goprisma VS go-sqlite

Check out https://github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite if you're interested in trying out Sqlite in Go again. Nice interface, negligible compile time impact, fast, compiles without CGO. It's very comfortable.

I agree that going from text to sqlite is a bit of a hurdle, especially if you're not writing C :)

struggling figuring out how to make my cgo sqlite cross-compile to Windows

Plenty of people trying to fix that.

There's at least:

https://modernc.org/sqlite

Then there's https://github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite that actually builds https://crawshaw.io/sqlite on top of modernc.

And there's mine that has both a low level and a database/sql driver builds and runs everywhere Go does: https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3

There are several different Go bindings for SQLite. I maintain https://pkg.go.dev/zombiezen.com/go/sqlite

I like and use https://github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite for CGo-free SQLite. It avoids some of the problems database/sql has, discussed here: https://crawshaw.io/blog/go-and-sqlite.

> C libraries are required to interact with SQLite

Or: modernc.org/sqlite (https://github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite), "an automatically generated translation of the original C source code of SQLite into Go"

https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite via https://pkg.go.dev/zombiezen.com/go/sqlite

modernc.org/sqlite provides a database/sql driver, but does not (currently) provide an easy way to get at the more advanced functionality of SQLite, like streaming blob I/O or user-defined functions. David Crawshaw has argued that the database/sql API is not a good fit for SQLite, which is how crawshaw.io/sqlite came about.
