	}

    var err error
	eg, err = xorm.NewEngineGroup("postgres", conns, xorm.LeastConnPolicy())
}
```

--------------------------------

### Select examples using builder.Select

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-13/readme

Shows various SELECT queries: simple, with joins, from subquery, from union, with order by, and with limit. Note that for LIMIT you must set a specific dialect.

```go
// Simple Query
sql, args, err := Select("c, d").From("table1").Where(Eq{"a": 1}).ToSQL()
// With join
sql, args, err = Select("c, d").From("table1").LeftJoin("table2", Eq{"table1.id": 1}.And(Lt{"table2.id": 3})).
		RightJoin("table3", "table2.id = table3.tid").Where(Eq{"a": 1}).ToSQL()
// From sub query
sql, args, err := Select("sub.id").From(Select("c").From("table1").Where(Eq{"a": 1}), "sub").Where(Eq{"b": 1}).ToSQL()
// From union query
sql, args, err = Select("sub.id").From(
	Select("id").From("table1").Where(Eq{"a": 1}).Union("all", Select("id").From("table1").Where(Eq{"a": 2})),"sub").
	Where(Eq{"b": 1}).ToSQL()
// With order by
sql, args, err = Select("a", "b", "c").From("table1").Where(Eq{"f1": "v1", "f2": "v2"}).
		OrderBy("a ASC").ToSQL()
// With limit.
// Be careful! You should set up specific dialect for builder before performing a query with LIMIT
sql, args, err = Dialect(MYSQL).Select("a", "b", "c").From("table1").OrderBy("a ASC").
		Limit(5, 10).ToSQL()
```

--------------------------------

### WeightRandomPolicy example

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/3.policy

Creates an engine group with the WeightRandomPolicy, which selects a slave randomly with weights. The weights are provided as a slice of integers, e.g., []int{2, 3}.

```go
import (
    _ "github.com/lib/pq"
    "xorm.io/xorm"
)

var eg *xorm.EngineGroup

func main() {
    conns := []string{
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test?sslmode=disable;",
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test1?sslmode=disable;",
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test2?sslmode=disable",
	}

	var err error
	// set the weights
	eg, err = xorm.NewEngineGroup("postgres", conns, xorm.WeightRandomPolicy([]int{2, 3}))
}
```

--------------------------------

### RoundRobinPolicy example

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/3.policy

Creates an engine group with the RoundRobinPolicy, which selects slaves in a round-robin fashion.

```go
import (
    _ "github.com/lib/pq"
    "xorm.io/xorm"
)

var eg *xorm.EngineGroup

func main() {
    conns := []string{
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test?sslmode=disable;",
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test1?sslmode=disable;",
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test2?sslmode=disable",
	}

}
```

--------------------------------

### WeightRoundRobinPolicy example

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/3.policy

Creates an engine group with the WeightRoundRobinPolicy, which selects slaves in a round-robin fashion with weights. The weights are provided as a slice of integers, e.g., []int{2, 3}.

```go
import (
    _ "github.com/lib/pq"
    "xorm.io/xorm"
)

var eg *xorm.EngineGroup

func main() {
    conns := []string{
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test?sslmode=disable;",
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test1?sslmode=disable;",
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test2?sslmode=disable",
	}

    var err error
    // set the weights
	eg, err = xorm.NewEngineGroup("postgres", conns, xorm.WeightRoundRobinPolicy([]int{2, 3}))
}
```

--------------------------------

### Find with Where and Limit

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/4.find

Combines Find with Where and Limit to filter by condition and paginate. The example fetches users with id > 3, limit 10, offset 20.

```go
var allusers []Userinfo
err := engine.Where("id > ?", "3").Limit(10,20).Find(&allusers) //Get id>3 limit 10 offset 20
```

--------------------------------

	}

    var err error
	eg, err = xorm.NewEngineGroup("postgres", conns, xorm.RandomPolicy())
}
```

--------------------------------

### Set a simple file logger with engine.SetLogger

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/readme

Configures the engine to write logs to a file by creating a file and using log.NewSimpleLogger as the logger. The example shows error handling when creating the file.

```go
f, err := os.Create("sql.log")
if err != nil {
    println(err.Error())
    return
}
engine.SetLogger(log.NewSimpleLogger(f))

```

--------------------------------

### Basic Find into slice and map

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/4.find

Fetches all records into a slice of structs or a map keyed by int64. The map example uses the primary key as the map key.

```go
var everyone []Userinfo
err := engine.Find(&everyone)

users := make(map[int64]Userinfo)
err := engine.Find(&users)
```

--------------------------------

### Get one record by ID or field

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/3.get

Fetches a single record by primary key or by a unique field value. The first example uses the ID field directly or the ID() method, the second uses a name field. Returns a boolean 'has' and an error.

```go
var user = User{ID:27}
has, err := engine.Get(&user)
// or has, err := engine.ID(27).Get(&user)

var user = User{Name:"xlw"}
has, err := engine.Get(&user)
```

--------------------------------

### Select - Specify select part

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/1.conditions

Specifies the select part when using Find, Iterate, or Get.

```go
engine.Select("a.*, (select name from b limit 1) as name").Find(&beans)
```

```go
engine.Select("a.*, (select name from b limit 1) as name").Get(&bean)
```

--------------------------------

### GroupPolicy interface example

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/3.policy

Defines the GroupPolicy interface for implementing a custom load balance policy. The Slave method returns an *Engine based on the *EngineGroup.

```go
type GroupPolicy interface {
	Slave(*EngineGroup) *Engine
}
```

--------------------------------

### Execute SQL query with engine.Query

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-08/readme

Use engine.Query to execute a SELECT SQL statement. It returns results and an error. The example shows a query on the userinfo table.

```go
sql := "select * from userinfo"
results, err := engine.Query(sql)
```

--------------------------------

### Find with struct query

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/4.find

Uses a struct as a query condition to filter results. The example fetches all users with Name="xlw", limit 10, offset 0.

```go
var tenusers []Userinfo
err := engine.Limit(10).Find(&tenusers, &Userinfo{Name:"xlw"}) //Get All Name="xlw" limit 10 offset 0
```

--------------------------------

### Soft delete behavior with Delete() and Get()

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-07/1.deleted

Demonstrates that calling `Delete()` on a record with a `deleted` tag updates the `deleted_at` field instead of removing the row. Subsequent `Get()` calls return `false, nil`, and repeated `Delete()` calls return `0, nil`.

```go
var user User
engine.ID(1).Get(&user)
// SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = ?
engine.ID(1).Delete(&user)
// UPDATE user SET ..., deleted_at = ? WHERE id = ?
engine.ID(1).Get(&user)
// Call Get again, this time it will return false, nil
engine.ID(1).Delete(&user)
// Call delete again, it will return 0, nil
```

--------------------------------

### Find with Cols to select specific columns

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/4.find

Uses the Cols function to select only specified columns. The example fetches only the id and name columns.

```go
var tenusers []Userinfo
err := engine.Cols("id", "name").Find(&tenusers) //Find only id and name
```

--------------------------------

### NoAutoCondition example

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/2.overrides

Shows the difference between default behavior and using NoAutoCondition. The first query automatically adds the bean's ID condition, while the second disables that automatic condition.

```go
engine.Where("name = ?", "lunny").Get(&User{ID:1})
// SELECT * FROM user where name='lunny' AND id = 1 LIMIT 1
engine.Where("name = ?", "lunny").NoAutoCondition().Get(&User{ID:1})
// SELECT * FROM user where name='lunny' LIMIT 1
```

--------------------------------

### Perform optimistic lock update

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-06/1.lock

The version starts at 1 upon insertion. Ensure the original version value is present when calling Update to trigger the optimistic lock check.

```go
var user User
engine.ID(1).Get(&user)
// SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = ?
engine.ID(1).Update(&user)
// UPDATE user SET ..., version = version + 1 WHERE id = ? AND version = ?
```

--------------------------------

### Find single column into slice of ints

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/4.find

Fetches a single column into a slice of int64 using Table and Cols. The example retrieves all ids from the user table.

```go
var ints []int64
err := engine.Table("user").Cols("id").Find(&ints)
```

--------------------------------

### Insert record with created tag

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-04/1.created

When calling `Insert()` or `InsertOne()`, the `CreatedAt` field is automatically filled with `time.Now()` (or `time.Now().Unix()` for integer fields). The example shows inserting a user and the resulting SQL comment.

```go
var user User
engine.Insert(&user)
// INSERT user (created...) VALUES (?...)

```

--------------------------------

### Retrieve and permanently delete with Unscoped()

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-07/1.deleted

Use `Unscoped()` to bypass soft delete and retrieve a soft-deleted record with `Get()` (returns `true, nil`) or permanently delete it with `Delete()`.

```go
var user User
engine.ID(1).Unscoped().Get(&user)
// Then you will return true, nil
engine.ID(1).Unscoped().Delete(&user)
// Then this record will be really deleted
```

--------------------------------

### Find with In function

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/4.find

Uses the In function to filter records where the specified column value is in a given list. The example fetches all users with id in (1, 3, 5).

```go
var tenusers []Userinfo
err := engine.In("id", 1, 3, 5).Find(&tenusers) //Get All id in (1, 3, 5)
```

--------------------------------

### Clear cache after Exec with engine.ClearCache

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-11/readme

Shows how to clear the cache after using the Exec method. When using Exec, you should clear the cache to avoid stale data. The example updates a user record and then clears the cache for the User type.

```go
engine.Exec("update user set name = ? where id = ?", "xlw", 1)
engine.ClearCache(new(User))

```

--------------------------------

### Sum method: sum a column with condition

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/9.sums

Use the Sum method to calculate the sum of a column (e.g., "money") with a SQL condition. The result is returned as a float64. The example defines a SumStruct with Id, Money, and Rate fields and uses engine.Where("id >?", 1) to filter rows.

```go
type SumStruct struct {
    Id int64
    Money int
    Rate float32
}

ss := new(SumStruct)
var err error
var total float64
total, err = engine.Where("id >?", 1).Sum(ss, "money")
fmt.Printf("money is %d", int(total))

```

--------------------------------

### Sums method: sum multiple columns with condition

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/9.sums

Use the Sums method to calculate the sum of multiple columns (e.g., "money" and "rate") with a SQL condition. The results are returned as a slice of float64. The example uses engine.Where("id >?", 1) to filter rows.

```go
ss := new(SumStruct)
var err error
var totals []float64
totals, err = engine.Where("id >?", 1).Sums(ss, "money", "rate")

fmt.Printf("money is %d, rate is %.2f", int(total[0]), total[1])

```

--------------------------------

### SumInt method: sum an integer column with condition

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/9.sums

Use the SumInt method to calculate the sum of an integer column (e.g., "money") with a SQL condition. The result is returned as an int64. The example defines a SumStruct and uses engine.Where("id >?", 1) to filter rows.

```go
type SumStruct struct {
    Id int64
    Money int
    Rate float32
}

ss := new(SumStruct)
total, err:= engine.Where("id >?", 1).SumInt(ss, "money")
fmt.Printf("money is %d", total)

```

--------------------------------

### Set xorm time zone with engine.TZLocation

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-04/1.created

Change the time zone used by xorm for the `created` tag. By default, xorm uses the local time zone; setting `engine.TZLocation` overrides it. The example loads the Asia/Shanghai location.

```go
engine.TZLocation, _ = time.LoadLocation("Asia/Shanghai")

```

--------------------------------

### SumsInt method: sum multiple integer columns with condition

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/9.sums

Use the SumsInt method to calculate the sum of multiple integer columns (e.g., "money") with a SQL condition. The results are returned as a slice of int64. The example uses engine.Where("id >?", 1) to filter rows.

```go
ss := new(SumStruct)
var err error
var totals []int64
totals, err = engine.Where("id >?", 1).SumsInt(ss, "money")

fmt.Printf("money is %d", total[0])

```

--------------------------------

### Log to syslog with engine.SetLogger

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/readme

Sets up logging to syslog using the syslog package. Creates a syslog writer with LOG_DEBUG priority and a tag, then wraps it in a simple logger with ShowSQL enabled before assigning it to the engine.

```go
logWriter, err := syslog.New(syslog.LOG_DEBUG, "rest-xorm-example")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("Fail to create xorm system logger: %v\n", err)
}

logger := log.NewSimpleLogger(logWriter)
logger.ShowSQL(true)
engine.SetLogger(logger)

```

--------------------------------

### Create EngineGroup with connection strings

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/2.engine_group

Initializes an EngineGroup by passing a driver name and a slice of connection strings, where the first string is treated as the master.

```go
import (
    _ "github.com/lib/pq"
    "xorm.io/xorm"
)

var eg *xorm.EngineGroup

func main() {
	conns := []string{
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test?sslmode=disable;", // first one is master
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test1?sslmode=disable;", // slave
		"postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test2?sslmode=disable", // slave
	}

    var err error
	eg, err = xorm.NewEngineGroup("postgres", conns)
}
```

--------------------------------

### Transaction with session.Begin() and session.Commit()

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-10/readme

Use this snippet to wrap multiple database operations in a transaction. Create a session with engine.NewSession(), call session.Begin() before any action, and session.Commit() after all actions. Remember to defer session.Close() and call session.Rollback() on any error.

```go
session := engine.NewSession()
defer session.Close()

// add Begin() before any action
err := session.Begin()
user1 := Userinfo{Username: "xiaoxiao", Departname: "dev", Alias: "lunny", Created: time.Now()}
_, err = session.Insert(&user1)
if err != nil {
    session.Rollback()
    return
}
user2 := Userinfo{Username: "yyy"}
_, err = session.Where("id = ?", 2).Update(&user2)
if err != nil {
    session.Rollback()
    return
}

_, err = session.Exec("delete from userinfo where username = ?", user2.Username)
if err != nil {
    session.Rollback()
    return
}

// add Commit() after all actions
err = session.Commit()
if err != nil {
    return
}

```

--------------------------------

### Create multiple SQLite engines with xorm.NewEngine

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/readme

Creates ten SQLite engines in a loop using the mattn/go-sqlite3 driver. Each engine connects to a separate database file named test0.db through test9.db. The engines are stored in a slice.

```go
import (
    _ "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
    "xorm.io/xorm"
)

var engines []*xorm.Engine

func main() {
    for i:=0; i < 10; i++ {
        engine, err := xorm.NewEngine("sqlite3", fmt.Sprintf("./test%d.db", i))
        engines = append(engines, engine)
    }
}

```

--------------------------------

### Create a MySQL engine with xorm.NewEngine

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/readme

Creates a single XORM engine for a MySQL database using the go-sql-driver/mysql driver. The connection string follows the format used by sql.Open. The engine is stored in a package-level variable for later use.

```go
import (
    _ "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql"
    "xorm.io/xorm"
)

var engine *xorm.Engine

func main() {
    var err error
    engine, err = xorm.NewEngine("mysql", "root:123@/test?charset=utf8")
}

```

--------------------------------

### Implement the Conversion interface

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-02/4.columns

Define custom mapping rules between struct fields and database data by implementing the Conversion interface.

```go
type Conversion interface {
    FromDB([]byte) error
    ToDB() ([]byte, error)
}
```

--------------------------------

### Create EngineGroup with Engine instances

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-01/2.engine_group

Initializes an EngineGroup by explicitly creating master and slave Engine instances first.

```go
import (
    _ "github.com/lib/pq"
    "xorm.io/xorm"
)

var eg *xorm.EngineGroup

func main() {
    var err error
    master, err := xorm.NewEngine("postgres", "postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test?sslmode=disable")
    if err != nil {

	}

    slave2, err := xorm.NewEngine("postgres", "postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/test2?sslmode=disable")
    if err != nil {
		return
	}

   	slaves := []*xorm.Engine{slave1, slave2}
	eg, err = xorm.NewEngineGroup(master, slaves)
}
```

--------------------------------

### AllCols - Query or update all columns

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-05/1.conditions

Queries or updates all columns.

```go
engine.AllCols().ID(1).Update(&user)
// UPDATE user SET name = ?, age =?, gender =? WHERE id = 1
```

--------------------------------

### Define User struct with version tag

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-06/1.lock

Add the `xorm:"version"` tag to an integer field in your struct to enable optimistic locking.

```go
type User struct {
    Id int64
    Name string
    Version int `xorm:"version"`
}
```

--------------------------------

```

--------------------------------

### Query with composite primary key

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-15/readme

Use the xorm.PK type to specify multiple primary key values in the ID method.

```go
    engine.ID(xorm.PK{1, 2})
```

--------------------------------

### Execute raw SQL for complex joins

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-15/readme

Use the SQL method for complex join statements that are difficult to express with the Join builder.

```go
err := engine.SQL("select * from userinfo, userdetail where userinfo.detail_id = userdetail.id").Find(&users)

//assert(User.Userinfo.Id != 0 && User.Userdetail.Id != 0)
```

Compositing multiple structs to retrieve fields from both User and Group tables.

```go
type UserGroup struct {
    User `xorm:"extends"`
    Group `xorm:"extends"`
}

func (UserGroup) TableName() string {
	return "user"
}

var users []UserGroup

Applying Where clauses and additional conditions to a join query.

```go
engine.Table("user").Join("INNER", "group", "group.id = user.group_id").
	Join("INNER", "type", "type.id = user.type_id").
	Where("user.name like ?", "%"+name+"%").Find(&users, &User{Name:name})
```

--------------------------------

### Execute SQL update command

Source: https://xorm.io/docs/chapter-09/readme

Use the Exec method to perform SQL operations like update, insert, or delete. The method returns the result and an error.

```go
sql := "update userinfo set username=? where id=?"
res, err := engine.Exec(sql, "xiaolun", 1)
```

--------------------------------

### Gt, Gte, Lt, Lte: Comparison conditions

    Id int64
    Name string
    DetailId int64
}

type Userdetail struct {
    Id int64
    Gender int
}

type User struct {
