Simple Queries with Beego ORM

Learn to write simple queries using Beego ORM including insert, update, delete, and retrieval.

We'll cover the following...

For the purpose of simplicity, we will use the following model structure throughout this lesson:

Go (1.18.2)
type User struct {
    Id      int
    Name    string
    Age     int
}

  • Lines 2–4: The Id, Name, and Age variables represent the columns id, name and age, respectively.

Go (1.18.2)
// Insert in user table
user := User{Name: "MountainMaverick", Age: 34}
o := orm.NewOrm()
id, err := o.Insert(&user)
fmt.Println(id, err)

To insert a new record, we do the following:

  • Line 2: We create an instance of the User struct with the desired values of the row we want to insert.

  • Line 3: We create a new ORM object. This variable o is used to do ORM operations.

  • Line 4: We ...
