DSN format:
<driver>://<username>:<password>@<protocol>(<address>)/<database>?param1=value1&...¶mN=valueN
A DSN in its fullest form:
driver://username:password@protocol(address)/dbname?param=value
The address changes depending on the protocol
For TCP/UDP address have the form host:port, example:
pgsql://user:pass@tcp(localhost:5555)/dbname
For protocol unix (Unix domain sockets) the address is the absolute path to the socket, for example:
mysql://user@unix(/path/to/socket)/database
For protocol file (sqlite) use the absolute path as the address, example:
sqlite://@file(/full/unix/path/to/file.db)
Percent-encode username and password with characters like @, for example if password is:
!A4T@hh'cUj7LXXvk"
From the command line you can encode it with:
echo -n "\!A4T@hh'cUj7LXXvk\"" | jq -s -R -r @uri
or
echo -n "\!A4T@hh'cUj7LXXvk\"" | xxd -p |sed 's/../%&/g'
Then you can build the dsn:
mysql://root:!A4T%40hh'cUj7LXXvk%22@tcp(10.0.0.1:3306)/test
or
mysql://root:%21%41%34%54%40%68%68%27%63%55%6a%37%4c%58%58%76%6b%22@tcp(10.0.0.1:3306)/test
