How to create and execute prepared statements in Go with SQL databases?

To create and execute prepared statements in Go with SQL databases, you can follow the steps given below:

  1. Import the required packages:

    import ( "database/sql" _ "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql" // Import the Go MySQL driver package )
  2. Establish a database connection:

    db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "user:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/database") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer db.Close()
  3. Prepare the SQL statement:

    stmt, err := db.Prepare("INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, ...) VALUES (?, ?, ...)") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer stmt.Close()
  4. Execute the prepared statement with parameters:

    res, err := stmt.Exec(value1, value2, ...) // Pass the parameter values if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
  5. Retrieve the result:

    rowsAffected, err := res.RowsAffected() if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }

That's it! You have now created and executed a prepared statement in Go with SQL databases. Remember to handle error cases appropriately. The same approach can be used for executing SELECT statements or any other SQL queries.
