Sql.Open() Parameters

Getting Help
1

Hi,

I do not understand the parameters in the sql.Open() function. Particularly the second one that looks like this… user:password(ip)/table

Please help with an explanation on how to relate this to my own localhost. The documentation is not clear on the parameters.

Cheers
Daniel

Yeah, thanks. j1436go

The syntax is a major issue.

// Could also be "user:@/dbname" if no password and on localhost.
db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "user:password@localhost/dbname")
