Question 1

How to integrate SQLDB-Logger with Zerolog in Go?

Accepted Answer

Import the zerologadapter, create an adapter with zerolog.New(os.Stdout), and pass it to sqldblogger.OpenDriver along with your DSN and driver. Customize options like log levels using WithMinimumLevel if needed.

Question 2

SQLDB-Logger vs pgx logging: which is better for PostgreSQL?

Accepted Answer

SQLDB-Logger works with multiple database/sql drivers including PostgreSQL via lib/pq, while pgx logging is specific to the pgx driver. Choose SQLDB-Logger for cross-driver compatibility or pgx for deeper PostgreSQL integration and performance.

Question 3

Does SQLDB-Logger work with GORM?

Accepted Answer

No, SQLDB-Logger is designed for the standard database/sql package, not ORMs like GORM. GORM uses its own abstraction layer, so direct integration isn't supported without additional bridging code.

Question 4

How to disable argument logging for security in SQLDB-Logger?

Accepted Answer

Use the WithLogArguments(false) option when calling sqldblogger.OpenDriver to exclude SQL arguments from logs, preventing sensitive data exposure while still logging queries and errors.

Question 5

Can SQLDB-Logger track database performance metrics?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it logs query duration with configurable units (nanoseconds or milliseconds) via WithDurationUnit. Combine this with structured logs to monitor performance trends and identify slow queries.

Question 6

What happens if my SQL driver isn't listed in the README?

Accepted Answer

SQLDB-Logger may still work if the driver implements the standard database/sql/driver interfaces, but you'll need to test compatibility. The project encourages contributions for unsupported drivers.

Question 7

How to add custom fields like request ID to SQLDB-Logger output?

Accepted Answer

Modify the provided adapters or implement your own Logger interface to extract values from context, such as HTTP request IDs, and include them in the log data map for traceability.
