Go-Between
Just a noob fumbling around in go. Learning the ropes of the go language and creating a small web API for communicating with MS-SQL (a "go-between" as such).
Usage
I hadn't intended this for public use, rather just storing it here for personal reference. If you find it useful, or can learn from it in any way (just as I am), drop me a tweet - @Danw33 to let me know!
Run from source
To run go-between directly from source, use the following command:
go run ./src/go-between.go [flags]
(where [flags] is a sequence of arguments to configure the application)
Build and run
To compile go-between from source to an executable binary, then run it, use the following commands:
go build ./src/go-between.go
chmod +X ./go-between
./go-between [flags]
(where [flags] is a sequence of arguments to configure the application)
By default, the go compiler will include a symbol table. To build without this the following can be used:
go build -ldflags "-s -w" ./src/go-between.go
While this produces a smaller output binary, crashes would yield no real usable stack trace information.
Flags
The go-between application can take a number of runtime arguments (flags) to configure various aspects of the program.
Usage of ./go-between:
-dbDriver string
Database Driver (mssql/sqlserver) (default "mssql")
-dbHostname string
Database Server Hostname or IP Address
-dbInstance string
Database Instance (optional)
-dbPassword string
Database Password
-dbPort int
Database Server Port (default 1433)
-dbSchema string
Database Schema Name
-dbUser string
Database Username
-debug
Enable debug logging
-listenAddress string
HTTP API Listen Address (default "127.0.0.1")
-listenPort int
HTTP API Listen Port (default 8080)
Debugging can be enabled by passing the flag -debug when launching go-between; this enables additional console log output which may be useful when troubleshooting.
