I am trying to execute a SQL statement in the code below. However, sqlRes is unused and therefore cannot be compiled. I do not need the variable, but I need to declare it because Exec() returns multiple values.
How do I approach this?
stmt, err := db.Prepare("INSERT person SET name=?")
sqlRes, err := stmt.Exec(person.Name)
Replace sqlRes with the blank identifier (_). From the spec:
The blank identifier provides a way to ignore right-hand side values in an assignment:
_ = x // evaluate x but ignore it x, _ = f() // evaluate f() but ignore second result value
Example:
stmt, err := db.Prepare("INSERT person SET name=?")
_, err = stmt.Exec(person.Name)
