What are some popular SQL migration libraries for Go?

Some popular SQL migration libraries for Go include Goose, Gormigrate, and sql-migrate. Would you like to know more about any of these?

Can you explain how to use Gormigrate?

Sure! Gormigrate is a simple migration library for GORM. You define your migrations as functions and then apply them using Gormigrate's methods. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a basic example:

package main

import (
    "github.com/go-gormigrate/gormigrate"
    "gorm.io/gorm"
)

func main() {
    m := gormigrate.New(db, gormigrate.DefaultOptions, []*gormigrate.Migration{
        {
            ID: "20230301_create_users_table",
            Migrate: func(tx *gorm.DB) error {
                return tx.AutoMigrate(&User{})
            },
        },
    })
    m.Migrate() // Apply migrations
}

This will create a users table. Let me know if you have more questions!

What are the advantages of using migrations?

Using migrations helps manage database schema changes in a structured way, ensuring consistency across environments and making it easier to roll back changes if needed.
