Setting DB for DbUse?

[andyedison]

Hello,

I'm a little confused about the usage of DbUse(). I was imagining it accepting a string that then attempts to change the connection to the database passed in. But it seems to be checking an un-exported variable. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

The C.dbuse() call inside conn.DbUse() is to the FreeTDS shared library - the "C." denotes a call to an imported C shared library, FreeTDS in this case. I have no experience of the gofreetds DbUse() or FreeTDS dbuse() function, I suggest to start by looking through the FreeTDS documentation; the compatibility of the function by FreeTDS is also likely to be Database dependant (SQL Server, Sybase, etc).

Good point andyedison.

Before integrating this pull request DbUse was used during connecting to switch into the database specified in the connection string.
It always uses database from connection string.

After that it is not used any more. It is some kind of rudiment.
I should probably remove it altogether.
Or make it accept a database name and than switch connection to that database.

I have a use case that would be great to pass a database name in as a string and switch to that database. I'd volunteer to make the change.
