schema

schema is a Go package providing access to database schema metadata, for database/sql drivers.

TODO more docs

Currently supporting the following database engines / SQL dialects:

• Microsoft SQL Server
• MySQL
• Oracle
• Postgres
• Snowflake
• SQLite

For a list of supported drivers, and their capabilities with regards to sql.ColumnType support, see drivercaps

Installation

go get github.com/jimsmart/schema

import "github.com/jimsmart/schema"

Dependencies

• A supported database driver.
• Standard library.
• Ginkgo and Gomega are used in the tests.
• Tests also require Docker Compose to be installed.

Example

See GoDocs for usage examples.

GoDocs https://godoc.org/github.com/jimsmart/schema

Testing

Database services for testing against are hosted in Docker.

To bring up the database services: execute docker-compose up inside the project folder, and wait until all of the Docker services have completed their startup (i.e. there is no further output in the terminal), then open a second terminal. (In future one may choose to use docker-compose up -d instead)

To run the tests execute go test inside the project folder.

For a full coverage report, try:

go test -coverprofile=coverage.out && go tool cover -html=coverage.out

To shutdown the Docker services, execute docker-compose down -v inside the project folder.

Oracle Setup Checklist

Build Docker Image

Build a Docker image for Oracle, by executing script:

./build_oracle_docker_image.sh

Once the script has successfully completed, you are free to delete the folder used when creating the image:

rm -rf ./test/docker-oracle

Increase Docker's RAM limits

By default, Docker allocates 2gb RAM to each container. To prevent out-of-memory errors when running Oracle, increase Docker's RAM limits:

Docker -> Preferences -> Resources -> Advanced -> Memory, change to 4gb, click Apply & Restart.

Install Oracle Instant Client

Oracle database/sql drivers require dynamic libraries that are part of the Oracle Instant Client installation.

Mac

brew tap InstantClientTap/instantclient
brew install instantclient-basic
