I have to make my database password protected as a task in my school. For example if anyone tries to access my database it will ask the password.
I am trying to use go-sqlite3 package and I have tried reading the official guide.
First step is to use go build --tags <FEATURE>
.
It gaves me an error build .: cannot find module for path .
I dont know why and what are we building in the first place. I tried searching for practical examples also and didnt found any.
Can you explain to me how I can setup user authentication for my database using the golangs go-sqlite3 package?
Link to the package
You need to replace <FEATURE>
in that instruction by extension name(s) you want to enable from table below (Seems there's an error in README and it has sqlite_
prefix stripped in example; build tag is indeed sqlite_userauth
).
So, to enable user authentication that will be go build -tags "sqlite_userauth"
.
In your project with go-sqlite3
module dependency just make sure that you build with -tags sqlite_userauth
.
Here is minimal example showing how you would work with this in your project:
mkdir sqlite3auth
cd sqlite3auth
go mod init sqlite3auth
touch main.go
main.go:
package main
import (
"database/sql"
"log"
"github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
)
func main() {
// This is not necessary; just to see if auth extension is enabled
sql.Register("sqlite3_log", &sqlite3.SQLiteDriver{
ConnectHook: func(conn *sqlite3.SQLiteConn) error {
log.Printf("Auth enabled: %v\n", conn.AuthEnabled())
return nil
},
})
// This is usual DB stuff (except with our sqlite3_log driver)
db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3_log", "file:test.db?_auth&_auth_user=admin&_auth_pass=admin")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer db.Close()
_, err = db.Exec(`select 1`)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
