sqlc generates type-safe Go database code from SQL queries by running `sqlc generate` with a configured `sqlc.yaml` file.
sqlc generates type-safe Go database code from your SQL queries by reading a configuration file and your SQL files, then outputting Go structs and query functions. Run the following command in your project directory to generate the code:
sqlc generate
Ensure you have a sqlc.yaml file defining your database dialect (e.g., postgresql), schema paths, and query file locations before running the command.
sqlc is a tool that turns your raw SQL queries into safe, typed Go code. It acts like a translator that reads your database schema and queries, then writes Go functions that prevent you from making common mistakes like typos in column names. You use it whenever you want to write SQL directly but still get the safety and autocomplete features of Go.
