I am quite new to Go, but I have been happily using this for a few months on a personal project. I really recommend looking at https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx which is a library extending database/sql to simplify going from query->struct/slice and it also allows for named parameters and prepared statements.

#go-nuts on Freenode is a great place :-)

I've been using this driver heavily for about 9 months now, and it has served me flawlessly so far. Definitely recommended!

Seconded. The community behind it is very active and responsive too.

I've been using it with gorp (simple ORM-ish API) for around a year. No issues so far!
