Go driver for Microsoft ADODB that implements the database/sql interface for connecting to Windows databases.
go-adodb is a Go language database driver that implements the standard database/sql interface for connecting to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADODB) databases. It enables Go applications to interact with Windows-based database systems including Microsoft Access, SQL Server, and other OLE DB providers through a consistent Go API.
Go developers building applications on Windows that need to connect to Microsoft databases like Access or SQL Server, particularly those migrating existing ADODB-based applications to Go.
Provides a native Go solution for Windows database connectivity that follows Go's standard database/sql interface, eliminating the need for complex CGO bindings or external dependencies when working with Microsoft data sources.

Implements the database/sql interface, ensuring consistent database operations across Go applications and compatibility with other Go database drivers.
Provides connectivity to Microsoft Access, SQL Server, and other OLE DB providers, filling a gap in the Go ecosystem for Windows-specific database needs.
Includes code in the ./_example directory, offering hands-on guidance for developers to quickly set up and use the driver.
Follows Go's philosophy with a clean implementation, making it straightforward for developers familiar with Go's database/sql to adopt.
Only works on Windows due to its reliance on ADODB, making it unsuitable for cross-platform applications or non-Windows environments.
README notes potential app crashes, requiring workarounds like importing runtime/cgo, which indicates reliability concerns for production use.
Depends on ADODB, an older Microsoft technology that may lack support for modern database features or future updates.
As a niche driver, it has fewer community resources, third-party tools, and documentation compared to mainstream database drivers in Go.
