go-sql-spanner
Google Cloud Spanner driver for
Go's database/sql package.
import _ "github.com/googleapis/go-sql-spanner"
db, err := sql.Open("spanner", "projects/PROJECT/instances/INSTANCE/databases/DATABASE")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
rows, err := db.QueryContext(ctx, "SELECT id, text FROM tweets WHERE likes > @likes", sql.Named("likes", 500))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer rows.Close()
var (
id int64
text string
)
for rows.Next() {
if err := rows.Scan(&id, &text); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(id, text)
}
Statements
Statements support follows the official Google Cloud Spanner Go client
style arguments as well as positional parameters. It is highly recommended to use either positional parameters in
combination with positional arguments, or named parameters in combination with named arguments.
Using positional parameters with positional arguments
db.QueryContext(ctx, "SELECT id, text FROM tweets WHERE likes > ?", 500)
db.ExecContext(ctx, "INSERT INTO tweets (id, text, rts) VALUES (?, ?, ?)", id, text, 10000)
Using named parameters with named arguments
db.ExecContext(ctx, "DELETE FROM tweets WHERE id = @id", sql.Named("id", 14544498215374))
db.ExecContext(ctx, "INSERT INTO tweets (id, text, rts) VALUES (@id, @text, @rts)",
sql.Named("id", id), sql.Named("text", text), sql.Named("rts", 10000))
Using named parameters with positional arguments (not recommended)
Named parameters can also be used in combination with positional arguments,
but this is not recommended, as the behavior can be hard to predict if
the same named query parameter is used in multiple places in the statement.
db.ExecContext(ctx, "DELETE FROM tweets WHERE id = @id", 14544498215374)
Transactions
- Read-write transactions always uses the strongest isolation level and ignore the user-specified level.
- Read-only transactions do strong-reads by default. Read-only transactions must be ended by calling
either Commit or Rollback. Calling either of these methods will end the current read-only
transaction and return the session that is used to the session pool.
tx, err := db.BeginTx(ctx, &sql.TxOptions{})
tx, err := db.BeginTx(ctx, &sql.TxOptions{
ReadOnly: true,
})
conn, _ := db.Conn(ctx)
_, _ := conn.ExecContext(ctx, "SET READ_ONLY_STALENESS='EXACT_STALENESS 10s'")
tx, err := conn.BeginTx(ctx, &sql.TxOptions{
ReadOnly: true,
})
DDL Statements
DDL statements
are not supported in transactions per Cloud Spanner restriction.
Instead, run them on a connection without an active transaction:
db.ExecContext(ctx, "CREATE TABLE ...")
Multiple DDL statements can be sent in one batch to Cloud Spanner by defining a DDL batch:
conn, _ := db.Conn(ctx)
_, _ := conn.ExecContext(ctx, "START BATCH DDL")
_, _ = conn.ExecContext(ctx, "CREATE TABLE Singers (SingerId INT64, Name STRING(MAX)) PRIMARY KEY (SingerId)")
_, _ = conn.ExecContext(ctx, "CREATE INDEX Idx_Singers_Name ON Singers (Name)")
_, _ := conn.ExecContext(ctx, "RUN BATCH")
See also the batch DDL example.
Examples
The examples
directory contains standalone code samples that show how to use common
features of Cloud Spanner and/or the database/sql package. Each standalone code sample can be
executed without any prior setup, as long as Docker is installed on your local system.
Raw Connection / Specific Cloud Spanner Features
Use the Conn.Raw
method to get access to a Cloud Spanner specific connection instance. This
instance can be used to access Cloud Spanner specific features and settings, such as mutations,
read-only staleness settings and commit timestamps.
conn, _ := db.Conn(ctx)
_ = conn.Raw(func(driverConn interface{}) error {
spannerConn, ok := driverConn.(spannerdriver.SpannerConn)
if !ok {
return fmt.Errorf("unexpected driver connection %v, expected SpannerConn", driverConn)
}
_ = spannerConn.SetReadOnlyStaleness(spanner.ExactStaleness(10 * time.Second))
_ = spannerConn.ReadOnlyStaleness()
return nil
})
See also the examples directory for further code samples.
Emulator
See Google Cloud Spanner Emulator to learn how to start the emulator.
Once the emulator is started and the host environmental flag is set, the driver will automatically connect to the
emulator.
$ gcloud beta emulators spanner start
$ export SPANNER_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:9010
Spanner PostgreSQL Interface
This driver only works with the Spanner GoogleSQL dialect. For the
Spanner PostgreSQL dialect, any PostgreSQL driver that implements the
database/sql interface can be used
in combination with
PGAdapter.
For example, the pgx driver can be used in combination with
PGAdapter: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/pgadapter/blob/postgresql-dialect/docs/pgx.md
Troubleshooting
The driver will retry any Aborted error that is returned by Cloud Spanner
during a read/write transaction. If the driver detects that the data that
was used by the transaction was changed by another transaction between the
initial attempt and the retry attempt, the Aborted error will be propagated
to the client application as an spannerdriver.ErrAbortedDueToConcurrentModification
error.
Our libraries are compatible with at least the three most recent, major Go
releases. They are currently compatible with:
Authorization
By default, each API will use Google Application Default Credentials
for authorization credentials used in calling the API endpoints. This will allow your
application to run in many environments without requiring explicit configuration.
