Write Driver

Write new driver

GORM provides official support for sqlite, mysql, postgres, sqlserver.

Some databases may be compatible with the mysql or postgres dialect, in which case you could just use the dialect for those databases.

For others, you can create a new driver, it needs to implement the dialect interface.

type Dialector interface {
  Name() string
  Initialize(*DB) error
  Migrator(db *DB) Migrator
  DataTypeOf(*schema.Field) string
  DefaultValueOf(*schema.Field) clause.Expression
  BindVarTo(writer clause.Writer, stmt *Statement, v interface{})
  QuoteTo(clause.Writer, string)
  Explain(sql string, vars ...interface{}) string
}
