Building database apps with Go

How does database/sql work? There's not much in the way of examples; you have to kind of figure it out. But the common usage patterns are actually pretty simple (and there aren't many). I'll share what I've learned about that.

In addition, I've found a number of surprises, lightly documented things, and interesting little-known features of the database/sql package.

I'd be happy to share all of this with the group.
