Create a Map in Golang from database Rows

Question

Basically after doing a query I\'d like to take the resulting rows and produce a []map[string]interface{}, but I do not see how to do this with the API since th

Look at using sqlx, which can do this a little more easily than the standard database/sql library:

places := []Place{}
err := db.Select(&places, "SELECT * FROM place ORDER BY telcode ASC")
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf(err)
    return
}

You could obviously replace []Place{} with a []map[string]interface{}, but where possible it is better to use a struct if you know the structure of your database. You won't need to undertake any type assertions as you might on an interface{}.
