pq - A pure Go postgres driver for Go's database/sql package

Install

go get github.com/lib/pq

Docs

For detailed documentation and basic usage examples, please see the package documentation at http://godoc.org/github.com/lib/pq.

Tests

go test is used for testing. A running PostgreSQL server is required, with the ability to log in. The default database to connect to test with is "pqgotest," but it can be overridden using environment variables.

Example:

PGHOST=/var/run/postgresql go test github.com/lib/pq

Optionally, a benchmark suite can be run as part of the tests:

PGHOST=/var/run/postgresql go test -bench .
