我需要使用gorm（golang）在数据库中读取和写入两个不同的对象吗？

gorm tell in the documentation that "Base model definition gorm.Model, including fields ID, CreatedAt, UpdatedAt, DeletedAt, you could embed it in your model, or only write those fields you want":

// Base Model's definition
type Model struct {
  ID        uint `gorm:"primary_key"`
  CreatedAt time.Time
  UpdatedAt time.Time
  DeletedAt *time.Time
}

// Add fields `ID`, `CreatedAt`, `UpdatedAt`, `DeletedAt`
type User struct {
  gorm.Model
  Name string
}

// Only need field `ID`, `CreatedAt`
type User struct {
  ID        uint
  CreatedAt time.Time
  Name      string
}

Following the documentation, I expect to have only one definition of User, so I create an object like that:

type User struct {
  gorm.Model
  ID        uint
  CreatedAt time.Time
  Name      string
}

But if I do a DB.CreateTable(&User{}), I get the following errors from postgres:

(pq: column "id" specified more than once)
(pq: column "created_at" specified more than once)

So I have to have two different objects :

type CreateUser struct {
  gorm.Model
  Name string
}

type RetrieveUser struct {
  gorm.Model
  ID        uint
  CreatedAt time.Time
  Name      string
}

So I can do a DB.CreateTable(&CreateUser{})

It is very ugly and I must be missing something, any idea?

Ok, just read the code behind gorm.Model and I got my answer.

type Model struct {
    ID        uint `gorm:"primary_key"`
    CreatedAt time.Time
    UpdatedAt time.Time
    DeletedAt *time.Time `sql:"index"`
}

It means I just leaned how inheritance works in go !
