQuery(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, sql string, args []any) (newSQL string, newArgs []any, err error)
}

type QueryTracer

QueryTracer traces Query, QueryRow, and Exec.

type QueryTracer interface {
    // TraceQueryStart is called at the beginning of Query, QueryRow, and Exec calls. The returned context is used for the
    // rest of the call and will be passed to TraceQueryEnd.

    TraceQueryEnd(ctx context.Context, conn *Conn, data TraceQueryEndData)
}

type QueuedQuery

QueuedQuery is a query that has been queued for execution via a Batch.

type QueuedQuery struct {
    SQL       string
    Arguments []any
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*QueuedQuery) Exec

func (qq *QueuedQuery) Exec(fn func(ct pgconn.CommandTag) error)

Exec sets fn to be called when the response to qq is received.

func (*QueuedQuery) Query

func (qq *QueuedQuery) Query(fn func(rows Rows) error)

Query sets fn to be called when the response to qq is received.

func (*QueuedQuery) QueryRow

func (qq *QueuedQuery) QueryRow(fn func(row Row) error)

Query sets fn to be called when the response to qq is received.

type Row

Row is a convenience wrapper over Rows that is returned by QueryRow.

Row is an interface instead of a struct to allow tests to mock QueryRow. However, adding a method to an interface is technically a breaking change. Because of this the Row interface is partially excluded from semantic version requirements. Methods will not be removed or changed, but new methods may be added.

type Row interface {
    // Scan works the same as Rows. with the following exceptions. If no
    // rows were found it returns ErrNoRows. If multiple rows are returned it
    // ignores all but the first.
    Scan(dest ...any) error
}

type RowScanner

RowScanner scans an entire row at a time into the RowScanner.

type RowScanner interface {
    // ScanRows scans the row.
    ScanRow(rows Rows) error
}

type RowToFunc

RowToFunc is a function that scans or otherwise converts row to a T.

type RowToFunc[T any] func(row CollectableRow) (T, error)

type Rows

Rows is the result set returned from *Conn.Query. Rows must be closed before the *Conn can be used again. Rows are closed by explicitly calling Close(), calling Next() until it returns false, or when a fatal error occurs.

Once a Rows is closed the only methods that may be called are Close(), Err(), and CommandTag().

Rows is an interface instead of a struct to allow tests to mock Query. However, adding a method to an interface is technically a breaking change. Because of this the Rows interface is partially excluded from semantic version requirements. Methods will not be removed or changed, but new methods may be added.

type Rows interface {
    // Close closes the rows, making the connection ready for use again. It is safe
    // to call Close after rows is already closed.
    Close()

    // Err returns any error that occurred while reading. Err must only be called after the Rows is closed (either by
    // calling Close or by Next returning false). If it is called early it may return nil even if there was an error

type Tx

Tx represents a database transaction.

Tx is an interface instead of a struct to enable connection pools to be implemented without relying on internal pgx state, to support pseudo-nested transactions with savepoints, and to allow tests to mock transactions. However, adding a method to an interface is technically a breaking change. If new methods are added to Conn it may be desirable to add them to Tx as well. Because of this the Tx interface is partially excluded from semantic version requirements. Methods will not be removed or changed, but new methods may be added.

type Tx interface {
    // Begin starts a pseudo nested transaction.
    Begin(ctx context.Context) (Tx, error)

    // Commit commits the transaction if this is a real transaction or releases the savepoint if this is a pseudo nested
    // transaction. Commit will return an error where errors.Is(ErrTxClosed) is true if the Tx is already closed, but is
    // otherwise safe to call multiple times. If the commit fails with a rollback status (e.g. the transaction was already
    // in a broken state) then an error where errors.Is(ErrTxCommitRollback) is true will be returned.
    Commit(ctx context.Context) error

    // Rollback rolls back the transaction if this is a real transaction or rolls back to the savepoint if this is a
    // pseudo nested transaction. Rollback will return an error where errors.Is(ErrTxClosed) is true if the Tx is already
    // closed, but is otherwise safe to call multiple times. Hence, a defer tx.Rollback() is safe even if tx.Commit() will
    // be called first in a non-error condition. Any other failure of a real transaction will result in the connection
    // being closed.
    Rollback(ctx context.Context) error

    CopyFrom(ctx context.Context, tableName Identifier, columnNames []string, rowSrc CopyFromSource) (int64, error)
    SendBatch(ctx context.Context, b *Batch) BatchResults
    LargeObjects() LargeObjects

    Prepare(ctx context.Context, name, sql string) (*pgconn.StatementDescription, error)

    Exec(ctx context.Context, sql string, arguments ...any) (commandTag pgconn.CommandTag, err error)
    Query(ctx context.Context, sql string, args ...any) (Rows, error)
    QueryRow(ctx context.Context, sql string, args ...any) Row

    // Conn returns the underlying *Conn that on which this transaction is executing.
    Conn() *Conn
}

type TxAccessMode

TxAccessMode is the transaction access mode (read write or read only)

type TxAccessMode string

Transaction access modes

const (
    ReadWrite TxAccessMode = "read write"
    ReadOnly  TxAccessMode = "read only"
)

type TxDeferrableMode

TxDeferrableMode is the transaction deferrable mode (deferrable or not deferrable)

type TxDeferrableMode string

Transaction deferrable modes

const (
    Deferrable    TxDeferrableMode = "deferrable"
    NotDeferrable TxDeferrableMode = "not deferrable"
)

type TxIsoLevel

TxIsoLevel is the transaction isolation level (serializable, repeatable read, read committed or read uncommitted)

type TxIsoLevel string

Transaction isolation levels

const (
    Serializable    TxIsoLevel = "serializable"
    RepeatableRead  TxIsoLevel = "repeatable read"
    ReadCommitted   TxIsoLevel = "read committed"
    ReadUncommitted TxIsoLevel = "read uncommitted"
)

type TxOptions

TxOptions are transaction modes within a transaction block

type TxOptions struct {
    IsoLevel       TxIsoLevel
    AccessMode     TxAccessMode
    DeferrableMode TxDeferrableMode

    // BeginQuery is the SQL query that will be executed to begin the transaction. This allows using non-standard syntax
    // such as BEGIN PRIORITY HIGH with CockroachDB. If set this will override the other settings.
    BeginQuery string
}
