How do I convert a database row into a struct

Question

Let\'s say I have a struct:

type User struct {
    Name  string
    Id    int
    Score int
}

And a database table with the same schema. Wh

Go package tests often provide clues as to ways of doing things. For example, from database/sql/sql_test.go,

func TestQuery(t *testing.T) {
    /* . . . */
    rows, err := db.Query("SELECT|people|age,name|")
    if err != nil {
            t.Fatalf("Query: %v", err)
    }
    type row struct {
            age  int
            name string
    }
    got := []row{}
    for rows.Next() {
            var r row
            err = rows.Scan(&r.age, &r.name)
            if err != nil {
                    t.Fatalf("Scan: %v", err)
            }
            got = append(got, r)
    }
    /* . . . */
}

func TestQueryRow(t *testing.T) {
    /* . . . */
    var name string
    var age int
    var birthday time.Time
    err := db.QueryRow("SELECT|people|age,name|age=?", 3).Scan(&age)
    /* . . . */
}

Which, for your question, querying a row into a structure, would translate to something like:

var row struct {
    age  int
    name string
}
err = db.QueryRow("SELECT|people|age,name|age=?", 3).Scan(&row.age, &row.name)

I know that looks similar to your solution, but it's important to show how to find a solution.
