A pure Go driver for Microsoft SQL Server implementing Go's database/sql interface via the TDS protocol. It supports SQL Server and Windows authentication, encryption, and flexible DSN connection strings.

Use cases

  • connect to sql server from go
  • query mssql database in go application
  • go database/sql driver for sql server
  • migrate legacy app from .net to go with sql server backend
  • run parameterized queries against mssql
  • connect to azure sql database from go

When to choose

  • your Go app needs to talk to Microsoft SQL Server or Azure SQL
  • you want a pure-Go driver with no cgo dependencies
  • you need database/sql compatibility for portability across databases

When to avoid

  • you use a different database like PostgreSQL or MySQL
  • you need the newest features and fixes - prefer the official Microsoft fork microsoft/go-mssqldb
  • you need an ORM rather than a low-level driver
