What people are saying

This looks really cool to me, because I love to write SQL. Except for that `UPDATE` statement. That... is a problem. Looks like there is an open discussion about this on the…

I can't find an equivalent for Go. https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc and https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc look nice, but they are doing codegen, definitely not as sleek as Rust sqlx. I guess it's a good example of how powerful Rust is. The "magic" that sqlx does at compile time gets really difficult if not impossible to do without macros. Of course you could create a separate parser/builder, and codegen works as well, but definitely not as convenient and flexible.

If you want to try out something cool, check out https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc It's written in Go and it converts your sql migrations and queries into typesafe code that you use access your database. It currently has a plugin for Python that's in Beta, but what essentially does something similar to what this post is saying. https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc-gen-python You write your migrations, and queries and a config file and it does the rest.
