Answer 1

The implementation is a type-safe SQL query builder in Go with three key components:

1. Query Builder (Builder struct)

Method-chaining API that constructs parameterized SQL SELECT queries:

// Builder supports method chaining for building SELECT queries
qb := sqlqb.Select("u.id", "u.name", "o.total").
    From("users u").
    InnerJoin("orders o", "o.user_id = u.id").
    Where("u.age > $1", 21).
    Where("o.status = $1", "pending").
    OrderBy("u.name ASC").
    Limit(5)

query, args, err := qb.Build()
// query:  "SELECT u.id, u.name, o.total FROM users u\nINNER JOIN orders o ON o.user_id = u.id\nWHERE u.age > $1 AND o.status = $2\nORDER BY u.name ASC\nLIMIT $3"
// args:   [21, "pending", 5]

2. Parameterized Queries (SQL Injection Prevention)

All user values use $N placeholders that are rewritten into global positional parameters. The SQL string never contains raw user data:

qb := Select("*").From("users").Where("name = $1", "'; DROP TABLE users; --")
query, args, _ := qb.Build()
// query: "SELECT * FROM users\nWHERE name = $1"   ← safe, no DROP in SQL
// args:  ["'; DROP TABLE users; --"]              ← malicious string isolated in parameters

The rewriteParams() function renumbers $1, $2 placeholders within each clause into global $1, $2, $3, ... across the entire query, collecting args in order.

3. Result Scanning into Structs (Reflection)

Two scanning functions use the Rows interface (satisfied by *sql.Rows and test mocks):

type User struct {
    ID    int    `db:"id"`
    Name  string `db:"name"`
    Email string `db:"email"`
    Age   int    `db:"age"`
}

// ScanRow — single struct
var u User
err := sqlqb.ScanRow(rows, &u)  // rows is *sql.Rows

// ScanAll — slice of structs
var users []User
err := sqlqb.ScanAll(rows, &users)

// Also works with pointers: []*User
var users []*User
err := sqlqb.ScanAll(rows, &users)

Column mapping rules: - Uses db:"column_name" struct tag if present - Falls back to lowercased field name (e.g., UserID → "userid") - Case-insensitive column matching - Fields tagged db:"-" are ignored - Unexported fields are ignored - Extra/missing columns are handled gracefully (missing → zero value, extra → discarded)
