Create a Map in Golang from database Rows

Look at using sqlx, which can do this a little more easily than the standard database/sql library:

places := []Place{}
err := db.Select(&places, "SELECT * FROM place ORDER BY telcode ASC")
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf(err)
    return
}

You could obviously replace []Place{} with a []map[string]interface{}, but where possible it is better to use a struct if you know the structure of your database. You won't need to undertake any type assertions as you might on an interface{}.

You can create a struct that maintains the map key to the position of the []interface{} slice. By doing this, you do not need to create a predefined struct. For example:

IDOrder: 0
IsClose: 1
IsConfirm: 2
IDUser: 3

Then, you can use it like this:

  // create a fieldbinding object.
  var fArr []string
  fb := fieldbinding.NewFieldBinding()

  if fArr, err = rs.Columns(); err != nil {
    return nil, err
  }

  fb.PutFields(fArr)

  //
  outArr := []interface{}{}

  for rs.Next() {
    if err := rs.Scan(fb.GetFieldPtrArr()...); err != nil {
      return nil, err
    }

    fmt.Printf("Row: %v, %v, %v, %s\n", fb.Get("IDOrder"), fb.Get("IsConfirm"), fb.Get("IDUser"), fb.Get("Created"))
    outArr = append(outArr, fb.GetFieldArr())
  }

Sample output:

Row: 1, 1, 1, 2016-07-15 10:39:37 +0000 UTC
Row: 2, 1, 11, 2016-07-15 10:42:04 +0000 UTC
Row: 3, 1, 10, 2016-07-15 10:46:20 +0000 UTC
SampleQuery: [{"Created":"2016-07-15T10:39:37Z","IDOrder":1,"IDUser":1,"IsClose":0,"IsConfirm":1},{"Created":"2016-07-15T10:42:04Z","IDOrder":2,"IDUser":11,"IsClose":0,"IsConfirm":1},{"Created":"2016-07-15T10:46:20Z","IDOrder":3,"IDUser":10,"IsClose":0,"IsConfirm":1}]

I haven't used it (yet), but I believe the "common" way to do what you are asking (more or less) is to use gorp.
