Go - SQL Databases in Golang with the database/sql package

Playlist ▶️:    • Go Programming  

In this video, we'll look at the database/sql package in Go, and how to use this package to work with SQL relational databases.

We will look at how to connect to a PostgreSQL database running in a Docker container, and how to create tables, insert data and query data using the Go database package. We'll look at the difference between three database functions:

db.Exec()
db.Query()
db.QueryRow()

And will outline when to use each.
