State of the database drivers in go

[snmed]

Dear all

I'm planning my next project which is a data centric application with use of at least one rdbms and one nosql database.
So far i used go only for some small command line tools, but i'm overwhelmed by the clean and nice syntax. So i was looking

for database support in go and stumbled over this site https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SQLDrivers and https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go.

I looked into several repositories and most of the project hasn't made any progress since over 6 months, so i'm wondering are

those driver so good or is the development discontinued? And is go the right language for a data centric application?

I'm concerned about the future of the language and the drivers, it's important for me to have a reliable environment,

Has anyone some insight in data centric application with go and can give me some advise?

Cheers, snmed

This https://github.com/lib/pq  which is the postgres driver has commits in the last 15 days.

Thank you Josh for your reply. Do you have any experience with this driver and do you know a reliable Nosql Db Driver (Document Based)?

Are the MongoDB Driver mgo for production ready?

I know drivers for postgesql, MySQL, Ms SQL server, and Oracle are maintained.

[snmed]

Thank you for your answer, so far i think at least for the rdbms there are maintained drivers. So i need just a reliable NoSql Driver for a Document-Based Storage.

Go is awesome i hope the eco system will grow in the future and the language can stand against rust and the omni present of c/c++.

Mgo https://labix.org/mgo seems to be very well maintained.

I have an app in production using Postgres. The library has never been a problem.  I have read good reviews for mgo but i have not used it personally

Thats great to hear, i will start a prototype of the project with postgres and mongodb. Then i will see if our needs are satisfied and
if we stay with go. :-) I really hope it is working out for us, i would prefer to use go now and in the future:-D

Cheers

That's Mongodb itself, not the Go driver.

Hi Konstantin

I'm absolutely aware of the impact of a NoSql database and how a datastructure has to be design for an effectiv use of MongoDb, but thank you anyway for your contribution.

Cheers

Obviously. ;-)

My comment was about good reviews of mongodb, not its Go driver.
At least that's how I interpreted the OP's remark.

[Henrik Johansson]

Honestly I have had some less than pleasant incidents with Mongodb as well but the fault was due to simply overusing it for stuff it's not meant for.

If you are using database/sql in a fresh project, I highly recommend starting on go1.8 (the first release candidate is out now). Also, if you encounter fundamental blocking issues with the database/sql package, please send a message to: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-sql

Thanks, -Daniel
