## The Future: getSQL
The outlook to support more sources is of course implementing SQL support.
Maybe adding two new CLI switches:
--sqlDriver=mysql|postres|mssql
--sqlSource=string|filename
#### `--sqlDriver`
specifies the driver to use which can be one from [https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SQLDrivers](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SQLDrivers)
#### `--sqlSource`
You can either provide the connection string on the command file OR an existing file which contains the connection string.
How the connection string looks like depends heavily on the used driver. For MySQL:
hugo --sqlDriver=mysql \
--sqlSource=username:password@protocol(address)/dbname?param=value
or with a file name:
hugo --sqlDriver=mysql --sqlSource=path/to/myCredentials.txt
The file myCredentials.txt contains the connection string: `username:password@protocol(address)/dbname?param=value` and nothing more!

$data := getSQL "SELECT id,artist,genre,title from musicTable"
