Redigo pool with database selection (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25708256/golang-selecting-db-on-a-redispool-in-redigo)

gistfile1.go

// a pool embedding the original pool and adding adbno state
type DbnoPool struct {
   redis.Pool
   dbno int
}


// "overriding" the Get method
func (p *DbnoPool)Get() Connection {
   conn := p.Pool.Get()
   conn.Do("SELECT", p.dbno)
   return conn
}

pool := &DbnoPool {
    redis.Pool{
        MaxIdle:   80,
        MaxActive: 12000, // max number of connections
        Dial: func() (redis.Conn, error) {
        c, err := redis.Dial("tcp", host+":"+port)
        if err != nil {
            panic(err.Error())
        }
        return c, err
    },
    3, // the db number
}

//now you call it normally
conn := pool.Get()
defer conn.Close()
