Show HN: My Go SQLite driver did poorly on a benchmark, so I fixed it
> I would've probably picked the modernc variation
Heads up about the modernc library, it has been stuck on an old version of sqlite for several months [1]. It seems like maintainer time is the limiting factor [2]. There has been a call to arms on that issue page, the maintainer is looking for help, but it looks like not much has arrived. It seems like it might trace back to blockers in the C-to-Go compiler.
It's a major undertaking and a very impressive piece of work, but I'm not surprised it's a struggle when big roadblocks get hit. I hope they find a way to progress, but I'm very relieved to be seeing some CGo-free alternatives like ncruces/go-sqlite3 emerging. I'm going to give it a try for sure and see if I can live with the compromises.
Squinn-go looks very compelling too, but I don't like that it requires the squinn binary to already be installed on a user's machine, I think that gives with one hand and takes with the other: sure, I get to avoid CGo, but I also lose the turnkey, single-command install, static build benefits Go brings out of the box.
Seconding the point about nitty gritty, I'd read it for sure too!

Show HN: Sqinn-Go is a Golang library for accessing SQLite databases in pure Go
No, but that has the disadvantage of being C compiled into Go, then being compiled into native executable.
I'm actually surprised by how readable this came out; props to the Go->C compiler author. But you can guess that pushing this sort of thing through the Go compiler is going to cause some slowdowns due to sheer paradigm mismatch: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/blob/master/lib/sqlite_lin...

Show HN: MongoDB Protocol for SQLite
FWIW, we use a version of SQLite transpiled into Go to avoid CGI problems: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite

Go port of SQLite without CGo
It could be clearer in the readme, but note that this is a machine translation from C to Go, repeated for every OS-Arch pair. Example of the one you're most likely to use in production: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/blob/master/lib/sqlite_linux_amd64.go

Databases: 2021 in Review and Predictions for 2022
I keep reaching for SQLite and it keeps working. Although I've been needing a better review of what other embedded databases I should be considering in 2022. I tried Genji[1] recently and tore it out as it wasn't doing ORDER BY with multiple columns.

- Genji – Document-oriented, embedded SQL database written in Go

Open Source Databases in Go
Genji is a document-oriented, embedded, SQL database. It is build over Pebble which is a port of RocksDB in Go, by the authors of CockroachDB.

Looking for: library to turn SQL (or abstracted) to code & execute against custom backend (slice of structs)
Use sth like https://github.com/genjidb/genji, which is an embedded DB with SQL

Embedded database options
Another option could be also Genji - https://github.com/genjidb/genji

Alternative to MongoDB?
There is Genji, this is a document-oriented embedded SQL database written in Go. It's still a work in progress though, but it looks great!
