Connect with Go

SingleStore is wire-compliant with MySQL, which means you can connect to your SingleStore cluster with Go similar to a MySQL database.

Prerequisites

  • A SingleStore cluster

  • Go

  • The mysql module for Go:

    go get github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql

Connection Details

To connect your Go application to your SingleStore cluster, you'll need the following information:

  • Host: the endpoint or IP Address of your SingleStore cluster.

  • Port: default is 3306

  • User: root

  • Password

  • Database

Here's an example of a Go connection for a SingleStore cluster:

func main() {
HOSTNAME := "svc-12345678-1234-1234-1234-2d4b84322fd8-ddl.aws-region-1.svc.singlestore.com"
PORT := "3306"
USERNAME := "admin"
PASSWORD := "<your admin password>"
DATABASE := "acme"
connection := USERNAME + ":" + PASSWORD + "@tcp(" + HOSTNAME + ":" + PORT + ")/" + DATABASE + "?parseTime=true"
db, err := sql.Open("mysql", connection)
}

Use the following steps to verify the authenticity of singlestoredb-server, singlestoredb-toolbox, singlestoredb-studio, and singlestore-client SingleStore files that have been downloaded.

You may perform the following steps on any computer that can run cosign, such as the main deployment host of the cluster.

  1. (Optional) Run the following command to view the associated signature files.

    curl undefined
  2. Download the signature file from the SingleStore release server.

    • Option 1: Click the Download Signature button next to the SingleStore file.

    • Option 2: Copy and paste the following URL into the address bar of your browser and save the signature file.

    • Option 3: Run the following command to download the signature file.
