• HTMX + Go : Build a CRUD App with Golang and HTMX
  4 projects | dev.to | 15 Jul 2024

  Next, we need to install some dependencies. We already know we are using MySQL as our database, thus, we need to install the MySQL driver for Golang.

• Tools besides Go for a newbie
  36 projects | /r/golang | 26 Mar 2023

  IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

• Questions regarding prepared statements in database/sql
  3 projects | /r/golang | 23 Feb 2023

  I understand that database/db is an abstraction. As to the driver, sorry, it completely went out of my head. The guide primarily focuses on https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql, which is also what I’m interested in.

• Make Deno MySQL driver works better
  3 projects | dev.to | 1 Dec 2022

  Authentication method mismatch is not allowed to occur more than once. It is not a part of MySQL protocol. go-sql-driver also has the same rule.

• Question about inserting date into MySQL?
  1 project | /r/golang | 15 Nov 2022

  If you are using https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql you need to add parseTime=true to the DSN to be able to use time.Time.

• Build REST API with Go Fiber and PlanetScale - Part 2
  1 project | dev.to | 19 Oct 2022

  package models import ( "gorm.io/driver/mysql" "gorm.io/gorm" ) var DB *gorm.DB func ConnectDatabase() { // refer https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql#dsn-data-source-name for details dsn := "root:@tcp(127.0.0.1:3309)/fiber-pscale?charset=utf8mb4&parseTime=True&loc=Local" database, err := gorm.Open(mysql.Open(dsn), &gorm.Config{}) if err != nil { panic("failed to connect database") } // Migrate the users table database.AutoMigrate(&User{}) DB = database }

• Stuck $GOPATH/go.mod exists but should not
  1 project | /r/golang | 26 Aug 2022

  I've seen this error on line but there is no resolution to this error even when i run go get github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql

• I Could Not Run a Sample Code to Use MySQL with Go on Docker (Error 1064)
  1 project | dev.to | 1 Jul 2022

  I use github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql package to use MySQL. The references are the official README.md, a sample code, the article Masao wrote (in Japanese), and the MariaDB document.

  > mysql_real_escape_string is still vulnerable when being used with some exotic character sets

  Indeed -- mysql_real_escape_string "mostly" fixes this problem by requiring a connection as one of its args, and since it's usually aware of the connection state, it can check that to see if one of those exotic charsets is in-use. But the problem is that there are multiple ways to change the connection charset, some of which the driver is aware of (e.g. in PHP mysqli set_charset) but some it is not (running textual statements like SET NAMES or SET CHARACTER SET).

  But generally an attacker won't ever have the ability to set an arbitrary exotic character set for the connection, unless they already have some other sql injection mechanism, in which case it's a moot point :)

  Driver documentation also typically mentions this problem. For example, here's the doc for doing client-side param interpolation in the most popular MySQL driver for Golang: https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql#interpolateparams

  It also explicitly detects if your initial connection settings attempt to use one of those charsets along with param interpolation, and throws an error if so: https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql/blob/21f789cd/dsn.go#...

  > Couldn't one just save the extra round-trip with length-prefixed strings by sending the query together with the parameters in a single message?

  AFAIK, no, not with the traditional MySQL binary protocol. The newer "X protocol" introduced in MySQL 5.7 does allow this, but it is not widely implemented in drivers.
