Installation

Simple install the package to your $GOPATH with the go tool from shell:

$ go get -u github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql

Make sure Git is installed on your machine and in your system's PATH.

Usage

Go MySQL Driver is an implementation of Go's database/sql/driver interface. You only need to import the driver and can use the full database/sql API then.

Use mysql as driverName and a valid DSN as dataSourceName:

import "database/sql"
import _ "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql"

db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "user:password@/dbname")

Examples are available in our Wiki.

DSN (Data Source Name)

The Data Source Name has a common format, like e.g. PEAR DB uses it, but without type-prefix (optional parts marked by squared brackets):

[username[:password]@][protocol[(address)]]/dbname[?param1=value1&...&paramN=valueN]

A DSN in its fullest form:

username:password@protocol(address)/dbname?param=value

Except for the databasename, all values are optional. So the minimal DSN is:

/dbname

If you do not want to preselect a database, leave dbname empty:

/

This has the same effect as an empty DSN string:

Alternatively, Config.FormatDSN can be used to create a DSN string by filling a struct.

Password

Passwords can consist of any character. Escaping is not necessary.

Protocol

See net.Dial for more information which networks are available.
In general you should use an Unix domain socket if available and TCP otherwise for best performance.

Address

For TCP and UDP networks, addresses have the form host[:port].
If port is omitted, the default port will be used.
If host is a literal IPv6 address, it must be enclosed in square brackets.
The functions net.JoinHostPort and net.SplitHostPort manipulate addresses in this form.

For Unix domain sockets the address is the absolute path to the MySQL-Server-socket, e.g. /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock or /tmp/mysql.sock.

Parameters

Parameters are case-sensitive!

Notice that any of true, TRUE, True or 1 is accepted to stand for a true boolean value. Not surprisingly, false can be specified as any of: false, FALSE, False or 0.

allowAllFiles

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        false

allowAllFiles=true disables the file Whitelist for LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE and allows all files.
Might be insecure!

allowCleartextPasswords

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        false

allowCleartextPasswords=true allows using the cleartext client side plugin if required by an account, such as one defined with the PAM authentication plugin. Sending passwords in clear text may be a security problem in some configurations. To avoid problems if there is any possibility that the password would be intercepted, clients should connect to MySQL Server using a method that protects the password. Possibilities include TLS / SSL, IPsec, or a private network.

allowNativePasswords

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        true

allowNativePasswords=false disallows the usage of MySQL native password method.

allowOldPasswords

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        false

allowOldPasswords=true allows the usage of the insecure old password method. This should be avoided, but is necessary in some cases. See also the old_passwords wiki page.

charset

Type:           string
Valid Values:   <name>
Default:        none

Sets the charset used for client-server interaction ("SET NAMES <value>"). If multiple charsets are set (separated by a comma), the following charset is used if setting the charset failes. This enables for example support for utf8mb4 (introduced in MySQL 5.5.3) with fallback to utf8 for older servers (charset=utf8mb4,utf8).

Usage of the charset parameter is discouraged because it issues additional queries to the server.
Unless you need the fallback behavior, please use collation instead.

collation

Type:           string
Valid Values:   <name>
Default:        utf8_general_ci

Sets the collation used for client-server interaction on connection. In contrast to charset, collation does not issue additional queries. If the specified collation is unavailable on the target server, the connection will fail.

A list of valid charsets for a server is retrievable with SHOW COLLATION.

clientFoundRows

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        false

clientFoundRows=true causes an UPDATE to return the number of matching rows instead of the number of rows changed.

columnsWithAlias

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        false

When columnsWithAlias is true, calls to sql.Rows.Columns() will return the table alias and the column name separated by a dot. For example:

SELECT u.id FROM users as u

will return u.id instead of just id if columnsWithAlias=true.

interpolateParams

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        false

If interpolateParams is true, placeholders (?) in calls to db.Query() and db.Exec() are interpolated into a single query string with given parameters. This reduces the number of roundtrips, since the driver has to prepare a statement, execute it with given parameters and close the statement again with interpolateParams=false.

This can not be used together with the multibyte encodings BIG5, CP932, GB2312, GBK or SJIS. These are blacklisted as they may introduce a SQL injection vulnerability!

loc

Type:           string
Valid Values:   <escaped name>
Default:        UTC

Sets the location for time.Time values (when using parseTime=true). "Local" sets the system's location. See time.LoadLocation for details.

Note that this sets the location for time.Time values but does not change MySQL's time_zone setting. For that see the time_zone system variable, which can also be set as a DSN parameter.

Please keep in mind, that param values must be url.QueryEscape'ed. Alternatively you can manually replace the / with %2F. For example US/Pacific would be loc=US%2FPacific.

maxAllowedPacket

Type:          decimal number
Default:       4194304

Max packet size allowed in bytes. The default value is 4 MiB and should be adjusted to match the server settings. maxAllowedPacket=0 can be used to automatically fetch the max_allowed_packet variable from server on every connection.

multiStatements

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        false

Allow multiple statements in one query. While this allows batch queries, it also greatly increases the risk of SQL injections. Only the result of the first query is returned, all other results are silently discarded.

When multiStatements is used, ? parameters must only be used in the first statement.

parseTime

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        false

parseTime=true changes the output type of DATE and DATETIME values to time.Time instead of []byte / string
The date or datetime like 0000-00-00 00:00:00 is converted into zero value of time.Time.

readTimeout

Type:           duration
Default:        0

I/O read timeout. The value must be a decimal number with a unit suffix ("ms", "s", "m", "h"), such as "30s", "0.5m" or "1m30s".

rejectReadOnly

Type:           bool
Valid Values:   true, false
Default:        false

rejectReadOnly=true causes the driver to reject read-only connections. This
is for a possible race condition during an automatic failover, where the mysql
client gets connected to a read-only replica after the failover.

Note that this should be a fairly rare case, as an automatic failover normally
happens when the primary is down, and the race condition shouldn't happen
unless it comes back up online as soon as the failover is kicked off. On the
other hand, when this happens, a MySQL application can get stuck on a
read-only connection until restarted. It is however fairly easy to reproduce,
for example, using a manual failover on AWS Aurora's MySQL-compatible cluster.

If you are not relying on read-only transactions to reject writes that aren't
supposed to happen, setting this on some MySQL providers (such as AWS Aurora)
is safer for failovers.

Note that ERROR 1290 can be returned for a read-only server and this option will
cause a retry for that error. However the same error number is used for some
other cases. You should ensure your application will never cause an ERROR 1290
except for read-only mode when enabling this option.

serverPubKey

Type:           string
Valid Values:   <name>
Default:        none

Server public keys can be registered with mysql.RegisterServerPubKey, which can then be used by the assigned name in the DSN.
Public keys are used to transmit encrypted data, e.g. for authentication.
If the server's public key is known, it should be set manually to avoid expensive and potentially insecure transmissions of the public key from the server to the client each time it is required.

timeout

Type:           duration
Default:        OS default

Timeout for establishing connections, aka dial timeout. The value must be a decimal number with a unit suffix ("ms", "s", "m", "h"), such as "30s", "0.5m" or "1m30s".

tls

Type:           bool / string
Valid Values:   true, false, skip-verify, <name>
Default:        false

tls=true enables TLS / SSL encrypted connection to the server. Use skip-verify if you want to use a self-signed or invalid certificate (server side). Use a custom value registered with mysql.RegisterTLSConfig.

writeTimeout

Type:           duration
Default:        0

I/O write timeout. The value must be a decimal number with a unit suffix ("ms", "s", "m", "h"), such as "30s", "0.5m" or "1m30s".

System Variables

Any other parameters are interpreted as system variables:

• <boolean_var>=<value>: SET <boolean_var>=<value>
• <enum_var>=<value>: SET <enum_var>=<value>
• <string_var>=%27<value>%27: SET <string_var>='<value>'

Rules:

• The values for string variables must be quoted with '.
• The values must also be url.QueryEscape'ed!
  (which implies values of string variables must be wrapped with %27).

Examples:

• autocommit=1: SET autocommit=1
• time_zone=%27Europe%2FParis%27: SET time_zone='Europe/Paris'
• tx_isolation=%27REPEATABLE-READ%27: SET tx_isolation='REPEATABLE-READ'

Examples

user@unix(/path/to/socket)/dbname

root:pw@unix(/tmp/mysql.sock)/myDatabase?loc=Local

user:password@tcp(localhost:5555)/dbname?tls=skip-verify&autocommit=true

Treat warnings as errors by setting the system variable sql_mode:

user:password@/dbname?sql_mode=TRADITIONAL

TCP via IPv6:

user:password@tcp([de:ad:be:ef::ca:fe]:80)/dbname?timeout=90s&collation=utf8mb4_unicode_ci

TCP on a remote host, e.g. Amazon RDS:

id:password@tcp(your-amazonaws-uri.com:3306)/dbname

Google Cloud SQL on App Engine (First Generation MySQL Server):

user@cloudsql(project-id:instance-name)/dbname

Google Cloud SQL on App Engine (Second Generation MySQL Server):

user@cloudsql(project-id:regionname:instance-name)/dbname

TCP using default port (3306) on localhost:

user:password@tcp/dbname?charset=utf8mb4,utf8&sys_var=esc%40ped

Use the default protocol (tcp) and host (localhost:3306):

user:password@/dbname

No Database preselected:

user:password@/

Connection pool and timeouts

The connection pool is managed by Go's database/sql package. For details on how to configure the size of the pool and how long connections stay in the pool see *DB.SetMaxOpenConns, *DB.SetMaxIdleConns, and *DB.SetConnMaxLifetime in the database/sql documentation. The read, write, and dial timeouts for each individual connection are configured with the DSN parameters readTimeout, writeTimeout, and timeout, respectively.

ColumnType Support

This driver supports the ColumnType interface introduced in Go 1.8, with the exception of ColumnType.Length(), which is currently not supported.

context.Context Support

Go 1.8 added database/sql support for context.Context. This driver supports query timeouts and cancellation via contexts.
See context support in the database/sql package for more details.

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE support

For this feature you need direct access to the package. Therefore you must change the import path (no _):

import "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql"

Files must be whitelisted by registering them with mysql.RegisterLocalFile(filepath) (recommended) or the Whitelist check must be deactivated by using the DSN parameter allowAllFiles=true (Might be insecure!).

To use a io.Reader a handler function must be registered with mysql.RegisterReaderHandler(name, handler) which returns a io.Reader or io.ReadCloser. The Reader is available with the filepath Reader::<name> then. Choose different names for different handlers and DeregisterReaderHandler when you don't need it anymore.

See the godoc of Go-MySQL-Driver for details.

time.Time support

The default internal output type of MySQL DATE and DATETIME values is []byte which allows you to scan the value into a []byte, string or sql.RawBytes variable in your program.

However, many want to scan MySQL DATE and DATETIME values into time.Time variables, which is the logical opposite in Go to DATE and DATETIME in MySQL. You can do that by changing the internal output type from []byte to time.Time with the DSN parameter parseTime=true. You can set the default time.Time location with the loc DSN parameter.

Caution: As of Go 1.1, this makes time.Time the only variable type you can scan DATE and DATETIME values into. This breaks for example sql.RawBytes support.

Alternatively you can use the NullTime type as the scan destination, which works with both time.Time and string / []byte.

Unicode support

Since version 1.1 Go-MySQL-Driver automatically uses the collation utf8_general_ci by default.

Other collations / charsets can be set using the collation DSN parameter.

Version 1.0 of the driver recommended adding &charset=utf8 (alias for SET NAMES utf8) to the DSN to enable proper UTF-8 support. This is not necessary anymore. The collation parameter should be preferred to set another collation / charset than the default.

See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/charset-unicode.html for more details on MySQL's Unicode support.

Testing / Development

To run the driver tests you may need to adjust the configuration. See the Testing Wiki-Page for details.
