Connections with non-standard characters fail with "net/url: invalid userinfo" due to the following change in database/sql, which added invalid characters for the connection string
PR: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/87038
File: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/88535/6/src/net/url/url.go
I was able to work around this by percent encoding any special characters in the connection string and updated with instructions in the readme.
