go-hdb's Introduction

go-hdb

Go-hdb is a native Go (golang) HANA database driver for Go's sql package. It implements the SAP HANA SQL command network protocol.

For the official SAP HANA client Go support (not this database driver) please see SAP Help Portal.

Installation

go get -u github.com/SAP/go-hdb/driver

To build go-hdb you need to have a working Go environment of the latest or second latest Go version.

API documentation and documented examples can be found at https://godoc.org/github.com/SAP/go-hdb/driver.

To run the driver integration tests a HANA Database server is required. The test user must have privileges to create database schemas.

Provide dsn via parameter:

go test -dsn hdb://user:password@host:port

set environment variable GOHDBDSN:

#linux example
export GOHDBDSN="hdb://user:password@host:port"
go test

Using the Go build tag 'unit' only the driver unit tests will be executed (no HANA Database server required):

go test --tags unit
