How do I use the Go SQL driver for database operations?

You can use the Go SQL driver by importing the database/sql package and a specific driver like pq for PostgreSQL. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for connecting to a PostgreSQL database.

Here's a simple example:

package main

import (
    "database/sql"
    _ "github.com/lib/pq"
    "log"
)

func main() {
    connStr := "user=username dbname=mydb sslmode=disable"
    db, err := sql.Open("postgres", connStr)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer db.Close()
    // Now you can use db to perform operations.
}

What are some common operations I can perform with the Go SQL driver?

You can perform various operations like querying data, inserting records, updating records, and deleting records using methods like Query, Exec, and Prepare.
