title: How to connect to Oracle in go
body: <p>I gather there are two ways to connect to Oracle DB in Go (on windows):</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>github.com/tgulacsi/goracle</li>
  <li>github.com/mattn/go-oci8</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>But for someone of my level (beginner in open source+golang), those two methods/drivers are awfully tricky.</p>
  
  <p>It's also a burden having to go through all of that for deployment, development on different machines etc. (Also assuming it will work). </p>
  
  <p>Is there a better way to connect to Oracle db in golang or if there is not then can someone explain to me in high level view or any view for that matter that would make this easier?</p>
  
  <p>Pointers would be very much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>TQ.</p>
