import (
    "database/sql"
    "fmt"
    _ "github.com/lib/pq"
)

const (
    DB_USER     = "ramesh"
    DB_PASSWORD = "secret"
    DB_NAME     = "test_db"
)

func main() {
    dbinfo := fmt.Sprintf("user=%s password=%s dbname=%s sslmode=disable",
        DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME)
    db, err := sql.Open("postgres", dbinfo)
    checkErr(err)
    defer db.Close()

    rows, err := db.Query("SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM  table_name")
 	fmt.Println("Total count:",checkCount(rows))	
    checkErr(err)
}
 
func checkCount(rows *sql.Rows) (count int) {
 	for rows.Next() {
    	err:= rows.Scan(&count)
    	checkErr(err)
    }   
    return count
}

func checkErr(err error) {
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

it is very goods!
