title: Golang MSSQL driver for Windows7 64-bit
body: <p>I am trying to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server database using the database/sql package for golang.</p>
  
  <p>There is no MSSQL-specific driver listed at <a href="https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/SQLDrivers" rel="noreferrer">https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/SQLDrivers</a>, so I thought I'd try an odbc driver.</p>
  
  <p>I  tried <a href="https://github.com/weigj/go-odbc" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/weigj/go-odbc</a> but when I run <code>go install</code> I receive
  <code>cc1.exe: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in</code>. This is listed as an open issue in the github repo.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have experience connecting to an MSSQL database from a 64-bit Windows 7 client? Which odbc driver is recommended?</p>
