This library is not safe and should not be trusted to prevent SQL Injection Attacks.

Example shows

sql := sqlstring.Format("select * from users where name=? and age=? limit ?,?", "t'est", 10, 10, 10)
fmt.Printf("sql: %s\n", sql)

Outputting

sql: select * from users where name='t\'est' and age=10 limit 10,10

Which is correct. However, this protection can easily be defeated:

sql := sqlstring.Format("select * from users where name=? and age=? limit ?,?", `t\'est`, 10, 10, 10)
fmt.Printf("sql: %s\n", sql)

Outputting

sql: select * from users where name='t\\'est' and age=10 limit 10,10

The double backslash fails to escape the single quote resulting in SQL injection vulnerability.
