Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

We Went All in on Sqlc/Pgx for Postgres and Go
I like SQL queries as strings but I also like my IDE to syntax check them ... Since there are already so many kinds to projects in this thread I'll happily introduce fileconst which provides the best of both worlds - https://github.com/PennState/fileconst.

Ask HN: ORM or Native SQL?
Cornucopia is neat. I wrote a similar library in Go [1] so I'm very interested in comparing design decisions.
The pros of the generated code per query approach:
- App code is coupled to query outputs and inputs (an API of sorts), not database tables. Therefore, you can refactor your DB without changing app code.
- Real SQL with the full breadth of DB features.
- Real type-checking with what the DB supports.
The cons:
- Type mapping is surprisingly hard to get right, especially with composite types and arrays and custom type converters. For example, a query might return multiple jsonb columns but the app code wants to parse them into different structs.
- Dynamic queries don't work with prepared statements. Prepared statements only support values, not identifiers or scalar SQL sub-queries, so the codegen layer needs a mechanism to template SQL. I haven't built this out yet but would like to.

What are the things with Go that have made you wish you were back in Spring/.NET/Django etc?
pggen is another fantastic library in this genre, which specifically targets postgres. It is driven by pgx. Can not recommend enough.

Exiting the Vietnam of Programming: Our Journey in Dropping the ORM (In Golang)
> Do you write out 120 "INSERT" statements, 120 "UPDATE" statements, 120 "DELETE" statements as raw strings
Yes. For example: https://github.com/jschaf/pggen/blob/main/example/erp/order/....
> that is also using an ORM
ORM as a term covers a wide swathe of usage. In the smallest definition, an ORM converts DB tuples to Go structs. In common usage, most folks use ORM to mean a generic query builder plus the type conversion from tuples to structs. For other usages, I prefer the Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture terms [1] like data-mapper, active record, and table-data gateway.

Back to basics: Writing an application using Go and PostgreSQL
You might like pggen (I’m the author) which only supports Postgres and pgx. https://github.com/jschaf/pggen
pggen occupies the same design space as sqlc but the implementations are quite different. Sqlc figures out the query types using type inference in Go which is nice because you don’t need Postgres at build time. Pggen asks Postgres what the query types are which is nice because it works with any extensions and arbitrarily complex queries.

How We Went All In on sqlc/pgx for Postgres + Go
Any reason to use sqlc over pggen ? If you use Postgres, it seems like the superior option.

What are your favorite packages to use?
Agree with your choices, except go-json which I never tried. pggen is fantastic. Love that library. The underlying driver, pgx, is also really well written.

I don't want to learn your garbage query language
You might like the approach I took with pggen[1] which was inspired by sqlc[2]. You write a SQL query in regular SQL and the tool generates a type-safe Go querier struct with a method for each query.
The primary benefit of pggen and sqlc is that you don't need a different query model; it's just SQL and the tools automate the mapping between database rows and Go structs.

What is the best way to use PostgreSQL with Go?
I created pggen a few weeks ago to create my preferred method of database interaction: I write real SQL queries and I use generated, type-safe Go interfaces to the queries. https://github.com/jschaf/pggen
What are some alternatives?
ccgo
sqlc - Generate type-safe code from SQL
gnorm - A database-first code generator for any language
SQLBoiler - Generate a Go ORM tailored to your database schema.
pggen - A database first code generator focused on postgres
sqlpp11 - A type safe SQL template library for C++
pike - Generate CRUD gRPC backends from single YAML description.
goyesql - Parse SQL files with multiple named queries and automatically prepare and scan them into structs.
SqlKata Query Builder - SQL query builder, written in c#, helps you build complex queries easily, supports SqlServer, MySql, PostgreSql, Oracle, Sqlite and Firebird
