5// Package driver defines interfaces to be implemented by database
6// drivers as used by package sql.
7//
8// Most code should use the [database/sql] package.
9//
10// The driver interface has evolved over time. Drivers should implement
11// [Connector] and [DriverContext] interfaces.
12// The Connector.Connect and Driver.Open methods should never return [ErrBadConn].
13// [ErrBadConn] should only be returned from [Validator], [SessionResetter], or
14// a query method if the connection is already in an invalid (e.g. closed) state.
15//
16// All [Conn] implementations should implement the following interfaces:
17// [Pinger], [SessionResetter], and [Validator].
18//
19// If named parameters or context are supported, the driver's [Conn] should implement:
20// [ExecerContext], [QueryerContext], [ConnPrepareContext], and [ConnBeginTx].
21//
22// To support custom data types, implement [NamedValueChecker]. [NamedValueChecker]
23// also allows queries to accept per-query options as a parameter by returning
24// [ErrRemoveArgument] from CheckNamedValue.
25//
26// If multiple result sets are supported, [Rows] should implement [RowsNextResultSet].
27// If the driver knows how to describe the types present in the returned result
28// it should implement the following interfaces: [RowsColumnTypeScanType],
29// [RowsColumnTypeDatabaseTypeName], [RowsColumnTypeLength], [RowsColumnTypeNullable],
30// and [RowsColumnTypePrecisionScale]. A given row value may also return a [Rows]
31// type, which may represent a database cursor value.
32//
33// If a [Conn] implements [Validator], then the IsValid method is called
34// before returning the connection to the connection pool. If an entry in the
35// connection pool implements [SessionResetter], then ResetSession
36// is called before reusing the connection for another query. If a connection is
37// never returned to the connection pool but is immediately reused, then
38// ResetSession is called prior to reuse but IsValid is not called.
