GORM golang SQL query performing case insensitive search not working

Question content

I want to do a case-insensitive search in Golang. I'm using this library.

I have tried the following but it doesn't work.

someId = "abc"
model := abcModel{Id: someId}
result := p.db.Where("lower(id) = lower(?)", someId).Take(&model)

<code>
Id is primary-key here
</code>

I also tried it

db.Where("LOWER(id) LIKE LOWER(?)", fmt.Sprintf("%%%s%%", someId)).Take(&model)

Can anyone help? Not sure what's wrong. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

edit:

This is what I have in the database

id      |          created_at           |          updated_at           | deleted_at |  client_id | ttl  |             client_type              |    token  |          expires_on          
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+------------+--------------------------------------+------+--------------------------------------+
        ABC      | 2023-10-30 16:10:59.614132+00 | 2023-10-30 16:10:59.614132+00 |            |  ae30e377  | 100  | 7da0e618-7393-45c2-94dc-5e7b1d6c1610 |   abc     | 2023-10-30 16:27:39.613566+00

I would expect the above query to return this record in the database since it is a case insensitive search.

The error I received was record not found https://gorm.io/docs/error_handling.html#ErrRecordNotFound

I'm running a Postgres server in a Docker container. https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres

Correct Answer

It’s not clear what p stands for, but here’s one Working example using Take() and Where().Take():

func main() {
    // open connection to postgres
    db, err := gorm.Open(postgres.New(...), &gorm.Config{})
    if err != nil {
        panic("failed to connect database")
    }

    // Get the row
    someId := "abc"
    var result abcModel
    db.Take(&result, "lower(id) = lower(?)", someId)
    // Print the row
    fmt.Println(result)

    // Find the row using Where
    var result2 abcModel
    db.Where("lower(id) = lower(?)", someId).Take(&result2)
    // Print the row
    fmt.Println(result2)

}

Output:

$ go run .
{ABC 2023-10-30 10:00:57.774905 -0700 PDT 2023-10-30 10:00:57.774905 -0700 PDT <nil> ae30e377 100 7da0e618-7393-45c2-94dc-5e7b1d6c1610 abc 2023-10-30 10:00:57.774906 -0700 PDT}
{ABC 2023-10-30 10:00:57.774905 -0700 PDT 2023-10-30 10:00:57.774905 -0700 PDT <nil> ae30e377 100 7da0e618-7393-45c2-94dc-5e7b1d6c1610 abc 2023-10-30 10:00:57.774906 -0700 PDT}

So your original code seems to work, it's just that your error may be related to how p is defined
