consider using sqlite3 as your example scenario?

[mco-gh]

Just found your site and love it -- thanks very much! I noticed your tutorial model assumes mySQL and I wondered if you'd considered using sqlite3, since that db is so pervasive (pre-installed on many platforms), it's quite simple, and there'a Go driver available. Just wondered. I think I'm going to follow through your tutorial using sqlite3 and see how far I can get.
