unsupported Scan, storing driver.Value type []uint8 into type *time.Time
I have difficulty querieing for users, which is defined as:
type User struct {
ID int `db:"id" json:"id"`
UserName string `db:"username" json:"username"`
Email string `db:"email" json:"email"`
CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at" json:"created_at"`
StatusID uint8 `db:"status_id" json:"status_id"`
Deleted uint8 `db:"deleted" json:"deleted"`
...
}
And the table in MariaDB is defined as:
+--------------+------------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------------+------------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+
| id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| username | varchar(50) | NO | | NA | |
| email | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | |
| created_at | datetime | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | |
| status_id | tinyint(1) | NO | | 0 | |
| deleted | tinyint(1) | NO | | 0 | |
... |
However when I query it like:
func GetUsers(c *gin.Context) {
var users []model.User
err := shared.Dbmap.Select(&users, "SELECT * FROM user")
if err == nil {
c.JSON(200, users)
} else {
fmt.Println("%v \n", err)
c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{"error": "no user(s) in the table or problem in the query"})
}
// curl -i http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/users
}
I get this error:
sql: Scan error on column index 3: unsupported Scan, storing driver.Value type []uint8 into type *time.Time
while there are some rows in the table.
I have also tried created_at
as timestamp
but still get the same error.
So I'm left clueless as what wrong here? How can I fix it?
P.S. Though my question turned out to have the same answer as this but here the context is different (sqlx
instead of go-sql-driver/mysql
). Also since here the error is the subject it probably more searchable for people who google the same error. So perhaps this worth keeping as a separate question.
Alright, I found the solution, thanks this answer.
The problem goes by adding ?parseTime=true
to the db mapper. Like this:
db, err := sqlx.Connect("mysql", "myuser:mypass@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/mydb?parseTime=true")
In my case, I'm change
db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "root:@/?parseTime=true")
Is resolve problem.
