SQL Database Adapter

Getting Help
1

Hey,

I am new to the Go community and asking myself if there is something like a sql adapter that supports multiple backends?

Something I can reconfigure it in different environments by injecting environment variables. An equivalent in the node.js world would be Knex.

Thanks

The standard package database/sql comes with a list of database drivers. If the standard sql package is too bare-bone for your taste, try sqlx, or look here and here for inspiration.

Okay, but wouldn’t a “true” sql adapter wrap the queries instead of accepting pure sql to make sure it works with all backends?

Hey @21stio,

I think you might be looking for something like gorm: https://github.com/jinzhu/gorm.
