Re: Why does one need database drivers?
You need a programming interface for them. Unless this language can directly use C, C++, Python, or some other library (which it may very well be able to, I didn't look).

MySQL's C libraries are rather clunky. No, let me revise that: MySQL's network calling protocol is a little clunky and this shows in the C library. If MySQL wanted to get into the Go bandwagon, they'd write a decent modern API in the language itself that uses the wire protocol.
I don't know what Postgres's API is like. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately. |
