.. note::
For production applications, consider using pgxpool for connection pooling:

.. code-block:: go

import (
"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgxpool"
"example.com/sqlc-tutorial/db"
)

func main() {
pool, err := pgxpool.New(context.Background(), os.Getenv("DATABASE_URL"))
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Unable to create connection pool: %v\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
defer pool.Close()

q := db.New(pool)
// Use q the same way as with single connections
}
