Database Usage in Golang Part 1: Basic Interaction

In this tutorial we will learn the fundamentals of talking to SQL databases from Golang. We will connect to an SQLite database in order to read and write data to our hard drive. Although this is not an SQL tutorial, the examples are simple enough to grasp their basic idea. Feel free to do some research on relational databases if you have not worked with them yet.
