レコードの存在を確認し、必要に応じて Go に挿入する方法

package main

import (
    "database/sql"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {

    router := gin.New()
    router.Use(gin.Logger())
    router.Use(gin.Recovery())
    db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "root:password@tcp(gpstest.cksiqniek8yk.ap-south-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306)/tech")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Print(err.Error())
    }
    err = db.Ping()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Print(err.Error())
    }

    // Check if record exists
    var exists bool
    row := db.QueryRow("SELECT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM category WHERE name = 'construction')")
    if err := row.Scan(&exists); err != nil {
        fmt.Print(err.Error())
    }

    // Insert record if not exists
    if !exists {
        if err := db.Exec("INSERT INTO category (name) VALUES ('construction')"); err != nil {
            fmt.Print(err.Error())
        }
    }
}
