Modifying Data
The following code examples show how to use data modification statements.
Procedure for Updates
You can use Exec to execute data modification statements. Exec returns a Result value which contains the number of affected rows.
INSERT
To insert updates:
result, _ := db.Exec("INSERT INTO incident (priority) VALUES ('4')") affected, _ := result.RowsAffected()
UPDATE
To retrieve updates:
result, _ := db.Exec("UPDATE incident SET priority = '4' WHERE sys_id = 'request'") affected, _ := result.RowsAffected()
DELETE
To delete updates:
result, _ := db.Exec("DELETE FROM incident WHERE sys_id = 'S'") affected, _ := result.RowsAffected()
