SQL-like databases

Although there is a good bit of hype around interesting NoSQL databases and key-value stores, SQL-like databases are still ubiquitous. Every data scientist will, at some point, be processing data from an SQL-like database, such as Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite.

For example, we may be required to query one or more tables in a Postgres database to generate a set of features for model training. After using that model to make predictions or identify anomalies, we may send results to another database table that drives a dashboard or other reporting tool.

Go, of course, interacts nicely with all the popular data stores, such as SQL, NoSQL, key-value, and so on, but here, we will focus on SQL-like interactions. We will utilize
