jackc/pgx: error handling

[Larry Rosenman]

I'm translating an OLD program from lib/pq to pgx, but when I copy the "Error Handling" code, I get:
./ambientProgram.go:164:16: db.PgError undefined (type *pgx.Conn has no field or method PgError) ./ambientProgram.go:210:18: db.PgError undefined (type *pgx.Conn has no field or method PgError)

I get the connection by:
db, err := pgx.Connect(context.Background(), connStr)

and pass it to:
func populatedb(macaddr string, db *pgx.Conn, endtime time.Time)

How do I get to the error stuff?

Thanks!

I found my error with some help on a slack channel.  Thanks, though.

I had a misunderstanding of what imports needed to be included, and a fundamental misunderstanding of type vs field.

I added an import of:
github.com/jackc/pgconn

and changed the declaration to

var pgError *pgconn.PgError

and now I'm fine.
