How do I set up sqlmock in my Go project?

To set up sqlmock, first install it using go get github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock. Then, you can create a mock database connection.

Can you show me a code example of how to use it?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

package main

import (
    "database/sql"
    "github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock"
)

func main() {
    db, mock, err := sqlmock.New()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer db.Close()
    
    // Your mock expectations here
}

What are some common use cases for sqlmock?

Common use cases include testing database interactions without needing a real database, ensuring queries are executed as expected, and validating results.
