In this video, you'll learn the pros and cons of 4 different ways to interact with an SQL database in Go, by comparing squirrel vs raw queries vs sqlc vs sqlx.
sqlc is my favorite, because has the highest performance (my benchmarks). I use it with a million users in mysql and postgres. You also have more control over your queries since you write them by hand. Good video!!! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I've actually been using sqlx or the std library more, since I've found I had to modify the sqlc code for some edge cases. But if it works for you, that's what's important!! 😊
I don't think I have the code snippets publicly available, but I'll try to find them and update the description with the link to the repo! Thank you for watching! 🙏
If you build the query manually, yes. I said in the video that it's a possibility, but not if you build the query in the correct way (e.g. with question marks and the values as arguments).
That's true too, the language name itself is kinda bad for search engines, which is ironic since Google created it 😄 everything else is amazing about the language
Thank you for sharing this. I can only imagine the analysis that went into sorting the pros and cons. Thank you again for speeding out thinking cycle up 🫡
