So im starting to learn GoLang and noticed theres a KDB package. https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sv/kdbgo

Im wondering if anyone here has experience and can help. Im trying to query a table and convert to an object the program knows about.

This site has a good example to insert and select data from kdb process.

Here is an updated example from that site to show selecting kdb data in go process and storing that in go structure.

 

KDB trade table

 

q)trade 
time sym price 
--------------------------------------- 
2015.10.19D18:40:22.982760448 a 100 
2009.02.21D21:21:02.534721216 b 200

 

 

Go Code

 

package main import ( "time" "fmt" kdb "github.com/sv/kdbgo" ) 
// Go struct to store KDB table type trade struct { Ts time.Time Sym string Price int64 } 
// Function to convert KDB data to GO struct 
func tableToStruct(tbl kdb.Table) []trade {
var data = []trade{} 
rowCount := int(tbl.Data[0].Len()) 
for i := 0; i < rowCount; i++ {
 rec := trade{
Ts: tbl.Data[0].Index(i).(time.Time), 
Sym: tbl.Data[1].Index(i).(string), 
Price: tbl.Data[2].Index(i).(int64)
} 
data = append(data, rec) 
}
return data
} 

func main() { 
con, err := kdb.DialKDB("localhost", 5000, "") 
if err != nil { 
fmt.Println("Failed to connect: %v", err) 
}

ktbl, err := con.Call("select time, sym, price from trade")
if err != nil 
{ 
fmt.Println("Query failed: %v", err) 
return 
}

series := tableToStruct(ktbl.Data.(kdb.Table)) 
for _, v := range series 
{ 
fmt.Printf("Timestamp: %v | Sym: %v | Price: %v n", v.Ts, v.Sym, v.Price) 
} 
con.Close()
 }

 

Go Output:

$ go run go-kdb.go

Timestamp: 2015-10-19 18:40:22.982760448 +0000 UTC | Sym: a | Price: 100

Timestamp: 2009-02-21 21:21:02.534721216 +0000 UTC | Sym: b | Price: 200
