One company asked me to write a wrapper around database/sql that adds a connection pool. This is pretty easy until you want to implement any function that returns Row, which you just can't, because you can't make one of those. Amazing.

Take care, you may be wrapping your connection pool around a built-in connection pool. Furthermore, some dbs might not like log-lived connections.

Sorry, my original reply was unclear. The connections would be to different replicas, and it was just a hiring task rather than something one would actually use in production.
