Overview

This repository contains an example of how to use PGX, a PostgreSQL driver and toolkit for Golang, to manage database transactions. The example demonstrates how to start a transaction, execute queries, and commit or rollback the transaction based on the success or failure of the operations.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.16 or later
• PostgreSQL 9.5 or later
• PGX library for Go

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/go-pgx-transaction.git
cd go-pgx-transaction

2. Install the dependencies:

go mod tidy

Usage

1. Update the database connection settings in main.go:

connConfig, err := pgxpool.ParseConfig("postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/database_name")

2. Run the example:

go run main.go

Example

The example code in main.go shows how to:

• Establish a connection to the PostgreSQL database using PGX.
• Start a transaction.
• Execute multiple queries within the transaction.
• Commit the transaction if all queries succeed.
• Rollback the transaction if any query fails.
