README.md

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

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

PGHOST=/run/postgresql go test -bench .

Features

SSL
Handles bad connections for database/sql
Scan time.Time correctly (i.e. timestamp[tz], time[tz], date)
Scan binary blobs correctly (i.e. bytea)
Package for hstore support
COPY FROM support
pq.ParseURL for converting urls to connection strings for sql.Open.
Many libpq compatible environment variables
Unix socket support
Notifications: LISTEN/NOTIFY
pgpass support

Future / Things you can help with

Better COPY FROM / COPY TO (see discussion in #181)
