go-postgis

PostGIS support for Go. Works with any Postgres driver.

Example

package main

import (
	"database/sql"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/cridenour/go-postgis"
	_ "github.com/lib/pq"
)

func main() {
	db, _ := sql.Open("postgres", "database=pqgotest sslmode=disable")

	point := postgis.PointS{
		SRID: 4326,
		X:    -84.5014,
		Y:    39.1064,
	}
	var newPoint postgis.PointS

	// Ensure we have PostGIS on the table
	db.Exec("CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis")

	// Demonstrate both driver.Valuer and sql.Scanner support
	db.QueryRow("SELECT GeomFromEWKB($1);", point).Scan(&newPoint)

	if point == newPoint {
		fmt.Println("Point returned equal from PostGIS!")
	}
}
