What SQL library are you using?
I usually work with PostgreSQL and have used https://github.com/go-pg/pg. https://github.com/uptrace/bun is its successor.

Clean Transactions in Golang Hexagon
And it is go-pg. I personally really like it as a query builder (rather than an ORM) and it has good performance. It has one feature which I'll tell you about next, without which I would have struggled to implement what I had in mind. But this feature is available in other libraries too, so don't rush to rewrite your code.

SQL Query Strategy for complex structs
bun and go-pg both seem to work fairly well for these kind of purposes.

Connecting with database
For database communication we will use go-pg module. You can install it by running go get github.com/go-pg/pg/v10. This will install version 10 of go-pg module, which is latest version at the time of writing this guide. Now create new directory internal/database/ and file database.go inside of it.

How much do you agree completely switching from Java to Go? I have total 9yrs of experience in Java but now I am interested in Go.
gorm.io/gorm`, or `github.com/go-pg/pg` if you need something more feature-rich. I would avoid using `go-kit` and `go-micro` "frameworks" unless you have some special requirement for it. But you can take a look to have an idea of what Go "framework" may look like.

Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
It uses Gin as the HTTP framework and PostgreSQL as the database with pgx as the driver and Squirrel as the query builder. It also utilizes Redis as the caching layer with go-redis as the client.

I would add Squirrel to PGX https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel

how to avoid writing dreadful SQL statements
I have written about this before, and my thoughts always settle on using a query builder. I've built a simple one, which works for what I need, but there are more feature complete ones out there such as squirrel. I've also written about how you can implement a simple CRUD library for database interactions using generics and query building to have that nice middle-ground between an ORM and query building.

How do I enable filters for the user without writing redundant SQL?
Now for the dynamic queries you have to be really careful to prevent SQL injections, there are bunch of different ways to do it but I typically recommend using a package such as squirrel that lets you do this easily, you use it to generate the plain SQL you need (and then use sqlx, database/sql, pgx or whatever you prefer) or use it directly querying the database directly.

Best sqlc alternative for dynamic queries?
Here are 2 options for you * https://github.com/huandu/go-sqlbuilder * https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel

Golang RESTAPI boilerplate repository
https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/vq98ud/what_sql_library_are_you_using/ Jet havn't used but is one that looks promising! Otherwise I'm one of the purests, db/sql and https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel
-
Why is Raw SQL preferred over ORM in go?
I think he means an sql builder like squirrel. This allows dynamic queries, but more important you can reuse function that build a where clause so you can get a count and query with that.
-
Does Go, has something similar to Laravel eloquent (ORM) ?
I'd rather suggest the use of tools more aligned with the core concepts of the language such as sqlx, which is an extension of the database/sql standard library. It allows you to use models/structs to map your tables but you have more control over the SQL statements you use to perform queries and the like. You can combine sqlx with Squirrel to build queries from composable parts.
-
Are there any decent ORMs in Golang?
But using a query builder, something like squirrel or (plug) bqb, allows you to actually write SQL (or something close to it) when you need it but also handles the nasty string building bits. Though I agree that ORMs are not always bad, especially for small projects with well-defined scope.
-
GORM
Plug for bqb as a query builder, but there's also squirrel which works pretty well too.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing go-pg and Squirrel you can also consider the following projects:
GORM - The fantastic ORM library for Golang, aims to be developer friendly
goqu - SQL builder and query library for golang
bun - Incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager – all in one
sqlx - general purpose extensions to golang's database/sql
ent - An entity framework for Go
SQLBoiler - Generate a Go ORM tailored to your database schema.
InfluxDB - Scalable datastore for metrics, events, and real-time analytics
sqlc - Generate type-safe code from SQL
bun - SQL-first Golang ORM
sqlx - 🧰 The Rust SQL Toolkit. An async, pure Rust SQL crate featuring compile-time checked queries without a DSL. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite.
