Just a raw gist where I handle in go a datetime value in mysql format

datetime.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	datetimeFormat := "2006-01-02 15:04:05"	
  timeNow := time.Now().Format(datetimeFormat)	// 2009-11-10 23:00:00 (value of Go Playground)
	fmt.Println(timeNow)	
	fmt.Printf("%T\n", timeNow) //String
	fmt.Println("----------------\n")
	
	vUint8Array := []uint8(timeNow)
	fmt.Println(vUint8Array)
	fmt.Printf("%T\n", vUint8Array) //uint8 type value of go-sql-driver/mysql
	fmt.Println("----------------\n")
	
	fmt.Println(string(vUint8Array)) //String
	fmt.Println("----------------\n")
	
	fmt.Println(time.Parse(datetimeFormat, timeNow)) //2009-11-10 23:00:00 +0000 UTC <nil>
	
	
}
