I have a database calendar with tsrange type from postgres. It allows me to have multiple appointments and time range such as :
["2018-11-08 10:00:00","2018-11-08 10:45:00"]
How do I store this value in a Go variable ?
I tried
var tsrange []string
And when I log tsrange[0]
it is empty. What is the proper type for it ?
More code :
rows, err := db.Query("SELECT * FROM appointments")
utils.CheckErr(err)
var id int
var userID int
var tsrange []string
rows.Next()
err = rows.Scan(&id, &userID, &tsrange)
fmt.Println(tsrange[0])
When I replace var tsrange []string
with var tsrange string
the log is ["2018-11-08 10:00:00","2018-11-08 10:45:00"]
.
You should be able to retrieve the individual bounds of a range at the sql level.
// replace tsrange_col with the name of your tsrange column
rows, err := db.Query("SELECT id, user_id, lower(tsrange_col), upper(tsrange_col) FROM appointments")
utils.CheckErr(err)
var id int
var userID int
var tsrange [2]time.Time
rows.Next()
err = rows.Scan(&id, &userID, &tsrange[0], &tsrange[1])
fmt.Println(tsrange[0]) // from
fmt.Println(tsrange[1]) // to
