This is perfectly fine, but there is also a way to run just Go code to interact with a SQL database. On top of this, the data that we are storing in the database will then be unwrapped into Go variables, and the content of a row might define the values of an instance of a Go struct. What we can do to improve and simplify the whole process is abstract the database even more and use an object-relational mapper (ORM).
