I am facing the above issue with the code below
stmt, err2 := db.Prepare( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM xyz WHERE product_id=? and chart_number=?")
rows, err2 := stmt.Query( bidStatusReqVal.ProductId,bidStatusReqVal.ChartNumber).Scan(&count)

Answer 1

Query(...).Scan(...) is not valid because Query returns two values and chaining of calls requires that the previous call returns only one value. Call Scan on the returned rows, or use QueryRow(...).Scan(...) with only err as the return destination.
rows, err := stmt.Query(bidStatusReqVal.ProductId, bidStatusReqVal.ChartNumber)
if err != nil {
return err
}
defer rows.Close()
for rows.Next() {
if err := rows.Scan(&count); err != nil {
return err
}
}
if err := rows.Err(); err != nil {
return err
}
// ...
In cases where the query returns only a single row, e.g. SELECT ... LIMIT 1, or SELECT COUNT(*) ... like in your case, it is much more convenient to use QueryRow.
err := stmt.QueryRow(bidStatusReqVal.ProductId, bidStatusReqVal.ChartNumber).Scan(&count)
if err != nil {
return err
}
// ...
