PostgresSQL access on rows.Scan fails for varchar fields

Hello Gophercast crew -

Appreciate the lessons. Quite new to Go and been trying out your tutorials. Using Go 1.4 on Ubuntu.

From a Python / Java / SQL background and Go has been a great language.

Getting an error on the rows.Scan - on fields that are VARCHAR in Postgres.
sql: Scan error on column index 1: unsupported driver -> Scan pair: -> *string

Do not get the erro if the fields are CHAR.

I updated the names of libraries for myself and it compiles and such - and even runs.
But get this other error when I get to templates (ie if I pass the above error in Lesson 4).

I get an error in that a field I am using in the struct to store the variables is unexportable.

template: members:9:9: executing "members" at <.ihg_member_id>: ihg_member_id is an unexported field of struct type main.Member

So I am using a struct Members instead of the Books table you showed - but does the same thing.
And I can access Memebers fine if the fields ar CHAR but not VARCHAR.

Your help would be very appreciated.

Thank you.
