Overview

Package connectors is the parent of the three connector modules. It holds no code of its own, and it never will: each connector below is its own Go module, because in Go there is no optional dependency and a package here that imported all three would put pgx, go-sql-driver/mysql and modernc.org/sqlite in the go.sum of every project that uses the collection.

connectors/pgx      PostgresConnector    jackc/pgx
connectors/mysql    MySqlConnector       go-sql-driver/mysql
connectors/sqlite   SQLiteConnector      modernc.org/sqlite

The Connector interface they satisfy is database.Connector, one level up: it names a database.Dialect, so declaring it here would need this package to import database while database imports it back.

MariaDB is spoken by MySqlConnector -- mariadb:// is a DATABASE_URL scheme, not a second driver. Choosing between connectors is the blank import plus database.Open, so there is no factory here either.
