>SQL
</h1>
<p>
Previously in my fresher software developer time, I rarely write SQL, I
always use ORM to wrap SQL. But time past and too much abstraction bites
me. So I decide to only write SQL from now as much as possible, no more
ORM for me. But if there is any cool ORM for Go, I guess I try.
</p>
<p>
This guide is not kind of guide which cover all cases. Just my little
tricks when I work with SQL.

<p>
Use UUID instead. If you can, and you should, choose UUID type which can
be sortable.

>Stay away from database timestamp
</h2>
<p>
Stay away from all kind of database timestamp (MySQL timestmap, SQLite
timestamp, ...) Just use int64 then pass the timestamp in service layer
not database layer.
</p>
<p>
Why? Because time and date and location are too much complex to handle. In
my business, I use timestamp in milliseconds. Then I save timestamp as
int64 value to database. Each time I get timestamp from database, I parse
to time struct in Go with location or format I want. No more hassle!
</p>
<p>It looks like this:</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-text-adblock">
<pre>
[Business] time, data -&gt; convert to unix timestamp milliseconds -&gt; [Database] int64</pre
>
</div>

href="#extra-field-for-extra-things"
><span aria-hidden="true" class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a
>Extra field for extra things
</h2>
<p>
Create new column in database is scary, so I suggest avoid it if you can.
How to avoid, first design table with extra field. It is black hole, put
everything in there if you want.
</p>
<p>I always use MySQL json data type for extra field.</p>

><span aria-hidden="true" class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a
>Use index!!!
</h2>
<p>
You should use index for faster query, but not too much. Don't create
index for every fields in table. Choose wisely!
</p>
<p>For example, create index in MySQL:</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-sql">
<pre><span class="pl-k">CREATE</span> <span class="pl-k">INDEX</span> `<span class="pl-en">idx_timestamp</span>`
<span class="pl-k">ON</span> <span class="pl-s"><span class="pl-pds">`</span>user_upload<span class="pl-pds">`</span></span> (<span class="pl-s"><span class="pl-pds">`</span>timestamp<span class="pl-pds">`</span></span>);</pre>
</div>

class="anchor"
aria-hidden="true"
href="#be-careful-with-null"
><span aria-hidden="true" class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a
>Be careful with NULL
</h2>
<p>
If compare with field which can be NULL, remember to check NULL for
safety.
</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-sql">
<pre><span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">--</span> field_something can be NULL</span>
<span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">--</span> Bad</span>
<span class="pl-k">SELECT</span> <span class="pl-k">*</span>
<span class="pl-k">FROM</span> table
<span class="pl-k">WHERE</span> field_something <span class="pl-k">!=</span> <span class="pl-c1">1</span>
<span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">--</span> Good</span>
<span class="pl-k">SELECT</span> <span class="pl-k">*</span>
<span class="pl-k">FROM</span> table
<span class="pl-k">WHERE</span> (field_something IS <span class="pl-k">NULL</span> <span class="pl-k">OR</span> field_something <span class="pl-k">!=</span> <span class="pl-c1">1</span>)</pre>

<p>Need clarify why this happpen? Idk :(</p>

<code>VARCHAR</code> or <code>TEXT</code>
</h2>
<p>
Prefer <code>VARCHAR</code> if you need to query and of course use index,
and make sure size of value will never hit the limit. Prefer
<code>TEXT</code> if you don't care, just want to store something.

<p>
Plase read docs about online ddl operations before do anything online
(keep database running the same time update it, for example create index,
...)
