Package ora implements an Oracle database driver.
Golang Oracle Database Driver
TL;DR; just use it
import (
"database/sql"
_ "gopkg.in/rana/ora.v4"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("ora", "user/passw@host:port/sid")
defer db.Close()
// Set timeout (Go 1.8)
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
// Set prefetch count (Go 1.8)
ctx = ora.WithStmtCfg(ctx, ora.Cfg().StmtCfg.SetPrefetchCount(50000))
rows, err := db.QueryContext(ctx, "SELECT * FROM user_objects")
defer rows.Close()
}
Call stored procedure with OUT parameters:
import (
"gopkg.in/rana/ora.v4"
)
func main() {
env, srv, ses, err := ora.NewEnvSrvSes("user/passw@host:port/sid")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer env.Close()
defer srv.Close()
defer ses.Close()
var user string
if _, err = ses.PrepAndExe("BEGIN :1 := SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', :2); END;", &res, "SESSION_USER"); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Printf("user: %q", user)
}
Background
An Oracle database may be accessed through the
database/sql package or through the ora
package directly. database/sql offers connection pooling, thread safety, a
consistent API to multiple database technologies and a common set of Go types.
The ora package offers additional features including pointers, slices, nullable
types, numerics of various sizes, Oracle-specific types, Go return type
configuration, and Oracle abstractions such as environment, server and session.
The ora package is written with the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) C-language
libraries provided by Oracle. The OCI libraries are a standard for client
application communication and driver communication with Oracle databases.
The ora package has been verified to work with:
* Oracle Standard 11g (11.2.0.4.0), Linux x86_64 (RHEL6)
* Oracle Enterprise 12c (12.1.0.1.0), Windows 8.1 and AMD64.
---

Installation
Minimum requirements are Go 1.3 with CGO enabled, a GCC C compiler, and Oracle
11g (11.2.0.4.0) or Oracle Instant Client (11.2.0.4.0).
Install Oracle or Oracle Instant Client.
Copy the oci8.pc from the contrib
folder (or the one for
your system, maybe tailored to your specific locations) to a folder in
$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
or a system folder, such as
cp -aL contrib/oci8.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/oci8.pc
The ora package has no external Go dependencies and is available on GitHub and
gopkg.in:
go get gopkg.in/rana/ora.v4
Data Types
The ora package supports all built-in Oracle data types. The supported Oracle
built-in data types are NUMBER, BINARY_DOUBLE, BINARY_FLOAT, FLOAT, DATE,
TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL
YEAR TO MONTH, INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND, CHAR, NCHAR, VARCHAR, VARCHAR2,
NVARCHAR2, LONG, CLOB, NCLOB, BLOB, LONG RAW, RAW, ROWID and BFILE.
SYS_REFCURSOR is also supported.
Oracle does not provide a built-in boolean type. Oracle provides a single-byte
character type. A common practice is to define two single-byte characters which
represent true and false. The ora package adopts this approach. The oracle
package associates a Go bool value to a Go rune and sends and receives the rune
to a CHAR(1 BYTE) column or CHAR(1 CHAR) column.
The default false rune is zero '0'. The default true rune is one '1'. The bool
rune association may be configured or disabled when directly using the ora
package but not with the database/sql package.
SQL Placeholder Syntax
Within a SQL string a placeholder may be specified to indicate where a Go
variable is placed. The SQL placeholder is an Oracle identifier, from 1 to 30
characters, prefixed with a colon (:). For example:
// example Oracle placeholder uses a colon
INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (:C1)
Placeholders within a SQL statement are bound by position. The actual name is
not used by the ora package driver e.g., placeholder names :c1, :1, or :xyz are
treated equally.
LastInsertId
The database/sql
package provides a LastInsertId method to return the last
inserted row's id. Oracle does not provide such functionality, but if you append
... RETURNING col /*LastInsertId*/
to your SQL, then it will be presented as
LastInsertId. Note that you have to mark with a /*LastInsertId*/
(case
insensitive) your RETURNING
part, to allow ora to return the last column as
LastInsertId()
. That column must fit in int64
, though!
Working With The Sql Package
You may access an Oracle database through the database/sql package. The
database/sql package offers a consistent API across different databases,
connection pooling, thread safety and a set of common Go types. database/sql
makes working with Oracle straight-forward.
The ora package implements interfaces in the database/sql/driver package
enabling database/sql to communicate with an Oracle database. Using database/sql
ensures you never have to call the ora package directly.
When using database/sql, the mapping between Go types and Oracle types may be
changed slightly. The database/sql package has strict expectations on Go return
types. The Go-to-Oracle type mapping for database/sql is:
Go type Oracle type
int64 NUMBER°, BINARY_DOUBLE, BINARY_FLOAT, FLOAT
float64 NUMBER¹, BINARY_DOUBLE, BINARY_FLOAT, FLOAT
time.Time TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, DATE
string CHAR², NCHAR, VARCHAR, VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, LONG, CLOB, NCLOB
bool CHAR(1 BYTE)³, CHAR(1 CHAR)³
[]byte BLOB, LONG RAW, RAW
° A select-list column defined as an Oracle NUMBER with zero scale e.g.,
NUMBER(10,0) is returned as an int64. Either int64 or float64 may be inserted
into a NUMBER column with zero scale. float64 insertion will have its fractional
part truncated.
¹ A select-list column defined as an Oracle NUMBER with a scale greater than
zero e.g., NUMBER(10,4) is returned as a float64. Either int64 or float64 may
be inserted into a NUMBER column with a scale greater than zero.
² A select-list column defined as an Oracle CHAR with a length greater than 1
e.g., CHAR(2 BYTE) or CHAR(2 CHAR) is returned as a string. A Go string of any
length up to the column max length may be inserted into the CHAR column.
³ The Go bool value false is mapped to the zero rune '0'. The Go bool value
true is mapped to the one rune '1'.
The "ora" driver is automatically registered for use with sql.Open, but you can
call ora.SetCfg to set the used configuration options including statement
configuration and Rset configuration.
func init() {
drvCfg := ora.Cfg()
drvCfg.FalseRune = 'N'
drvCfg.TrueRune = 'Y'
drvCfg.TrueRune = 'Y'
ora.SetCfg(drvCfg)
}
When configuring the driver for use with database/sql, keep in mind that
database/sql has strict Go type-to-Oracle type mapping expectations.
Working With The Oracle Package Directly
The ora package allows programming with pointers, slices, nullable types,
numerics of various sizes, Oracle-specific types, Go return type configuration,
and Oracle abstractions such as environment, server and session. When working
with the ora package directly, the API is slightly different than database/sql.
When using the ora package directly, the mapping between Go types and Oracle
types may be changed. The Go-to-Oracle type mapping for the ora package is:
Go type Oracle type
int64, int32, int16, int8 NUMBER°, BINARY_DOUBLE, BINARY_FLOAT, FLOAT
uint64, uint32, uint16, uint8
Int64, Int32, Int16, Int8
Uint64, Uint32, Uint16, Uint8
*int64, *int32, *int16, *int8
*uint64, *uint32, *uint16, *uint8
[]int64, []int32, []int16, []int8
[]uint64, []uint32, []uint16, []uint8
[]Int64, []Int32, []Int16, []Int8
[]Uint64, []Uint32, []Uint16, []Uint8
float64, float32 NUMBER¹, BINARY_DOUBLE, BINARY_FLOAT, FLOAT
Float64, Float32
*float64, *float32

Lob, []Lob, *Lob BLOB, CLOB
Raw, []Raw RAW, LONG RAW
IntervalYM INTERVAL MONTH TO YEAR
[]IntervalYM
IntervalDS INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND
[]IntervalDS
Bfile BFILE
° A select-list column defined as an Oracle NUMBER with zero scale e.g.,
NUMBER(10,0) is returned as an int64 by default. Integer and floating point
numerics may be inserted into a NUMBER column with zero scale. Inserting a
floating point numeric will have its fractional part truncated.
¹ A select-list column defined as an Oracle NUMBER with a scale greater than
zero e.g., NUMBER(10,4) is returned as a float64 by default. Integer and
floating point numerics may be inserted into a NUMBER column with a scale
greater than zero.
² A select-list column defined as an Oracle CHAR with a length greater than 1
e.g., CHAR(2 BYTE) or CHAR(2 CHAR) is returned as a string. A Go string of any
length up to the column max length may be inserted into the CHAR column.
³ The Go bool value false is mapped to the zero rune '0'. The Go bool value
true is mapped to the one rune '1'.

}
Pointers may be used to capture out-bound values from a SQL statement such as an
insert or stored procedure call. For example, a numeric pointer captures an
identity value:
// given:
// CREATE TABLE T1 (
// C1 NUMBER(19,0) GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1),
// C2 VARCHAR2(48 CHAR))
var id int64
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C2) VALUES ('GO') RETURNING C1 INTO :C1")
stmt.Exe(&id)
A string pointer captures an out parameter from a stored procedure:
// given:
// CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC1 (P1 OUT VARCHAR2) AS BEGIN P1 := 'GO'; END PROC1;
var str string
stmt, err = ses.Prep("CALL PROC1(:1)")
stmt.Exe(&str)
Slices may be used to insert multiple records with a single insert statement:
// insert one million rows with single insert statement
// given: CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 NUMBER)
values := make([]int64, 1000000)
for n, _ := range values {
values[n] = int64(n)
}
rowsAffected, err := ses.PrepAndExe("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (:C1)", values)
The ora package provides nullable Go types to support DML operations such as
insert and select. The nullable Go types provided by the ora package are Int64,
Int32, Int16, Int8, Uint64, Uint32, Uint16, Uint8, Float64, Float32, Time,
IntervalYM, IntervalDS, String, Bool, Binary and Bfile. For example, you may
insert nullable Strings and select nullable Strings:
// insert String slice
// given: CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 VARCHAR2(48 CHAR))
a := make([]ora.String, 5)
a[0] = ora.String{Value: "Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient."}
a[1] = ora.String{Value: "Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to"}
a[2] = ora.String{IsNull: true}
a[3] = ora.String{Value: "It's a fast, statically typed, compiled"}
a[4] = ora.String{Value: "One of Go's key design goals is code"}
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (:C1)")
stmt.Exe(a)
// Specify OraS to Prep method to return ora.String values
// fetch records
stmt, err = ses.Prep("SELECT C1 FROM T1", OraS)
rset, err := stmt.Qry()
for rset.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset.Row[0])
}
The Stmt.Prep
method is variadic accepting zero or more GoColumnType
which
define a Go return type for a select-list column. For example, a Prep call can
be configured to return an int64 and a nullable Int64 from the same column:
// given: create table t1 (c1 number)
stmt, err = ses.Prep("SELECT C1, C1 FROM T1", ora.I64, ora.OraI64)
rset, err := stmt.Qry()
for rset.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset.Row[0], rset.Row[1])
}
Go numerics of various sizes are supported in DML operations. The ora package
supports int64, int32, int16, int8, uint64, uint32, uint16, uint8, float64 and
float32. For example, you may insert a uint16 and select numerics of various
sizes:
// insert uint16
// given: create table t1 (c1 number)
value := uint16(9)
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (:C1)")
stmt.Exe(value)
// select numerics of various sizes from the same column
stmt, err = ses.Prep(
"SELECT C1, C1, C1, C1, C1, C1, C1, C1, C1, C1, FROM T1",
ora.I64, ora.I32, ora.I16, ora.I8, ora.U64, ora.U32, ora.U16, ora.U8,
ora.F64, ora.F32)
rset, err := stmt.Qry()
row := rset.NextRow()
If a non-nullable type is defined for a nullable column returning null, the Go
type's zero value is returned.
GoColumnTypes defined by the ora package are:
Go type GoColumnType
int64 I64
int32 I32
int16 I16
int8 I8
uint64 U64
uint32 U32
uint16 U16
uint8 U8
float64 F64
Int64 OraI64
Int32 OraI32
Int16 OraI16
Int8 OraI8
Uint64 OraU64
Uint32 OraU32
Uint16 OraU16
Uint8 OraU8
Float64 OraF64
Float32 OraF32
time.Time T
Time OraT
string S
String OraS
bool B
Bool OraB
[]byte Bin
Raw Bin
Lob° Bin or S
default¹ D
° Lob will return binary data if the Oracle column is a BLOB; otherwise, Lob
will return a string if the Oracle column is a CLOB.
¹ D represents a default mapping between a select-list column and a Go type.
The default mapping is defined in RsetCfg.
When Stmt.Prep doesn't receive a GoColumnType, or receives an incorrect
GoColumnType, the default value defined in RsetCfg is used.
EnvCfg, SrvCfg, SesCfg, StmtCfg and RsetCfg are the main configuration structs.
EnvCfg configures aspects of an Env. SrvCfg configures aspects of a Srv. SesCfg
configures aspects of a Ses. StmtCfg configures aspects of a Stmt. RsetCfg
configures aspects of Rset. StmtCfg and RsetCfg have the most options to
configure. RsetCfg defines the default mapping between an Oracle select-list
column and a Go type. StmtCfg may be set in an EnvCfg, SrvCfg, SesCfg and
StmtCfg. RsetCfg may be set in a Stmt.
EnvCfg.StmtCfg, SrvCfg.StmtCfg, SesCfg.StmtCfg may optionally be specified to
configure a statement. If StmtCfg isn't specified default values are applied.
EnvCfg.StmtCfg, SrvCfg.StmtCfg, SesCfg.StmtCfg cascade to new descendent
structs. When ora.OpenEnv() is called a specified EnvCfg is used or a default
EnvCfg is created. Creating a Srv with env.OpenSrv() will use SrvCfg.StmtCfg if
it is specified; otherwise, EnvCfg.StmtCfg is copied by value to SrvCfg.StmtCfg.
Creating a Ses with srv.OpenSes() will use SesCfg.StmtCfg if it is specified;
otherwise, SrvCfg.StmtCfg is copied by value to SesCfg.StmtCfg. Creating a Stmt
with ses.Prep() will use SesCfg.StmtCfg if it is specified; otherwise, a new
StmtCfg with default values is set on the Stmt. Call Stmt.Cfg() to change a
Stmt's configuration.
An Env may contain multiple Srv. A Srv may contain multiple Ses. A Ses may
contain multiple Stmt. A Stmt may contain multiple Rset.
// StmtCfg cascades to descendent structs
// EnvCfg -> SrvCfg -> SesCfg -> StmtCfg -> RsetCfg
Setting a RsetCfg on a StmtCfg does not cascade through descendent structs.
Configuration of Stmt.Cfg takes effect prior to calls to Stmt.Exe and Stmt.Qry;
consequently, any updates to Stmt.Cfg after a call to Stmt.Exe or Stmt.Qry are
not observed.
One configuration scenario may be to set a server's select statements to return
nullable Go types by default:
sc := &ora.SrvCfg{Dblink: "orcl"}
sc.Dblink = "orcl"
cfg := NewStmtCfg().
SetNumberInt(ora.OraI64).
SetNumberFloat(ora.OraF64).
SetBinaryDouble(ora.OraF64).
SetBinaryFloat(ora.OraF64).
SetFloat(ora.OraF64).
SetDate(ora.OraT).
SetTimestamp(ora.OraT).
SetTimestampTz(ora.OraT).
SetTimestampLtz(ora.OraT).
SetChar1(ora.OraS).
SetVarchar(ora.OraS).
SetLong(ora.OraS).
SetClob(ora.OraS).
SetBlob(ora.OraBin).
SetRaw(ora.OraBin).
SetLongRaw(ora.OraBin)
sc.StmtCfg = cfg
srv, err := env.OpenSrv(sc)
// any new SesCfg.StmtCfg, StmtCfg.Cfg will receive this StmtCfg
// any new Rset will receive the StmtCfg.Rset configuration
Another scenario may be to configure the runes mapped to bool values:
// update StmtCfg to change the FalseRune and TrueRune inserted into the database
// given: CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 CHAR(1 BYTE))
stmt.Cfg().Char1(ora.OraB)
// insert 'false' record
var falseValue bool = false
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (:C1)")
stmt.Cfg().FalseRune = 'N'
stmt.Exe(falseValue)
// insert 'true' record
var trueValue bool = true
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (:C1)")
stmt.Cfg().TrueRune = 'Y'
stmt.Exe(trueValue)
// update RsetCfg to change the TrueRune
// used to translate an Oracle char to a Go bool
// fetch inserted records
stmt, err = ses.Prep("SELECT C1 FROM T1")
stmt.Cfg().Rset.TrueRune = 'Y'
rset, err := stmt.Qry()
for rset.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset.Row[0])
}
Oracle-specific types offered by the ora package are ora.Rset, ora.IntervalYM,
ora.IntervalDS, ora.Raw, ora.Lob and ora.Bfile. ora.Rset represents an Oracle
SYS_REFCURSOR. ora.IntervalYM represents an Oracle INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH.
ora.IntervalDS represents an Oracle INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND. ora.Raw represents
an Oracle RAW or LONG RAW. ora.Lob may represent an Oracle BLOB or Oracle CLOB.
And ora.Bfile represents an Oracle BFILE. ROWID columns are returned as strings
and don't have a unique Go type.
LOBs
The default for SELECTing [BC]LOB columns is a safe Bin or S, which means all
the contents of the LOB is slurped into memory and returned as a []byte or
string.
If you want more control, you can use ora.L in Prep, Qry or
ses.SetCfg(ses.Cfg().SetBlob(ora.L))
. But keep in mind that Oracle restricts
the use of LOBs: it is forbidden to do ANYTHING while reading the LOB! No
another query, no exec, no close of the Rset - even advance to the next record
in the result set is forbidden!
Failing to adhere these rules results in "Invalid handle" and ORA-03127 errors.
For examples, see z_lob_test.go.
Rset
Rset is used to obtain Go values from a SQL select statement. Methods Rset.Next,
Rset.NextRow, and Rset.Len are available. Fields Rset.Row, Rset.Err, Rset.Index,
and Rset.ColumnNames are also available. The Next method attempts to load data
from an Oracle buffer into Row, returning true when successful. When no data is
available, or if an error occurs, Next returns false setting Row to nil. Any
error in Next is assigned to Err. Calling Next increments Index and method Len
returns the total number of rows processed. The NextRow method is convenient for
returning a single row. NextRow calls Next and returns Row. ColumnNames returns
the names of columns defined by the SQL select statement.
Rset has two usages. Rset may be returned from Stmt.Qry when prepared with a SQL
select statement:
// given: CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 NUMBER, C2, CHAR(1 BYTE), C3 VARCHAR2(48 CHAR))
stmt, err = ses.Prep("SELECT C1, C2, C3 FROM T1")
rset, err := stmt.Qry()
for rset.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset.Index, rset.Row[0], rset.Row[1], rset.Row[2])
}
Or, *Rset may be passed to Stmt.Exe when prepared with a stored procedure
accepting an OUT SYS_REFCURSOR parameter:
// given:
// CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 NUMBER, C2 VARCHAR2(48 CHAR))
// CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC1(P1 OUT SYS_REFCURSOR) AS
// BEGIN OPEN P1 FOR SELECT C1, C2 FROM T1 ORDER BY C1; END PROC1;
stmt, err = ses.Prep("CALL PROC1(:1)")
rset := &ora.Rset{}
stmt.Exe(rset)
if rset.IsOpen() {
for rset.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset.Row[0], rset.Row[1])
}
}
Stored procedures with multiple OUT SYS_REFCURSOR parameters enable a single Exe
call to obtain multiple Rsets:
// given:
// CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 NUMBER, C2 VARCHAR2(48 CHAR))
// CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC1(P1 OUT SYS_REFCURSOR, P2 OUT SYS_REFCURSOR) AS
// BEGIN OPEN P1 FOR SELECT C1 FROM T1 ORDER BY C1; OPEN P2 FOR SELECT C2 FROM T1 ORDER BY C2;
// END PROC1;
stmt, err = ses.Prep("CALL PROC1(:1, :2)")
rset1 := &ora.Rset{}
rset2 := &ora.Rset{}
stmt.Exe(rset1, rset2)
// read from first cursor
if rset1.IsOpen() {
for rset1.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset1.Row[0])
}
}
// read from second cursor
if rset2.IsOpen() {
for rset2.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset2.Row[0])
}
}
The types of values assigned to Row may be configured in StmtCfg.Rset. For
configuration to take effect, assign StmtCfg.Rset prior to calling Stmt.Qry or
Stmt.Exe.
Rset prefetching may be controlled by StmtCfg.PrefetchRowCount and
StmtCfg.PrefetchMemorySize. PrefetchRowCount works in coordination with
PrefetchMemorySize. When PrefetchRowCount is set to zero only PrefetchMemorySize
is used; otherwise, the minimum of PrefetchRowCount and PrefetchMemorySize is
used. The default uses a PrefetchMemorySize of 134MB.
Opening and closing Rsets is managed internally. Rset does not have an Open
method or Close method.
IntervalYM may be be inserted and selected:
// insert IntervalYM slice
// given: CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH)
a := make([]ora.IntervalYM, 5)
a[0] = ora.IntervalYM{Year: 1, Month: 1}
a[1] = ora.IntervalYM{Year: 99, Month: 9}
a[2] = ora.IntervalYM{IsNull: true}
a[3] = ora.IntervalYM{Year: -1, Month: -1}
a[4] = ora.IntervalYM{Year: -99, Month: -9}
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (:C1)")
stmt.Exe(a)
// query IntervalYM
stmt, err = ses.Prep("SELECT C1 FROM T1")
rset, err := stmt.Qry()
for rset.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset.Row[0])
}
IntervalDS may be be inserted and selected:
// insert IntervalDS slice
// given: CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND)
a := make([]ora.IntervalDS, 5)
a[0] = ora.IntervalDS{Day: 1, Hour: 1, Minute: 1, Second: 1, Nanosecond: 123456789}
a[1] = ora.IntervalDS{Day: 59, Hour: 59, Minute: 59, Second: 59, Nanosecond: 123456789}
a[2] = ora.IntervalDS{IsNull: true}
a[3] = ora.IntervalDS{Day: -1, Hour: -1, Minute: -1, Second: -1, Nanosecond: -123456789}
a[4] = ora.IntervalDS{Day: -59, Hour: -59, Minute: -59, Second: -59, Nanosecond: -123456789}
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (:C1)")
stmt.Exe(a)
// query IntervalDS
stmt, err = ses.Prep("SELECT C1 FROM T1")
rset, err := stmt.Qry()
for rset.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset.Row[0])
}
Transactions on an Oracle server are supported. DML statements auto-commit
unless a transaction has started:
// given: CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 NUMBER)
// rollback
tx, err := ses.StartTx()
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (3)")
stmt.Exe()
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (5)")
stmt.Exe()
tx.Rollback()
// commit
tx, err = ses.StartTx()
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (7)")
stmt.Exe()
stmt, err = ses.Prep("INSERT INTO T1 (C1) VALUES (9)")
stmt.Exe()
tx.Commit()
// fetch records
stmt, err = ses.Prep("SELECT C1 FROM T1")
rset, err := stmt.Qry()
for rset.Next() {
fmt.Println(rset.Row[0])
}
Ses.PrepAndExe, Ses.PrepAndQry, Ses.Ins, Ses.Upd, and Ses.Sel are convenient
one-line methods.
Ses.PrepAndExe offers a convenient one-line call to Ses.Prep and Stmt.Exe.
rowsAffected, err := ses.PrepAndExe("CREATE TABLE T1 (C1 NUMBER)")
Ses.PrepAndQry offers a convenient one-line call to Ses.Prep and Stmt.Qry.
rset, err := ses.PrepAndQry("SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP FROM DUAL")
Ses.Ins composes, prepares and executes a sql INSERT statement. Ses.Ins is
useful when you have to create and maintain a simple INSERT statement with a
long list of columns. As table columns are added and dropped over the lifetime
of a table Ses.Ins is easy to read and revise.
err = ses.Ins("T1",
"C2", e.C2,
"C3", e.C3,
"C4", e.C4,
"C5", e.C5,
"C6", e.C6,
"C7", e.C7,
"C8", e.C8,
"C9", e.C9,
"C10", e.C10,
"C11", e.C11,
"C12", e.C12,
"C13", e.C13,
"C14", e.C14,
"C15", e.C15,
"C16", e.C16,
"C17", e.C17,
"C18", e.C18,
"C19", e.C19,
"C20", e.C20,
"C21", e.C21,
"C1", &e.C1)
Ses.Upd composes, prepares and executes a sql UPDATE statement. Ses.Upd is
useful when you have to create and maintain a simple UPDATE statement with a
long list of columns. As table columns are added and dropped over the lifetime
of a table Ses.Upd is easy to read and revise.
err = ses.Upd("T1",
"C2", e.C2*2,
"C3", e.C3*2,
"C4", e.C4*2,
"C5", e.C5*2,
"C6", e.C6*2,
"C7", e.C7*2,
"C8", e.C8*2,
"C9", e.C9*2,
"C10", e.C10*2,
"C11", e.C11*2,
"C12", e.C12*2,
"C13", e.C13*2,
"C14", e.C14*2,
"C15", e.C15*2,
"C16", e.C16*2,
"C17", e.C17*2,
"C18", e.C18*2,
"C19", e.C19*2,
"C20", e.C20*2,
"C21", e.C21*2,
"C1", e.C1)
Ses.Sel composes, prepares and queries a sql SELECT statement. Ses.Sel is useful
when you have to create and maintain a simple SELECT statement with a long list
of columns that have non-default GoColumnTypes. As table columns are added and
dropped over the lifetime of a table Ses.Sel is easy to read and revise.
rset, err := ses.Sel("T1",
"C1", ora.U64,
"C2", ora.F64,
"C3", ora.I8,
"C4", ora.I16,
"C5", ora.I32,
"C6", ora.I64,
"C7", ora.U8,
"C8", ora.U16,
"C9", ora.U32,
"C10", ora.U64,
"C11", ora.F32,
"C12", ora.F64,
"C13", ora.I8,
"C14", ora.I16,
"C15", ora.I32,
"C16", ora.I64,
"C17", ora.U8,
"C18", ora.U16,
"C19", ora.U32,
"C20", ora.U64,
"C21", ora.F32)
The Ses.Ping method checks whether the client's connection to an Oracle server
is valid. A call to Ping requires an open Ses. Ping will return a nil error when
the connection is fine:
// open a session before calling Ping
ses, _ := srv.OpenSes("username", "password")
err := ses.Ping()
if err == nil {
fmt.Println("Ping successful")
}
The Srv.Version method is available to obtain the Oracle server version. A call
to Version requires an open Ses:
// open a session before calling Version
ses, err := srv.OpenSes("username", "password")
version, err := srv.Version()
if version != "" && err == nil {
fmt.Println("Received version from server")
}
Further code examples are available in the example
file, test files and
samples folder.
Logging
The ora package provides a simple ora.Logger interface for logging. Logging is
disabled by default. Specify one of three optional built-in logging packages to
enable logging; or, use your own logging package.
ora.Cfg().Log offers various options to enable or disable logging of specific
ora driver methods. For example:
// enable logging of the Rset.Next method
ora.Cfg().Log.Rset.Next = true
To use the standard Go log package:
import (
"gopkg.in/rana/ora.v4"
"gopkg.in/rana/ora.v4/lg"
)
func main() {
// use an optional log package for ora logging
ora.Cfg().Log.Logger = lg.Log
}
which produces a sample log of:
ORA I 2015/05/23 16:54:44.615462 drv.go:411: OpenEnv 1
ORA I 2015/05/23 16:54:44.626443 drv.go:411: OpenEnv 2

ORA I 2015/05/23 16:54:44.666451 rset.go:205: E2S1S1S1R0] open
ORA I 2015/05/23 16:54:44.666451 ses.go:74: E2S1S1] Close
ORA I 2015/05/23 16:54:44.666451 stmt.go:78: E2S1S1S1] Close
ORA I 2015/05/23 16:54:44.666451 rset.go:57: E2S1S1S1R0] close
ORA I 2015/05/23 16:54:44.666451 srv.go:63: E2S1] Close
ORA I 2015/05/23 16:54:44.667451 env.go:68: E2] Close
Messages are prefixed with 'ORA I' for information or 'ORA E' for an error. The
log package is configured to write to os.Stderr by default. Use the ora/lg.Std
type to configure an alternative io.Writer.
To use the glog package:
import (
"flag"
"gopkg.in/rana/ora.v4"
"gopkg.in/rana/ora.v4/glg"
)
func main() {
// parse flags for glog (required)
// consider specifying cmd line arg -alsologtostderr=true
flag.Parse()
// use the optional glog package for ora logging
cfg := ora.Cfg()
cfg.Log.Logger = glg.Log
ora.SetCfg(cfg)
}
which produces a sample log of:
I0523 17:31:41.702365 97708 drv.go:411] OpenEnv 1
I0523 17:31:41.728377 97708 drv.go:411] OpenEnv 2

I0523 17:31:41.763365 97708 env.go:68] E2] Close
To use the log15 package:
import (
"gopkg.in/rana/ora.v4"
"gopkg.in/rana/ora.v4/lg15"
)
func main() {
// use the optional log15 package for ora logging
cfg := ora.Cfg()
cfg.Log.Logger = lg15.Log
ora.SetCfg(cfg)
}
which produces a sample log of:

which uses the log15 package.
Test Database Setup
Tests are available and require some setup. Setup varies depending on whether
the Oracle server is configured as a container database or non-container
database. It's simpler to setup a non-container database. An example for each
setup is explained.
Non-container test database setup steps:
// 1. login to an Oracle server with SqlPlus as sysdba:
SQLPLUS / AS SYSDBA
// 2. create a file for the test database use
CREATE TABLESPACE test_ts NOLOGGING DATAFILE 'test.dat' SIZE 100M AUTOEXTEND ON;
// 3. create a test database
CREATE USER test IDENTIFIED BY test DEFAULT TABLESPACE test_ts;
// 4. grant permissions to the database
GRANT CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE, CREATE SEQUENCE,
CREATE PROCEDURE, UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO test;
// 5. increase the number allowable open cursors
ALTER SYSTEM SET OPEN_CURSORS = 400 SCOPE=BOTH;
// 6. create OS environment variables
// specify your_database_name; varies based on installation; may be 'orcl'
GO_ORA_DRV_TEST_DB = your_database_name
GO_ORA_DRV_TEST_USERNAME = test
GO_ORA_DRV_TEST_PASSWORD = test
Container test database setup steps:
// 1. login to an Oracle server with SqlPlus as sysdba:
SQLPLUS / AS SYSDBA
// 2. create a test pluggable database and permissions
// you will need to change the FILE_NAME_CONVERT file paths for your database installation
CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE go_driver_test
ADMIN USER test IDENTIFIED BY test
ROLES = (DBA)
FILE_NAME_CONVERT = ('d:\oracle\data\orcl\pdbseed\', 'd:\oracle\data\go_driver_test\');
// 3. modify the pluggable database settings
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE go_driver_test OPEN;
ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER = go_driver_test;
GRANT DBA TO test;
// 4. add new database service to the tnsnames.ora file:
// located on your client machine in $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
GO_DRIVER_TEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = go_driver_test)
)
)
// 5. create OS environment variables
GO_ORA_DRIVER_TEST_DB = go_driver_test
GO_ORA_DRIVER_TEST_USERNAME = test
GO_ORA_DRIVER_TEST_PASSWORD = test
Some helpful SQL maintenance statements:
// delete all tables in a non-container database
BEGIN
FOR c IN (SELECT table_name FROM user_tables) LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('DROP TABLE "' || c.table_name || '" CASCADE CONSTRAINTS');
END LOOP;
END;
// delete the non-container test database; use SqlPlus as sysdba
DROP USER test CASCADE;
Run the tests.
Limitations
database/sql method Stmt.QueryRow is not supported.
Go 1.6 introduced stricter cgo (call C from Go) rules, and introduced runtime
checks. This is good, as the possibility of C code corrupting Go code is almost
completely eliminated, but it also means a severe call overhead grow.
Sometimes
this can be 22x the go 1.5.3 call time!
So if you need performance more than correctness, start your programs with
"GODEBUG=cgocheck=0" environment setting.
