go-pgsql is a PostgreSQL client library for the Go programming language.

It partially implements version 3.0 of the PostgreSQL frontend/backend protocol, so it should work with servers of version 7.4 and later.

1. Make sure you have a working Go installation, see the installation guide at http://golang.org/doc/install.html
2. git clone http://github.com/lxn/go-pgsql.git
3. cd go-pgsql/src/pkg/pgsql && gomake install

Alternatively you can use goinstall: goinstall github.com/lxn/go-pgsql/src/pkg/pgsql

There are some examples in the src/cmd/examples directory which should get you started.

Please open an issue on the bug tracker if you encounter a bug.

go-pgsql is currently missing support for some features, including:

• authentication types other than MD5
• SSL encrypted sessions
• some data types like bytea, ...
• canceling commands/queries
• bulk copy
• ...

go-pgsql is (at least for now) not thread-safe, so for every goroutine that must talk to the same database, a separate Conn is required.

Because the resolution of time.Time is seconds, fractions of seconds are silently dropped by *ResultSet.Time and *ResultSet.TimeSeconds.
