 This will return a slice of Albums - but if you notice on the second line, you have to write your own queries.
 A little bit more in control of how things happen, with a ``SELECT * ...`` vs the gorm ``DB.Find`` style.

 You use the ``service.connection.Get`` and pass in what you want the output bound to, the string query, and any parameters.
 This feels kind of backwards to me - I'd much rather have the order be: query, bound, parameters, but thats what they decided for their order.

+Notes
+~~~~~
+
+I sent this blog post to my friend `Andrey <https://shazow.net/>`_ and he mentioned that I was incorrect with my comparision of sqlx to pymysql.
+To put it in a python metaphor, "sqlx is like using urllib3, gorm is like using something that generates a bunch of requests code for you."
+Sqlx is more akin to `SqlAlchemy core <https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/>`_ vs using `SqlAlchemy orm <https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/orm/>`_.
+As the sort of equivalent to ``pymysql`` in Go is ``database/sql`` from the stdlib.
