Prepared Statements

By default the goqu will interpolate all parameters, if you do not want to have values interpolated you can use the Prepared method to prevent this.

Note For the examples all placeholders are ? this will be dialect specific when using other examples (e.g. Postgres $1, $2...)

preparedDs := db.From("items").Prepared(true)

sql, args, _ := preparedDs.Where(goqu.Ex{
	"col1": "a",
	"col2": 1,
	"col3": true,
	"col4": false,
	"col5": []string{"a", "b", "c"},
}).ToSQL()
fmt.Println(sql, args)

sql, args, _ = preparedDs.Insert().Rows(
	goqu.Record{"name": "Test1", "address": "111 Test Addr"},
	goqu.Record{"name": "Test2", "address": "112 Test Addr"},
).ToSQL()
fmt.Println(sql, args)

sql, args, _ = preparedDs.Update().Set(
	goqu.Record{"name": "Test", "address": "111 Test Addr"},
).ToSQL()
fmt.Println(sql, args)

sql, args, _ = preparedDs.
	Delete().
	Where(goqu.Ex{"id": goqu.Op{"gt": 10}}).
	ToSQL()
fmt.Println(sql, args)

// Output:
// SELECT * FROM "items" WHERE (("col1" = ?) AND ("col2" = ?) AND ("col3" IS TRUE) AND ("col4" IS FALSE) AND ("col5" IN (?, ?, ?))) [a 1 a b c]
// INSERT INTO "items" ("address", "name") VALUES (?, ?), (?, ?) [111 Test Addr Test1 112 Test Addr Test2]
// UPDATE "items" SET "address"=?,"name"=? [111 Test Addr Test]
// DELETE FROM "items" WHERE ("id" > ?) [10]

When setting prepared to true executing the SQL using the different querying methods will also use the non-interpolated SQL also.

var items []Item
sql, args, _ := db.From("items").Prepared(true).Where(goqu.Ex{
	"col1": "a",
	"col2": 1,
}).ScanStructs(&items)

//Is the same as
db.ScanStructs(&items, `SELECT * FROM "items" WHERE (("col1" = ?) AND ("col2" = ?))`,  "a", 1)
