// Package driver defines interfaces to be implemented by database // drivers as used by package sql. // // Most code should use the [database/sql] package. // // The driver interface has evolved over time. Drivers should implement // [Connector] and [DriverContext] interfaces. // The Connector.Connect and Driver.Open methods should never return [ErrBadConn]. // [ErrBadConn] should only be returned from [Validator], [SessionResetter], or // a query method if the connection is already in an invalid (e.g. closed) state. // // All [Conn] implementations should implement the following interfaces: // [Pinger], [SessionResetter], and [Validator]. // // If named parameters or context are supported, the driver's [Conn] should implement: // [ExecerContext], [QueryerContext], [ConnPrepareContext], and [ConnBeginTx]. // // To support custom data types, implement [NamedValueChecker]. [NamedValueChecker] // also allows queries to accept per-query options as a parameter by returning // [ErrRemoveArgument] from CheckNamedValue. // // If multiple result sets are supported, [Rows] should implement [RowsNextResultSet]. // If the driver knows how to describe the types present in the returned result // it should implement the following interfaces: [RowsColumnTypeScanType], // [RowsColumnTypeDatabaseTypeName], [RowsColumnTypeLength], [RowsColumnTypeNullable], // and [RowsColumnTypePrecisionScale]. A given row value may also return a [Rows] // type, which may represent a database cursor value. // // If a [Conn] implements [Validator], then the IsValid method is called // before returning the connection to the connection pool. If an entry in the // connection pool implements [SessionResetter], then ResetSession // is called before reusing the connection for another query. If a connection is // never returned to the connection pool but is immediately reused, then // ResetSession is called prior to reuse but IsValid is not called.
