upper.io/db.v1
The db package
upper.io/db.v1 is a Go package that allows developers to communicate
with different databases through the use of adapters that wrap well-supported
database drivers.
go get -u upper.io/db.v1
Is db an ORM?
db is not an ORM in the sense that it does not tell you how to design your
software or how to validate your data, instead it only focuses on being a tool
that deals with common operations on different databases:
// This code works the same for all supported databases.
var people []Person
res = col.Find(db.Cond{"name": "Max"}).Limit(10).Sort("-last_name")
err = res.All(&people)
In strict sense upper.io/db.v1 could be considered a non-opinionated ORM that
rather stays out of the way.
Supported databases
upper.io/db.v1 attempts to provide full compatiblity for CRUD operations
across adapters. Some other operations (such transactions) are supported only
on specific database adapters, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite.
- MongoDB via mgo
- MySQL via mysql
- PostgreSQL via pq
- QL via ql
- SQLite3 via go-sqlite3
