Question 1

How do I generate Go code from my MySQL database with sqlingo?

Accepted Answer

Install sqlingo-gen-mysql via go install, then run it with your database connection string and redirect output to a .go file, as shown in the tutorial. This creates DSL objects based on your schema.

Question 2

sqlingo vs GORM: which is better for type safety in Go?

Accepted Answer

sqlingo excels in type safety by generating code from the database for compile-time checks, while GORM relies more on runtime reflection. However, GORM has a larger ecosystem and broader database support.

Question 3

Can I use sqlingo with PostgreSQL for a production app?

Accepted Answer

PostgreSQL support is experimental, so it's not recommended for production. Stick to MySQL for stability or consider alternatives if PostgreSQL is essential for your project.

Question 4

How to handle complex joins and subqueries in sqlingo?

Accepted Answer

Use the From() method with multiple tables and Where() clauses for joins, and nest Select() queries for subqueries, as demonstrated in the tutorial examples for multi-table queries.

Question 5

Does sqlingo support database migrations?

Accepted Answer

No, sqlingo focuses on query building and model generation, not migrations. You'll need separate tools like goose or migrate for schema changes.

Question 6

How to log SQL queries executed by sqlingo?

Accepted Answer

Use the interceptor support to implement custom interceptors for logging. Override execution methods to capture and log queries before they run, as mentioned in the features.
