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 Opportunities (Name) VALUES ('Residential Oppty')")
affected, _ := result.RowsAffected()

UPDATE

To retrieve updates:

result, _ := db.Exec("UPDATE Opportunities SET Name = 'Residential Oppty' WHERE OptyId = 'Jack'")
affected, _ := result.RowsAffected()

DELETE

To delete updates:

result, _ := db.Exec("DELETE FROM Opportunities WHERE Id = '300000002693011'")
affected, _ := result.RowsAffected()
