Golang : PGX CopyFrom to insert rows into Postgres database




Here is an example of how to use PGX's CopyFrom function to insert rows into Postgres database. The HScodes table is for my own reference, you will need to substitute it with your own table and struct.

Here you go!

 type HScodes struct {
  Sid int `json:"sid" db:"sid"`
  HScode  string `json:"name" db:"hscode"`
  Keyword string `json:"value" db:"keyword"`
 }

 var dataToInsert []models.HScodes

 rowsToInsert := [][]interface{}{}

 for i := 0; i < len(dataToInsert); i++ {
  row := []interface{}{dataToInsert[i].HScode, dataToInsert[i].Keyword}
  rowsToInsert = append(rowsToInsert, row)
 }

 copyCount, err := database.WrapCopyFrom(ctx, pgx.Identifier{"hscodes"},
  []string{"hscode", "keyword"},
  pgx.CopyFromRows(rowsToInsert))

Happy coding!
