WARNING

This repo is frozen, all future modifications will happen in

github.com/go-goracle/goracle

This is for gopkg.in versioning, so you can use

gopkg.in/goracle.v1

for imports! Reasons for this change:

  1. Nicer import path,
  2. Versioned imports - braking changes will go into a new branch, appearing as a new version: gopkg.in/goracle.v2
  3. I've created a new GitHub organization, and the import path no longer contains my name, so the transition of ownership may be easier in the future, if someone with better skills, more time appear to maintain goracle.

goracle

goracle/oracle is a package is a translated version of cx_Oracle (by Anthony Tuininga) converted from C (Python module) to Go.

goracle/godrv is a package which is a database/sql/driver.Driver compliant wrapper for goracle/oracle - passes github.com/bradfitz/go-sql-test (as github.com/tgulacsi/go-sql-test).

There

CHAR, VARCHAR2, NUMBER, DATETIME, INTERVAL simple AND array bind/define. CURSOR, CLOB, BLOB

Not working

Cannot input PLS_INTEGER, only INTEGER (this is OK, as PLS_INTEGER is a PL/SQL type, not an SQL one).

Not working ATM

Nothing I know of.

Not tested (yet)

LONG, LONG RAW, BFILE

Usage and intentions

I haven't had the pressure to force me understanding database/sql - yet. I've ported cx_Oracle because I'm using Python with Oracle most of, and no featureful OCI binding has existed for Go that time. Thus I'm fluent with cx_Oracle and that means goracle/oracle.

BUT I'd start and stick with database/sql as long as it is possible

  • my impression is that Go's standard library is very high quality.

Of course if you need to use Oracle's non-standard features (out bind variables, returning cursors, sending and receiving PL/SQL associative tables...) then goracle/oracle is the straight choice.

For simple (connection, Ping, Select) usage, and testing connection (DSN can be tricky), see conntest.

Changes

With b0219c8f we can reuse statements with different number of bind variables!

Debug

You can build the test executable (for debugging with gdb, for example) with go test -c

You can build a tracing version with the "trace" build tag (go build -tags=trace) that will print out everything before calling OCI C functions.

See c for example.

Install

It is go get'able with go get github.com/tgulacsi/goracle/godrv iff you have Oracle DB installed OR the Oracle's InstantClient both the Basic Client and the SDK (for the header files), too!

  • installed

For environment variables on POSIXy systems, you can try . ./env:

go get github.com/tgulacsi/goracle
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tgulacsi/goracle
. ./env
go install ./godrv

Linux

AND you have set proper environment variables:

export CGO_CFLAGS=-I$(dirname $(find $ORACLE_HOME -type f -name oci.h))
export CGO_LDFLAGS=-L$(dirname $(find $ORACLE_HOME -type f -name libclntsh.so\*))
go get github.com/tgulacsi/goracle/godrv

For example, with my XE:

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe
CGO_CFLAGS=-I/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/rdbms/public
CGO_LDFLAGS=-L/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/lib

With InstantClient:

CGO_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64
CGO_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64

RHEL 5

If your git is too old, gopkg.in may present too much hops. You can do

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/gopkg.in/ && cd $GOPATH/src/gopkg.in && \
	git checkout https://github.com/go-errgo/errgo.git errgo.v1 && \
	cd errgo.v1 && git checkout -f v1
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/gopkg.in/ && cd $GOPATH/src/gopkg.in && \
	git checkout https://github.com/inconshreveable/log15.git log15.v2 && \
	cd log15.v2 && git checkout -f v2

Mac OS X

For Mac OS X I did the following:

You have to get both the Instant Client Package Basic and the Instant Client Package SDK (for the header files).

Then set the env vars as this (note the SDK here was unpacked into the base directory of the Basic package)

export CGO_CFLAGS=-I/Users/dfils/src/oracle/instantclient_11_2/sdk/include
export CGO_LDFLAGS=-L/Users/dfils/src/oracle/instantclient_11_2
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/dfils/src/oracle/instantclient_11_2:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Perhaps this export would work too, but I did not try it. I understand this is another way to do this

export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/dfils/src/oracle/instantclient_11_2

The DYLD vars are needed to run the binary, not to compile it.

Windows 7 64-bit

Thanks to Johann Kropf!

Requirements

  • mingw-w64
  • msys
  • go
  • Oracle InstantClient Basic 64bit
  • Oracle InstantClient SDK 64bit
  • github.com\tgulacsi\goracle under %GOPATH%

Set CGO_CFLAGS=-IC:\Oracle64Instant\sdk\include Set CGO_LDFLAGS=-LC:\Oracle64Instant\sdk\lib

On Windows the library libclntsh.so does not exist. So change the line in all the source files of github.com\tgulacsi\goracle\oracle

From #cgo LDFLAGS: -lclntsh

to #cgo LDFLAGS: -loci

Create the liboci.a file from the oci.dll by doing

  1. Install Msys from Mingw if not already done
  2. Download gendef utility from http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/code/HEAD/tree/stable/v3.x/ by "Download snapshot"
  3. Extract the zip-file and copy the folder gendef to your home-directory in Msys
  4. go to the folder gendef and execute ./configure and ./make - gendef.exe will be created
  5. Run: gendef oci.dll - oci.def will be generated
  6. Run: dlltool -D oci.dll -d oci.def -l liboci.a - liboci.a will be generated
  7. copy liboci.a C:\Oracle64Instant\sdk\lib

Build oracle with %GOPATH%\github.com\tgulacsi\goracle\oracle>go install

You can build now your program which imports "github.com/tgulacsi/goracle/oracle"!
