# Introduction
Examples of using various popular database libraries and ORM in Go.

- [squirrel](https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel)

The aim is to demonstrate and compare usage for several operations
1. Simple CRUD operation
2. 1-to-Many queries
3. Many-to-many queries
4. Dynamic list filter from query parameter
5. Transaction
6. SQL Injection
# Schema
There are four tables. The `users` table and `addresses` table are linked by the pivot `user_addresses` table. The `addresses` table contains a foreign key to `countries` to demonstrate 1-to-many relationship.
To make things interesting, we make `middle_name` an optional field. We also have a 'protected/hidden' field in which we do not want to return in a JSON response, like a password.
# Usage
## Setup
Setup postgres database by either running from docker-compose or manually.
docker-compose up
This creates both `postgres` database (which this repo uses) and `ent` database which is used by ent ORM.
If you create the database manually, execute the `database/01-postgres-schema.sql` script.
Default database credentials are defined in `config/config.go`. These can be overwritten by setting environment variables. For example:
export DB_NAME=test_db
## Run
Run with
go run main.go
Run examples from `example` folder.
