This section provides a walk-through to writing ODBC data access code to DB2 in Go, using the Go ODBC driver and the built-in sql package.

Connecting from Go

See Getting Started for the prerequisite information you need to deploy the driver and configure the connection to DB2.

Dependencies describes the necessary steps to install the Go ODBC driver. Once it is installed, refer to Connecting to connect to DB2.

Executing SQL

Use SQL functions to execute SQL on DB2:

• See Querying Data to execute SELECT statements and iterate over the results.
• See Modifying Data to execute other SQL data manipulation statements.
• See Parameterized Statements to execute parameterized statements. Parameterized statements provide a means to efficiently execute queries more than once and to mitigate SQL injection attacks.

Executing Stored Procedures

See Executing Stored Procedures to execute stored procedures as SQL statements.
