PostgreSQL client and ORM for Golang

Features:

• Basic types: integers, floats, string, bool, time.Time, net.IP, net.IPNet.
• sql.NullBool, sql.NullString, sql.NullInt64, sql.NullFloat64 and pg.NullTime.
• sql.Scanner and sql/driver.Valuer interfaces.
• Structs, maps and arrays are marshalled as JSON by default.
• PostgreSQL multidimensional Arrays using array tag and Array wrapper.
• Hstore using hstore tag and Hstore wrapper.
• Composite types.
• All struct fields are nullable by default and zero values (empty string, 0, zero time, empty map or slice) are marshalled as SQL NULL. sql:",notnull" tag is used to reverse this behaviour.
• Transactions.
• Prepared statements.
• Notifications using LISTEN and NOTIFY.
• Copying data using COPY FROM and COPY TO.
• Timeouts.
• Automatic connection pooling with circuit breaker support.
• Queries retries on network errors.
• Working with models using ORM and SQL.
• Scanning variables using ORM and SQL.
• SelectOrInsert using on-conflict.
• INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE using ORM.
• Bulk/batch inserts, updates, and deletes.
• Common table expressions using WITH and WrapWith.
• CountEstimate using EXPLAIN to get estimated number of matching rows.
• ORM supports has one, belongs to, has many, and many to many with composite/multi-column primary keys.
• Soft deletes.
• Creating tables from structs.
• Pagination and URL filters helpers.
• ForEach that calls a function for each row returned by the query without loading all rows into the memory.
• Works with PgBouncer in transaction pooling mode.
• Migrations.
• Sharding.
