How to Use SQL2Struct

Here’s how to convert your SQL statement into Go struct code:

1. Execute the command SHOW CREATE TABLE xxxG; in your database client to retrieve the table structure.
2. Paste the SQL statement into the left editor of the SQL2Struct interface.



3. On the right side, you will see the Go struct code generated from the SQL statement you pasted.



4. Change the transfer options as needed. By default, only JSON tags will be used in the transferred Go struct code. You can select other checkboxes to include more tags.



5. You can customize transfer options further using the options button. Note that fields with special identifiers will be uppercased in the Go struct fields.



6. Additionally, field maps define the mapping rules between SQL field types and Go struct field types.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into issues while using SQL2Struct, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure you have the latest version of Node.js and the package manager used, such as pnpm.
• Check your internet connection if you’re using the online version.
• Make sure you’ve cloned the correct repository and followed the installation steps without skipping any.
• If you don’t see the Go struct code, recheck your SQL syntax and make sure it’s valid.
