Dependency on sqlx

[danilobuerger]

Apart from legacy, is there a reason we have to depend on sqlx? If not, I would tackle removing it on the weekend.

I just find the code easier to read and write.
On the contrary, is there a good reason for not using it?

IMHO, database/sql is more intended for low level things.

It's just one more dependency a user has to pull in. Not everybody is using sqlx in their project, so they would have that dependency only for the migration part.

Really the only thing that would change is the select in func (driver *Driver) Versions() (file.Versions, error). So it's a tradeoff between 10 more LOCs vs. pulling in a whole library that depends on even more reflection to get the job done.

Understood. Ok, go for it then.
Thanks!
