The database/sql package docs say:

"Package sql provides a generic interface around SQL (or SQL-like) databases. The
sql package must be used in conjunction with a database driver. See
http://golang.org/s/sqldrivers for a list of drivers."

And the sqldrivers wiki page is not very illuminating.

Users should be able to read the package docs and come away knowing everything they need
to connect their Go program to their database.

Comment 4:

I can take this on if nobody else is currently working on it.
I plan to extend the docs with an overview (using
http://golang.org/src/pkg/database/sql/doc.txt as a reference), example connections,
more example queries, and how to handle returned data/errors.

Comment 5:

As a first step I propose renaming http://golang.org/src/pkg/database/sql/doc.txt to
doc.go and formatting/extending it so that it can serve as package documentation.
Is this a good way to proceed or should that file be kept as-is?

Comment 7:

We're going to postpone major revisions until after the release. We're too close to
cutting a release candidate.

Comment 13:

As discussed[1], another CL will be incoming with executable examples.
There's still the question of whether the link to the wiki page and more examples is
sufficient to close this issue.
