Recent improvements to the pressly/goose migration tool
In v3.16.0 we added a new Provider feature that unlocks the ability to implement a lot of highly requested features. More details in the blog post:
- How are y'all that are using raw sql doing DB Migrations?
- Why elixir over Golang
- Is there a similar tool or alternative in Go like strong_migrations?
-
How do you handle migrations ?
Next try https://github.com/pressly/goose We have this setup to be run by the CI-CD pipeline to be run before the application is started. BTW, this utility is compatible with https://sqlc.dev , so they work good together.

Does this project structure make sense?
For database migration I recommend https://github.com/pressly/goose As it works with sqlc and is a powerful tool for complex migrations. This is something a lot of ORMs are really weak with. I was on a large project with Gorm as the ORM and what a nightmare when we pushed to production!

A beginner's guide to creating a web-app in Go using Ent
I'm using .sql migration files with tooling similar to https://github.com/pressly/goose . Is there a way to manage my schema with my pre-existing tooling and my queries/CRUD operations with Ent/Atlas?

Show HN: Sqlbind a Python library to compose raw SQL
I came across this yesterday for golang: https://sqlc.dev which is somewhat like what you want, maybe.
Not sure it allows you to parameterize table names but the basic idea is codegen from sql queries so you are working with go code (autocompletion etc).

ORMs are nice but they are the wrong abstraction
Agreed, but tools like https://sqlc.dev, which I mention in the article, are a good trade-off that allows you to have verified, testable, SQL in your code.

Go ORMs Compared
sqlc is not strictly a conventional ORM. It offers a unique approach by generating Go code from SQL queries. This allows developers to write SQL, which sqlc then converts into type-safe Go code, reducing the boilerplate significantly. It ensures that your queries are syntactically correct and type-safe. sqlc is ideal for those who prefer writing SQL and are looking for an efficient way to integrate it into a Go application.

Type-safe Data Access in Go using Prisma and sqlc
I was browsing awesome-go for ideas on how to setup my data access layer when I stumbled on sqlc. It seemed like a great option. Code generation is a strategy often used in the Go ecosystem and making my queries safe at compile time was an idea I really liked. Knex was great, but it required of me that I test thoroughly my queries at runtime and that I sanitize my query results to ensure type safety within my application.
