I am scanning database tables into a structure explicitly (with
&struct.field) that works just fine (working path below).
But my tables have different columns, so I am working to generalize the
API. There are two methods that build and reverse a []interface{} to be
supplied to scan. I have listed them in the problem path. The last item
is the people data in the use case.
It scans every column correctly except the first one that is the ID.
The problem path always returns zero for the ID field while the working
path works fine. I have been staring at it for a day and experimenting
with different ideas but no success
Any thoughts?
//=. Working Path =
//Person is the target for scan.
type Person struct {
ID int
Name string
Email string
HashedPassword string
Createdtime.Time
Role string
Active bool
Online bool
}
//inside the "get" method to get the data
person := broker.Person{}
for rows.Next() {
err := rows.Scan(&person.ID, &person.Name, &person.Email, //g...)
&person.HashedPassword, &person.Created, &person.Active)
if err != nil {
if errors.Is(err, sql.ErrNoRows) {
return broker.ErrNoRecord
}
return err
}
newPeople = append(newPeople, person)
//=. Problem Path =
person := broker.Person{}
g := person.GetItems(e.Get)
for rows.Next() {
err := rows.Scan(g...)
if err != nil {
if errors.Is(err, sql.ErrNoRows) {
return broker.ErrNoRecord
}
return err
}
person.GetBack(e.Get, g)
newPeople = append(newPeople, person)

//sql.Execute statement for the INSERT sql command.
