The `database/sql` interface only allows the underlying driver to return or receive the following types: `int64`,
`float64`, `bool`, `[]byte`, `string`, `time.Time`, or `nil`. Handling other types requires implementing the
`database/sql.Scanner` and the `database/sq/driver.Valuer` interfaces which require transmission of values in text format. The binary format can be substantially faster,which is what the pgx interface uses.

## Features
pgx supports many features beyond what is available through `database/sql`:
* Support for approximately 60 different PostgreSQL types
* Support for approximately 70 different PostgreSQL types
* Automatic statement preparation and caching
* Batch queries
* Single-round trip query mode

### Compatibility with `database/sql`
pq is exclusively used with `database/sql`. go-pg does not use `database/sql` at all. pgx supports `database/sql` as well as
its own interface.
