Description

https://github.com/bradfitz/go-sql-test was an effort to automate testing of database/sql against all of the out-of-tree database drivers.

Nowadays there are many more drivers: https://golang.org/wiki/SQLDrivers

But https://github.com/bradfitz/go-sql-test is old & neglected & broken. It predates Dockers (by about a year).

It should use containers and be runnable by anybody without a bunch of setup work.

Anybody have time to help?
