go-ora

Pure go oracle client

note:

the original oracle drivers are very complex and contain many features which are difficult to add them at one time
your feedbacks are very important for this project to proceed
    - To use version 2 you should import github.com/sijms/go-ora/v2
    - V2 is more preferred for oracle servers 10.2 and above
    - I always update the driver fixing issues and add new features so
      always ensure that you get latest release
    - See examples for more help

How To Use

Connect to Database

  • Simple Connection

    this connection require server name or IP, port, service name, username and password
    • using database/sql
    port := 1521
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("server", port, "service_name", "username", "password", nil)
conn, err := sql.Open("oracle", connStr)
// check for error
err = conn.Ping()
// check for error
    • using package directly
    port := 1521
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("server", port, "service_name", "username", "password", nil)
conn, err := go_ora.NewConnection(connStr)
// check for error
err = conn.Open()
// check for error

  • Connect using SID

here we should pass urlOptions note that service name is empty

port := 1521
urlOptions := map[string]string {
  "SID": "SID_VALUE",
}
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("server", port, "", "username", "password", urlOptions)
conn, err := sql.Open("oracle", connStr)
// check for error

  • Connect using JDBC string

either pass a urlOption connStr with JDBC string server, port and service name will be collected from JDBC string

urlOptions := map[string]string {
  "connStr": "JDBC string",
}
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("", 0, "", "username", "password", urlOptions)
conn, err := sql.Open("oracle", connStr)
// check for error

or use go_ora.BuildJDBC

urlOptions := map[string] string {
	// other options
}
connStr := go_ora.BuildJDBC("username", "password", "JDBC string", urlOptions)
conn, err := sql.Open("oracle", connStr)
// check for error

  • SSL Connection

to use ssl connection you should pass required url options.

port := 2484
urlOptions := map[string] string {
	"ssl": "true", // or enable
	"ssl verify": "false", // stop ssl certificate verification
	"wallet": "path to folder that contains oracle wallet",
}
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("server", port, "service_name", "username", "password", urlOptions)

  • OS Auth (for windows)

connect to oracle using OS user instead of oracle user username and password parameters passed empty to BuildUrl see examples/windows_os_auth for more help

urlOptions := map[string]string {
    // optional as it will be automatically set 
	// if you pass an empty oracle user or password
    "AUTH TYPE": "OS",
    // operating system user if empty the driver will use logon user name
    "OS USER": user,
    // operating system password needed for os logon
    "OS PASS": password,
    // Windows system domain name
    "DOMAIN": domain,
	// optional as it will be automatically set 
	// when you define AUTH TYPE=OS in windows
    "AUTH SERV": "NTS",
}
port := 1521
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("server", port, "service_name", "", "", urlOptions)

  • Proxy Auth

    if you need to connect with proxy user pass following connection string

    oracle://proxy_user:proxy_password@host:port/service?proxy client name=schema_owner

  • Client Auth

    you should have server and client certificate store in wallets + working TCPS communication

    create oracle user as follows:

    CREATE USER "SSLCLIENT" IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY AS 'CN=ORCLCLIENT';

    configure sqlnet.ora in the server to use client authentication

    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(TCPS,NTS)
SSL_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION=TRUE

    connect

    urlOptions := map[string]string {
"TRACE FILE": "trace.log",
"AUTH TYPE":  "TCPS",
"SSL": "enable",
"SSL VERIFY": "FALSE",
"WALLET": "PATH TO WALLET"
}
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("server", 2484, "service", "", "", urlOptions)

  • KERBEROS5 Auth

    note that kerberos need an intact dns system and 3 separate machines to test it

  • kerberos server you can use this link to install on ubuntu

  • oracle server you can configure it from this link

  • client which contain our gocode using package gokrb5

  • Complete code found in examples/kerberos

    urlOptions := map[string]string{
    "AUTH TYPE":  "KERBEROS",
}
// note empty password
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("server", 1521, "service", "krb_user", "", urlOptions)

type KerberosAuth struct{}
func (kerb KerberosAuth) Authenticate(server, service string) ([]byte, error) {
    // see implementation in examples/kerberos
}
advanced_nego.SetKerberosAuth(&KerberosAuth{})

before run the code you should run command kinit user

Other Connection Options

  • Define more servers to Connect

urlOptions := map[string]string {
	"server": "server2,server3",
}
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("server1", 1251, "service", "username", "password", urlOptions)
/* now the driver will try to connect as follows
1- server1
2- server2
3- server3
*/

  • Client Encryption

this option give the client control weather to use encryption or not

urlOptions := map[string]string {
	// values can be "required", "accepted", "requested", and rejected"
	"encryption": "required",
}

  • Client Data Integrity

this option give the client control weather to user data integrity or not

urlOptions := map[string]string {
    // values can be "required", "accepted", "requested", and rejected"
    "data integrity": "rejected",
}

  • Using Unix Socket

you can use this option if server and client on same linux machine by specify the following url option

urlOptions := map[string]string{
	// change the value according to your machine 
	"unix socket": "/usr/tmp/.oracle/sEXTPROC1",
}

  • Using Timeout

    • activate global timeout value (default=120 sec) to protect against block read/write if no timeout context specified
    • timeout value should be numeric string which represent number of seconds that should pass before operation finish or canceled by the driver
    • to disable this option pass 0 value start from v2.7.15
urlOptions := map[string]string {
	"TIMEOUT": "60",
}

  • Using Proxy user

urlOptions := map[string]string {
	"proxy client name": "schema_owner",
}
connStr := go_ora.BuildUrl("server", 1521, "service", "proxy_user", "proxy_password", urlOptions)

  • Define DBA Privilege

    • define dba privilege of the connection
    • default value is NONE
    • using user sys automatically set its value to SYSDBA
urlOptions := map[string]string {
	"dba privilege" : "sysdba", // other values "SYSOPER"
}

  • Define Lob Fetching Mode

    • this option define how lob data will be loaded
    • default value is pre or inline means lob data is send inline with other values
    • other value is post or stream means lob data will be loaded after finish loading other value through a separate network call
urlOptions := map[string]string {
	"lob fetch": "stream",
}

  • Define Client Charset

    • this option will allow controlling string encoding and decoding at client level
    • so using this option you can define a charset for the client that is different from the server
    • client charset will work in the following situation
      • encoding sql text
      • decoding varchar column
      • encoding and decoding varchar parameters
      • encoding and decoding CLOB
    • nvarchar, nclob and server messages are excluded from client charset
urlOptions := map[string]string {
    // you can use also 
    //"charset": "UTF8",
    "client charset": "UTF8",
}

  • Define Client Territory and Language

    • this will control the language of the server messages
urlOptions := map[string]string {
    "language": "PORTUGUESE",
    "territory": "BRAZILIAN",
}

  • Loging

this option used for logging driver work and network data for debugging purpose

urlOptions := map[string]string {
	"trace file": "trace.log",
}

This produce this kind of log:

  • CID

use this option if you want to pass your own CID started from v2.7.15

default CID

FulCid := "(CID=(PROGRAM=" + op.ProgramPath + ")(HOST=" + op.HostName + ")(USER=" + op.UserName + "))"

Execute SQL

  • simple query

execute a query follows standards that defined in go package database/sql you have Query used for query rows and Exec used for DML/DDL and PL/SQL

Exec example

// note no semicolon at the end
_, err := conn.Exec(`CREATE TABLE TABLE1(
ID number(10),
NAME varchar2(50),
DAT DATE
)`)
// check for errors

query example:

rows, err := conn.Query("SELECT ID, NAME, DAT FROM TABLE1")
// check for errors
defer rows.Close()
var (
	id int64
	name sql.NullString
	date sql.NullTime
)
for rows.Next() {
	err = rows.Scan(&id, &name, &date)
	// check for errors
}

PL/SQL

// note semicolon at the end
_, err := conn.Exec("begin DBMS_LOCK.sleep(7); end;")
// check for errors

complete example found in examples/crud

  • input parameters

    • parameters in oracle should start with : for example :pr1

passing input parameters as defined by database/sql package.

parameter type

  • int64 / float64 and their equivalent
  • string
  • time.Time
  • any type that support Valuer interface
  • NVarChar
  • TimeStamp
  • TimeStampTZ
  • sql.Null* and go_ora.Null* for all the above
  • Clob, NClob and Blob

  • output parameters

    • passing parameter to Exec to return a value.
    • output parameter should be passed as pointers.
    • all output parameter should be passed inside go_ora.Out or sql.Out structures
    • output parameters like strings should be passed in go_ora.Out to define max size.
var(
	id int64
	name sql.NullString
	date sql.NullTime
)
_, err := conn.Exec("SELECT ID, NAME, DAT INTO :pr1, :pr2, :pr3 FROM TABLE1 WHERE ID=:pr4",
	sql.Out{Dest: &id},
	go_ora.Out{Dest: &name, Size: 100},
	go_ora.Out{Dest: &date},
	1)

  • Lob Types

    • Blob, Clob and NClob
    • Clob use database charset and NClob use database ncharset for string encoding and decoding
    • complete code is found in examples/clob

input parameters

var1 := go_ora.Clob{String: "large string value"}
var2 := go_ora.Blob{Data: []byte("large []byte value")}
_, err := conn.Exec("insert into tb values(:1, :2)", var1, var2)

output parameters

var {
	var1 go_ora.NClob
	var2 go_ora.Blob
}
// set size according to size of your data
_, err := conn.Exec("BEGIN SELECT col1, col2 into :1, :2 FROM tb; END;",
	go_ora.Out{Dest: &var1, size: 100000},
	go_ora.Out{Dest: &var2, size: 300000})

  • BFile (v2.7.23)

    • BFile require oracle directory object name + file name
    • create new BFile object by calling CreateBFile, CreateBFile2 or CreateNullBFile
    • CreateBFile create BFile using *sql.DB while CreateBFile2 take *go_ora.Connection
    • to create null BFile call CreateNullBFile or create object with valid=false
    • you can read BFile value from database either by Query or Exec (output par) using *BFile object
    • You can use object functions after creation or read from database, but you should test for null first
    • BFile functions:
      • Open: will open the file (file object returned from database unopened)
      • Exists: check if the file exists
      • GetLength: return file length
      • Read: read entire file content
      • ReadFromPos: start read from specific position till end of the file
      • ReadBytesFromPos: read portion of the file
      • Close: close file
      • IsOpen: check if the file opened
      • GetDirName: return directory object name
      • GetFileName: return file name
    • complete code for BFile found in examples/bfile

  • Named Parameters

    • to use named parameters just wrap all you parameters inside sql.Named
    • if one of the parameters doesn't have name driver will switch to positional mode
    • parameter named :pr1 in sql should be passed as sql.Named("pr1", 1)
    • Named parameter is useful if you have one value passed in sql multiple times.
    • order is not important
    • complete code for named parameters found in examples/named_pars

  • structures with tag

you can pass a structure parameter to sql in one of the following situation

  • structure that implement Valuer interface
  • oracle user defined type UDT
  • struct with tag db

data in db tag can be recognized by its position or as key=value

type TEMP_TABLE struct {
  // tag by position: db:"name,type,size,direction"
  Id int  `db: "ID,number"`

  Name string `db:"type=varchar,name=NAME"`
}

struct with tag uses named parameters so you should pass at least the name of the parameter to use this feature.

Type is important in some situations for example if you have field with type time.Time and you want to pass timestamp to database so put type=timestamp

type can be one of the following

number      mapped to golang types integer, float, string, bool
varchar     mapped to any golang types that can converted to string
nvarchar    mapped to any golang types that can converted to string
date        mapped to golang types time.Time and string
timestamp   mapped to golang types time.Time and string
timestamptz mapped to golang types time.Time and string
raw         mapped to golang types []byte and string
blob        mapped to golang types []byte and string
clob        mapped to any golang types that can converted to string
nclob       mapped to any golang types that can converted to string

size and direction are required if the fields mapped to an output parameter

complete code can be found in examples/struct_par

  • Arrays

passing array as a parameter is useful in the following situations

Bulk insert/merge will be activated when you passing all parameters as arrays of same size.

you can also pass an array of tagged structure to do same thing. complete code for bulk-insert/merge can be found in examples/merge

  • Oracle Objects (user defined types)

  • Created inside oracle using create type
  • objects are mapped to golang struct type defined with tag udt followed by field name.
 type Customer struct {
   ID int `udt:"ID"`
   Name string `udt:"NAME"`
}
  • each object should register with go_ora.RegisterType or go_ora.RegisterTypeWithOwner passing typeName, arrayTypeName (for that type or empty) and empty instance of struct
  • driver support nested type start from (v2.8.5)
  • for array of regular type (v2.8.7) pass regular type name, arrayTypeName and nil for object instance
  • regular type supported
    • number
    • varchar2
    • nvarchar2
    • date
    • timestamp
    • timestamp with local time zone
    • RAW
    • BLOB
    • CLOB
    • NCLOB
  • to pass oracle object as a parameter efficiently use go_ora.Object{Owner: owner, Name: name, Value: val}
  • regular type array should be passed wrapped inside go_ora.Object otherwise it will be interpreted as associative array
  • complete code is found in

  • RefCursor

as an output parameter

  var cursor go_ora.RefCursor
  _, err = conn.Exec(`BEGIN PROC1(:1, :2); END;`, 1, sql.Out{Dest: &cursor})

you can use go_ora.WrapRefCursor(...) to convert *RefCursor into *sql.Rows started from v2.7.17

complete code for RefCursor as output parameter found in examples/refcursor

Map RefCursor to sql.Rows

// TEMP_FUNC_316 is sql function that return RefCursor
sqlText := `SELECT TEMP_FUNC_316(10) from dual`

// use Query and don't use QueryRow
rows, err := conn.Query(sqlText)
if err != nil {
	return err
}

// closing the parent rows will automatically close cursor
defer rows.Close()

for rows.Next() {
    var cursor sql.Rows
	err = rows.Scan(&cursor)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	var (
        id   int64
        name string
        val  float64
        date time.Time
    )
	
    // reading operation should be inside rows.Next
    for cursor.Next() {
        err = cursor.Scan(&id, &name, &val, &date)
        if err != nil {
            return err
        }
        fmt.Println("ID: ", id, "\tName: ", name, "\tval: ", val, "\tDate: ", date)
    }
}

complete code for mapping refcursor to sql.Rows is found in example/refcursor_to_rows

  • Connect to multiple database

    • note that sql.Open(...) will use default driver so it will be suitable for one database projects.
    • to use multiple database you should create a separate driver for each one (don't use default driver)
  // Get a driver-specific connector.   
  connector, err := go_ora.NewConnector(connStr)
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }

  // Get a database handle.
  db = sql.OpenDB(connector)

  • use custom configurations for connection

    • another way to set connection configuration instead of using connection string (DSN)
    • use as follow
    config, err := go_ora.ParseConfig(DSN)
    // modify config structure 
	go_ora.RegisterConnConfig(config)
    // now open db note empty DSN
	db, err := sql.Open("oracle", "")

  • Use Custom String encode/decode

    • if your database charset is not supported you can create a custom object that implement IStringConverter interface and pass it to the driver as follows
  db, err := sql.Open("oracle", connStr)
  if err != nil {
	  // error handling
  }
  
  // call SetStringConverter before use db object
  // charset and nCharset are custom object that implement 
  // IStringConverter interface
  // if you pass nil for any of them then the driver will use 
  // default StringConverter
  go_ora.SetStringConverter(db, charset, nCharset)
  
  // rest of your code

  • Session Parameters

    • you can update session parameter after connection as follow
    db, err := sql.Open("oracle", connStr)
if err != nil {
  // error handling
}
// pass database, key, value
err = go_ora.AddSessionParameter(db, "nls_language", "english")
if err != nil {
  // error handling
}

	// tag as key=value: db:"size=size,name=name,dir=directiontype=type"
	Name  string   `db:"type=varchar,name=NAME"`
}
  • you should pass at least the name of the parameter to use this feature
  • input parameters need only name and type. if you omit type driver will use field value directly as input parameter. type is used to make some flexibility example use time.Time field and pass type=timestamp in this case timestamp will be used instead of default value for time.Time which is date
  • type can be one of the following:
number      mapped to golang types integer, float, string, bool
varchar     mapped to any golang types that can converted to string
nvarchar    mapped to any golang types that can converted to string

    }
}
  • complete code is present in examples/refcursor_to_rows/main.go

version 2.6.14: Add Support for Named Parameters

  • to switch on named parameter mode simply pass all your parameter to Query or Exec as sql.Named("name", Value)
  • if one of the parameter doesn't contain name the driver automatically switch to positional mode
  • parameter name in sql will be for example :pr1 and its value will be sql.Named("pr1", 1)
  • when using named parameters the order of the parameters is not important as the driver will re-arrange the parameter according to declaration in sql text
  • See examples/named_pars/main.go for example code

version 2.6.12: Add Client Charset option

  • this option will allow controlling string encoding and decoding at client level

  • for large data size better use lob fetch=post

version 2.6.5: Add New Url Options (Language and Territory)

  • this will control the language of the server messages
urlOptions := map[string]string {
"language": "PORTUGUESE",
"territory": "BRAZILIAN",
}
url := go_ora.BuildUrl(server, port, service, user, password, urlOptions)

version 2.6.4: Add Support for TimeStamp with timezone

  • now you can use TimeStampTZ as input/output parameters to manage timestamp with timezone
  • see code in examples/timestamp_tz

version 2.6.2: Add Support for Lob Prefetch

  • now you can control how you need to get lob data
    • pre-fetch (default) = lob data is sent from the server before send lob locator
    • post-fetch = lob data is sent from the server after send lob locator (need network call)
  • you can do this using url options
urlOptions := map[string]string {
  "TRACE FILE": "trace.log",
  "LOB FETCH": "PRE", // other value "POST"
}

  • failover will activated when stmt receive io.EOF error during read or write
  • FAILOVER work in 3 places:
    • Query when fail the driver will reconnect and re-query up to failover number.
    • Exec when fail the driver will reconnect up to failover times then return the error to avoid unintended re-execution.
    • Fetch when fail the driver will reconnect up to failover times then return the error (whatever failover success or fail)

    data, err = file.ReadFromPos(2)
    
    // read 5 bytes count start at position 2
    data, err = file.ReadBytesFromPos(2, 5)
  • you can pass BFile object as input parameter or receive it from query or output parameters for more detail see example bfile

version 2.4.4: Support for unix socket IPC

  • add support for nullable type in DataSet.Scan function
  • Bug fixes
  • examples (bulk_insert and arrays) contain explanation of use of this 2 major features
// sqlText: sql text with parameters
// rowNum: number of rows to insert
// columns: each column contain array of driver.Value size of column should
//          equal to rowNum
func (conn *Connection) BulkInsert(sqlText string, rowNum int, columns ...[]driver.Value) (*QueryResult, error)

version 2.3.5: Add support for OS Auth (Windows) With Password Hash

now you can pass password hash of the user instead of real password

source of hash:

  • windows registry
  • create the hash by md4(unicode(password)) passing hash through url option as follow
urlOptions := map[string]string {
	"OS HASH": "yourpasswordhash"
	// or
	"OS PassHash": "yourpasswordhash"
	// or
	"OS Password Hash": "yourpasswordhash"
}

note:

you can use NTSAuthInterface

type YourCustomNTSManager struct {
	NTSAuthDefault
}
func (nts *NTSAuthHash) ProcessChallenge(chaMsgData []byte, user, password string) ([]byte, error) {
    // password = get (extract) password hash from Windows registry
	return ntlmssp.ProcessChallengeWithHash(chaMsgData, user, password)
}
// now you can pass empty user and password to the driver

version 2.3.3: Add support for OS Auth (Windows)

you can see windows_os_auth example for more detail

  • NTS packets are supplied from the following github package: go-ntlmssp
  • empty username or password will suppose OS Auth by default
  • AUTH TYPE: "OS" optional
  • OS USER optional if omit the client will use logon user
  • OS PASS is obligatory to make OS Auth using NTS
  • DOMAIN optional for windows domain
  • AUTH SERV: "NTS" optional as NTS is automatically added if the client running on Windows machine
  • DBA PRIVILEGE: "SYSDBA" optional if you need a SYSDBA access
urlOptions := map[string]string{
    // automatically set if you pass an empty oracle user or password
    // otherwise you need to set it
    "AUTH TYPE": "OS",
    // operating system user if empty the driver will use logon user name
    "OS USER": user,
    // operating system password needed for os logon
     "OS PASS": password,
    // Windows system domain name
    "DOMAIN": domain,
    // NTS is the required for Windows os authentication
    // when you run the program from Windows machine it will be added automatically
    // otherwise you need to specify it
    "AUTH SERV": "NTS",
    // uncomment this option for debugging
    "TRACE FILE": "trace.log",
}
databaseUrl := go_ora.BuildUrl(server, port, service, "", "", urlOptions)

note (Remote OS Auth):

  • you can make OS Auth on the same machine (Windows Server) or different machine (Windows Server) and (Other Client) and in this situation you need to pass AUTH SERV: "NTS" as url parameter

note (advanced users):

  • You can use custom NTS auth manager by implementing the following interface
type NTSAuthInterface interface {
	NewNegotiateMessage(domain, machine string) ([]byte, error)
	ProcessChallenge(chaMsgData []byte, user, password string) ([]byte, error)
}
  • set newNTS auth manager before open the connection
go_ora.SetNTSAuth(newNTSManager)
  • advantage of custom manager: you may not need to provide OS Password. for example using .NET or Windows API code as original driver
// CustomStream will take data from NegotiateStream and give it to the driver
// through NewNegotiateMessage
// Then take data form the driver (Challenge Message) to NegotiateStream
// And return back Authentication msg to the driver through ProcessChallenge
// as you see here CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials will take auth data
// (username and password) from logon user
new NegotiateStream(new YourCustomStream(), true).AuthenticateAsClient(CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials, "", ProtectionLevel.None, TokenImpersonationLevel.Identification);

version 2.3.1: Fix issue related to use ipv6

now you can define url that contain ipv6

url := go_ora.BuildUrl("::1", 1521, "service", "user", "password", nil)
url = "oracle://user:password@[::1]:1521/service"

version 2.3.0: Add support for Nullable types

  • support for nullable type in output parameters
  • add more nullable type NullTimeStamp and NullNVarChar

version 2.2.25: Add support for User Defined Type (UDT) as input and output parameter

  • see example udt_pars for more help

version 2.2.23: User Defined Type (UDT) as input parameters

  • Add support for UDT as input parameter
  • Add go_ora.Out struct with Size member to set output parameter size

version 2.2.22: Lob for output parameters

  • Add new types for output parameter which is go_ora.Clob and go_ora.Blob used for receiving Clob and Blob from output parameters see clob example for more details
  • Fix some issue related to reading output parameters
  • Fix issue related to reading user defined type UDT

version 2.2.19: improve lob reading with high prefetch rows value

  • Now Prefetch rows value is automatically calculated (when left with its default value = 25) according to column size
  • Reading lob is retarded until all record has been read this fix error happen when you try to read lob with large PREFETCH_ROWS value

version 2.2.9: add support for connect to multiple servers

define multiple server in 2 way

  • in url string options
// using url options
databaseURL := "oracle://user:pass@server1/service?server=server2&server=server3"
/* now the driver will try connection as follow
1- server1
2- server2
3- server3
*/
  • using BuildUrl function
urlOptions := map[string] string {
    "TRACE FILE": "trace.log",
    "SERVER": "server2, server3",
    "PREFETCH_ROWS": "500",
    //"SSL": "enable",
    //"SSL Verify": "false",
}
databaseURL := go_ora.BuildUrl(server1, 1521, "service", "user", "pass", urlOptions)

version 2.2.8: add OracleError class

OracleError carry error message from the server

version 2.2.7: Add support for user defined types

  • this feature is now tested against these oracle versions 10.2, 12.2, 19.3.
  • RegisterType function need extra parameter owner (oracle user who create the type).

version 2.2.6 (pre-release - experimental): Add support for user defined types

to use make the following (oracle 12c)

  • define custom type in the oracle
create or replace TYPE TEST_TYPE1 IS OBJECT 
( 
    TEST_ID NUMBER(6, 0),
    TEST_NAME VARCHAR2(10)
)
  • define struct in go with tag
type test1 struct {
    // note use int64 not int
    // all tagged fields should be exported 
    // tag name:field_name --> case insensitive
    Id int64       `oracle:"name:test_id"`
    Name string    `oracle:"name:test_name"`
}
  • connect to database
databaseURL := go_ora.BuildUrl("localhost", 1521, "service", "user", "pass", nil)
conn, err := sql.Open("oracle", databaseURL)
// check for err
err = conn.Ping()
// check for err
defer func() {
    err := conn.Close()
    // check for err
}()
  • register type
if drv, ok := conn.Driver().(*go_ora.OracleDriver); ok {
    err = drv.Conn.RegisterType("owner", "TEST_TYPE1", test1{})
    // check for err
}
  • select and display data
rows, err := conn.Query("SELECT test_type1(10, 'test') from dual")
// check for err
var test test1
for rows.Next() {
    err = rows.Scan(&test)
    // check for err
    fmt.Println(test)
}

version 2.2.5

  • add function go_ora.BuildUrl to escape special characters

version 2.2.4

  • add support for tcps. you can enable tcps through the following url options
  • this link explain how to enable tcps in your server
wallet=wallet_dir // wallet should contain server and client certificates
SSL=true          // true or enabled
SSL Verify=false  // to bypass certificate verification

version 2.1.23

  • now support auto-login oracle wallet (non-local)
  • note: to use wallet you need to specify directory path for wallet the directory should contain cwallet.sso file "the file that will be used"
sqlQuery := "oracle://[email protected]:1522/service"
sqlQuery += "?TRACE FILE=trace.log"
sqlQuery += "&wallet=path_to_wallet_directory"
conn, err := sql.open("oracle", sqlQuery)
server:port/service ---> should be supplied when using wallet
user ---> is optional when omitted the reader will return first matched dsn
password ---> should be empty as it will be supplied from wallet

version 2.1.22

  • now support data packet integrity check using MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512
  • key is exchanged between server and client using Diffie Hellman method
  • note: to enable data integrity check add the following line to sqlnet.ora of the server
# possible values ([accepted | rejected | requested | required])
SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_SERVER = required
# possible values ([MD5 | SHA1 | SHA256 | SHA384 | SHA512])
SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_TYPES_SERVER = SHA512

version 2.1.21

  • now support data packet encryption using AES.
  • key is exchanged between server and client using Diffie Hellman method
  • note: to enable AES encryption add the following line to sqlnet.ora of the server
# possible values ([accepted | rejected | requested | required])
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = required
# possible values for AES (AES256 | AES192 | AES128)
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_SERVER = AES256

version 2.1.20

  • add new type go_ora.NVarChar now you can pass string parameter in 2 way:
    1- varchar string:
_, err := conn.Exec(inputSql, "7586")
   2- nvarchar string:
_, err := conn.Exec(inputSql, go_ora.NVarChar("7586"))

version 2.1.19

  • support more charsets (0x33D, 0x33E, 0x33F, 0x340, 0x352, 0x353, 0x354)
