Config

Run this command in your terminal to save DSN(data source name) as variable:

Bash

export TDENGINE_GO_DSN="<goDSN>"

CMD

set TDENGINE_GO_DSN=<goDSN>

Powershell

$env:TDENGINE_GO_DSN='<goDSN>'

IMPORTANT

Replace <goDSN> with the real value, the format should be https(<cloud_endpoint>)/?token=<token>. To obtain the value of goDSN, please log in TDengine Cloud and click "Programming" on the left menu, then select "Go".

Connect

Copy code bellow to main.go.

main.go

package main

import (

	"fmt"
	"os"

	_ "github.com/taosdata/driver-go/v3/taosRestful"
)

func main() {
	dsn := os.Getenv("TDENGINE_GO_DSN")
	taos, err := sql.Open("taosRestful", dsn)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	defer taos.Close()
	rows, err := taos.Query("show databases")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	rows.Close()
	fmt.Println("connect success")
