development environment
Lnaguage : Golang ver.1.9.2
DB : mySQL
Framework : not decided (Maybe I'll use revel)
situation
I already have DB which has singular-name table ,like "user", "page". It can't be changed.
Now I'll develop new application using this DB. I created simple application to connect this DB, and tried to auto migrate using gorm(https://github.com/jinzhu/gorm). I defined some models, like "user" which is same as existing DB table name, and run auto-migrate just as it written in (http://jinzhu.me/gorm/database.html#connecting-to-a-database )
db.Set("gorm:table_options", "ENGINE=InnoDB").AutoMigrate(&User{})
Then, new table "users" was created.
Question Can I create singular-name table, like "user" with auto-migrate or those things ? Using gorm is not required, so I'll use another orm library if it works.
I hope anyone help me !
Implement function TableName on struct User to return a custom name for the table. The ORM uses this function to get the table name for all DB operations.
func (user *User) TableName() string {
return "user"
}
Refer docs here: http://jinzhu.me/gorm/models.html#table-name-is-the-pluralized-version-of-struct-name
You have set with db instance to use singular table, like this: db.SingularTable(true)
