[Feature Request] Implement Better Database Interaction for MySQL

Tell us about your feature request

As Currently there is no interacting method, I would like to request this also. It's safe from SQL injection, and if anyone agrees, I can submit a PR.

the method:

// Service represents a service that interacts with a database.
type Service interface {
	// Health returns a map of health status information.
	// The keys and values in the map are service-specific.
	Health() map[string]string

	// Exec executes a SQL query with the provided arguments and returns the result.
	// It is safe against SQL injection when used with parameter placeholders.
	Exec(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) (sql.Result, error)

	// BeginTx starts a new database transaction with the specified options.
	// The transaction is bound to the context passed.
	BeginTx(ctx context.Context, opts *sql.TxOptions) (*sql.Tx, error)

	// QueryRow executes a query that is expected to return at most one row.
	// The result is scanned into the provided destination variables.
	QueryRow(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) *sql.Row

	// Query executes a query that returns multiple rows.
	// It is safe against SQL injection when used with parameter placeholders.
	Query(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) (*sql.Rows, error)

	// Prepare creates a prepared statement for repeated use.
	// A prepared statement takes parameters and is safe against SQL injection.
	Prepare(ctx context.Context, query string) (*sql.Stmt, error)
}

// Exec executes a SQL query with the given arguments within the provided context.
// It returns the result of the execution, such as the number of affected rows.
func (s *service) Exec(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) (sql.Result, error) {
	return s.db.ExecContext(ctx, query, args...)
}

// BeginTx starts a new transaction with the given transaction options within the provided context.
// It returns a transaction handle to be used for executing statements and committing or rolling back.
func (s *service) BeginTx(ctx context.Context, opts *sql.TxOptions) (*sql.Tx, error) {
	return s.db.BeginTx(ctx, opts)
}

// QueryRow executes a SQL query that is expected to return at most one row,
// scanning the result into the provided destination variables.
func (s *service) QueryRow(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) *sql.Row {
	return s.db.QueryRowContext(ctx, query, args...)
}

// Query executes a SQL query with the given arguments within the provided context.
// It returns a result set containing multiple rows, which must be iterated over.
func (s *service) Query(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) (*sql.Rows, error) {
	return s.db.QueryContext(ctx, query, args...)
}

// Prepare creates a new prepared statement for the given query within the provided context.
// Prepared statements can be reused and are safe against SQL injection.
func (s *service) Prepare(ctx context.Context, query string) (*sql.Stmt, error) {
	return s.db.PrepareContext(ctx, query)
}

Example Usage:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"database/sql"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	_ "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql"
)

// Service represents a service that interacts with a database.
type Service interface {
	// Health returns a map of health status information.
	// The keys and values in the map are service-specific.
	Health() map[string]string

	// Exec executes a SQL query with the provided arguments and returns the result.
	// It is safe against SQL injection when used with parameter placeholders.
	Exec(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) (sql.Result, error)

	// BeginTx starts a new database transaction with the specified options.
	// The transaction is bound to the context passed.
	BeginTx(ctx context.Context, opts *sql.TxOptions) (*sql.Tx, error)

	// QueryRow executes a query that is expected to return at most one row.
	// The result is scanned into the provided destination variables.
	QueryRow(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) *sql.Row

	// Query executes a query that returns multiple rows.
	// It is safe against SQL injection when used with parameter placeholders.
	Query(ctx context.Context, query string, args ...interface{}) (*sql.Rows, error)

	// Prepare creates a prepared statement for repeated use.
	// A prepared statement takes parameters and is safe against SQL injection.
	Prepare(ctx context.Context, query string) (*sql.Stmt, error)
}

// service implements the Service interface with a connection to a SQL database.
type service struct {
	db *sql.DB
}

// Health reports the current status of the service.
func (s *service) Health() map[string]string {
	return map[string]string{"status": "ok"}
}

// Exec executes a SQL query with the given arguments within the provided context.
// It returns the result of the execution, such as the number of affected rows.

// It returns a transaction handle to be used for executing statements and committing or rolling back.
func (s *service) BeginTx(ctx context.Context, opts *sql.TxOptions) (*sql.Tx, error) {
	return s.db.BeginTx(ctx, opts)
}

// QueryRow executes a SQL query that is expected to return at most one row,
// scanning the result into the provided destination variables.

	return s.db.QueryContext(ctx, query, args...)
}

// Prepare creates a new prepared statement for the given query within the provided context.
// Prepared statements can be reused and are safe against SQL injection.
func (s *service) Prepare(ctx context.Context, query string) (*sql.Stmt, error) {
	return s.db.PrepareContext(ctx, query)
}

func main() {
	// Create a new instance of the service
	db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "user:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/mydatabase")
	if err != nil {

	defer db.Close()

Note

Also For instance, with the ExecContext method, you can utilize the SQL clause ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE to prevent duplicate entries.

example query

INSERT INTO user (email, password, date_added)
VALUES (?, ?, NOW())
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
email = VALUES(email),
password = VALUES(password);
