How can I use the Go SQL driver for advanced database operations?

You can use the Go SQL driver to perform advanced operations like transactions, prepared statements, and connection pooling. What specific operation are you interested in?

Can you explain how to implement transactions?

Sure! To implement transactions, you can use the Begin() method to start a transaction, then use Commit() or Rollback() to finalize it. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for transactions.

Here's a simple example:

func performTransaction(db *sql.DB) error {
    tx, err := db.Begin()
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    // Perform your database operations here
    if err := tx.Commit(); err != nil {
        return err
    }
    return nil
}

This code starts a transaction, performs operations, and commits the transaction.

What about using prepared statements?

Prepared statements can be created using the Prepare() method, which helps in executing the same query multiple times efficiently. Would you like to see an example?
