Getting Started with MySQL and Go

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a MySQL server using Docker and running a Go application that interacts with it.

Step 1: Run a MySQL Server

First, we need to set up a MySQL server. We will use Docker to run a MySQL server with preloaded employees data (for demo). Run the following command in your terminal:

docker run -d --name mysql-employees \
  -p 3306:3306 \
  -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=college \
  genschsa/mysql-employees

NOTE :Make sure to replace college with your desired password.

Set Password in env variable

Set the password in an environment variable for easier configuration:

export DB_PASSWORD=college

Step 2: Configure and Run the Go Application

  • Define your MySQL database configuration in your Go application.

  • Ensure you have Xray installed and imported in your Go application.

  • Checkout Integration.md for a detailed documentation and main.go for code sample demonstrating how to connect to MySQL using Xray.

  • Once you have the code, run the following commands:

go mod tidy
go run example/mysql/main.go
