Introduction​

Executing a SQL query using gorm is pretty trivial. Normally this is what I'd do:

1. Write a proto struct that matches the DB table schema
2. Run query using gorm and Scan into the struct

var auditDb *pb.DataInjectionAuditLogDb
if err := orm.DataHelperDbInstance(g.c).Raw(q).Scan(&auditDb).Error; err != nil {
    hlog.CtxErrorf(g.c, err.Error())
    return nil, err
}

3. Done

However, what if we do not know the schema, or it is virtually impossible to create a struct for all of them?

Huh?!

If you want to host some ever-running script, what option do you have?

1. Run on your laptop, and never sleep / off it (??)
2. Get a Raspberry Pi (ugh.. overkill)
3. Pay a few dollars to host it somewhere (few dollars to host something so small.. worth?)
4. Ask your friend to run on his/her laptop and never off it.

Option 4 seems to be the best option if you manage to convince.

Fortunately I have the opportunity of abusing my personal VM at work. I mean, not abusing, it's somewhat related to work too. I'm sure.
