This driver is now deprecated

Please use github.com/prestodb/presto-go-client instead.

prestgo

A pure Go database driver for the Presto query engine.

Installation

Simply run

go get github.com/avct/prestgo/...

This will install the Presto database driver and the prq tool for running queries from the command line.

Documentation is at http://godoc.org/github.com/avct/prestgo

Usage

Prestgo conforms to the Go standard library Driver interface. This means it works transparently with the database/sql package. Simply import the github.com/avct/prestgo package to auto-register the driver:

import "github.com/avct/prestgo"

If you don't intend to use any prestgo-specific functions directly, you can import using the blank identifier which will still register the driver:

import _ "github.com/avct/prestgo"

The driver name is prestgo and it supports the standard Presto data source name format presto://user@hostname:port/catalog/schema. All parts of the data source name are optional, defaulting to port 8080 on localhost with hive catalog, default schema and a user of prestgo.

Here's how to get a list of tables from a Presto server:

package main

import (
	"database/sql"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	_ "github.com/avct/prestgo"
)

func main() {
	db, err := sql.Open("prestgo", "presto://example:8080/hive/default")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to connect to presto: %v", err)
	}

	rows, err := db.Query("SHOW TABLES")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to run query: %v", err)
	}

	defer rows.Close()

	for rows.Next() {
		var name string
		if err := rows.Scan(&name); err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err.Error())
		}

		fmt.Printf("%s\n", name)
	}
	if err := rows.Err(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err.Error())
	}
}

The included command line query tool prq can be used like this:

prq "presto://example:8080/hive/default" "SHOW TABLES"
