I am working with a database that has a huge dataset of a single type with a lot of fields. Other applications modify this dataset, and fields might be added or removed. Is there a way to make gorm work with another datastructre than static structs?
What I am looking for would effectively be the inverse of autoMigrate, to make my code conform to the existing database. I am only looking to query the db, not change any of the data
type Jpeg struct {
ID string
Gpssatelites string
ApertureValue string
BodySerialNumber string
ColorSpace string
Compression string
CustomRendered string
//about 50 jpeg values at the moment
}
func getJpeg(args) Jpeg{
var jpeg Jpeg
db.Take(&jpeg, args)
return jpeg
}
I have tested a bit with maps, interfaces and other suggestions to similar problems, but I end up with the error "unsupported destination, should be slice or struct". Databases do change from time to time, is there really no way to have the internal models conform to whatever database you connect to. Is there perhaps better alternatives for what I am trying to achieve?
