I am new to go and backend development. I am trying to use a MySQL database with go to create a REST API.
func getUsers(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "root:mypassword@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306/test)")
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error())
}
results, err := db.Query("Select * from users")
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error())
}
for results.Next() {
var user User
err = results.Scan(&user.FirstName)
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error)
}
fmt.Println(user.FirstName)
}
//scores is an array that i have already created just to return dummy data
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(scores)
}
I get this error:

I am not able to understand the issue.
It works fine when there is no DB query.
EDIT 1: editted sql.Open to change closing braces to root:mypassword@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/test
works fine when querying
but i get panic while inserting in db
func insertUsers(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "root:mypassword@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/test")
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error())
}
insert, err := db.Query("Insert into users (personId,firstName,lastName) values(20,tushar,saha)")
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error)
}
defer insert.Close()
}
this is the error 1

The DSN (i.e. second) argument to the sql.Open()
method is malformed.
Only the address portion (127.0.0.1:3306
) is supposed to be surrounded by parentheses. You've included the database name within the parentheses as well.
Try this instead:
db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "root:mypassword@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/test")
The documented format is:
[username[:password]@][protocol[(address)]]/dbname[?param1=value1&...¶mN=valueN]
In your error handling block for the insert query, you're not calling the method. Instead you're printing out it's memory location.
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error)
}
If you actually call the method (similar to how you have in the error handling block for the sql.Open()
), you'll print out the error message which can point you towards what's wrong.
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error())
}
