Description

Drivers marked with [*] are both included in and pass the compatibility test suite

https://go.dev/wiki/SQLDrivers

The list of drivers tested has not been updated in years:

https://github.com/bradfitz/go-sql-test/blob/master/src/sqltest/drivers.go

I suggest you:

a) update the drivers to be tested and the update the wiki page afterward (and update it periodically) b) remove the mention of the compatibility test suite c) state that the compatibility test was done in 2019 (5 years ago)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current list of drivers in go sql test, update it to include modern drivers, run compatibility tests, and update the wiki page accordingly.
