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 Customers (Name) VALUES ('Hook, Captain')")
affected, _ := result.RowsAffected()

UPDATE

To retrieve updates:

result, _ := db.Exec("UPDATE Customers SET Name = 'Hook, Captain' WHERE Id = 'Cook, Brian'")
affected, _ := result.RowsAffected()

DELETE

To delete updates:

result, _ := db.Exec("DELETE FROM Customers WHERE Id = '10456255-0015501366'")
affected, _ := result.RowsAffected()
