Is it possible to insert multiple rows into Postgres database at once? Could someone please suggest if there is a way to insert a slice of slices into database. I have created a slice for each row and created a another slice(multiple rows) by appending all the row slices to it. how do I insert the slice(multiple rows) into db?
When I create a row slice, I'm using row := []interface{}{}
. Because I have fields which are strings and int in each row. Looks like I
get an error when I'm inserting data and the error is unsupported type []interface {}, a slice of interface
Implementation:
rowdata := []interface{}{}
row := []interface{}{data.ScenarioUUID, data.Puid, data.Description, data.Status, data.CreatedBy, data.CreatedAt, data.UpdatedBy, data.UpdatedAt, data.ScopeStartsAt, data.ScopeEndsAt, Metric, MetricName, Channel, date, timeRangeValue}
rowdata = append(rowdata, row)
qry2 := `INSERT INTO sample (scenarioUuid,
puId,
description,
status,
createdBy,
createdAt,
updatedBy,
updatedAt,
scopeStartsAt,
scopeEndsAt,
metric,
metric_name,
channel,
time,
value) VALUES ($1, $2, $3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11,$12,$13,$14,$15)`
if _, err := db.Exec(qry2, rowdata); err != nil {
panic(err)
You could do something like this:
samples := // the slice of samples you want to insert
query := `insert into samples (<the list of columns>) values `
values := []interface{}{}
for i, s := range samples {
values = append(values, s.<field1>, s.<field2>, < ... >)
numFields := 15 // the number of fields you are inserting
n := i * numFields
query += `(`
for j := 0; j < numFields; j++ {
query += `$`+strconv.Itoa(n+j+1) + `,`
}
query = query[:len(query)-1] + `),`
}
query = query[:len(query)-1] // remove the trailing comma
db.Exec(query, values...)
