Is there any way I can control the installed driver of database ?

[paudelgaurav]

I am using mysql as database but drivers of other databases are also installed.

Hello, can you please explain more detail about your case?

@giautm
Thank you for your response.

As you can see, below is my atlas.hcl file

data "external_schema" "gorm" {
  program = [
    "go",
    "run",
    "-mod=mod",
    "ariga.io/atlas-provider-gorm",
    "load",
    "--path", "./models",
    "--dialect", "mysql",
  ]
}

env "gorm" {
  src = data.external_schema.gorm.url
  dev = "docker://mysql/8/dev"
  migration {
    dir = "file://migrations"
  }
  format {
    migrate {
      diff = "{{ sql . \"  \" }}"
    }
  }
}

I am using MySQL as my database, but my go.sum file contains dependencies related to PostgreSQL and SQLite. My main concern is the maintainability of these unnecessary dependencies.

Hi @paudelgaurav,
Those drivers are used internally by our implementation. We decided to let users choose a driver by specifying a string for the driver's name (e.g., mysql, postgres, sqlite ...) instead of including the entire driver at the initial stage. As a result, all drivers need to be added as dependencies.

There is indeed an impact on maintainability since you don't have control over the driver version being used. However, we're actively maintaining and developing the project, and any contributions are welcome.

@luantranminh Thank you for your answer. I will close this issue now.

Hey, please keep the issue open. I think we can make improvement in future.

+1 on keeping this open.
Using this project brings a lot of extra dependencies that are unnecessary to our internal project.
E.g. The current sqlite3 driver used by this project has vulnerabilities and need upgrade. In our case, it holds back our PRs for something we are not even using.
It also adds unnecessary licenses (from the drivers) that impose extra huddles in maintaining internal applications.
This is a great project and I believe this feature adds to its adoption/maintainability.

Including the sqlite driver causes problems with alpine images
