Gendry is a Go library for working with MySQL databases, built on go-sql-driver/mysql. It provides three composable parts—manager for building connection DSNs, builder for programmatically constructing SQL queries, and scanner for mapping query results into structs—without being a full ORM.

Use cases

• build SQL queries programmatically in Go
• initialize MySQL connection pools with driver options
• scan database rows into Go structs
• generate WHERE IN clauses with large element sets
• avoid heavyweight ORMs while still avoiding hand-written SQL
• manage database/sql dataSourceName configuration

When to choose

• you use MySQL with Go's database/sql and want safer, maintainable query construction
• you dislike ORMs but want help building SQL and scanning results
• you need fine control over driver parameters like charset, timeouts, and interpolateParams

When to avoid

• you need a full ORM with migrations, relations, and model management
• you use a database other than MySQL
• you want schema-first code generation for complex object graphs
