 column.

+You can also use [`sql.OpenDB`](https://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#OpenDB) (added in Go 1.10) rather than registering a txdb driver instance, if you prefer:
+
+``` go
+package main
 
-    import (
-        "database/sql"
-        "log"
+import (
+    "database/sql"
+    "log"

-        if err != nil {
