var stmt *sql.Stmt
var err error

stmt, err = db.Prepare(selectStateme         


        

Answer 1

If your data source name is a url, you will do it like this:

db, err := sql.Open("postgres", "postgres://username:password@localhost/db_name?sslmode=disable")

sslmode is just added to the db url like a query parameter.
