For MySQL, there is no native `uuid` data type. When using `UUID_TO_BIN` to store a `UUID()`, the underlying field type is `BINARY(16)` which by default sqlc would interpret this to `sql.NullString`. To have sqlc automatically convert these fields to a `uuid.UUID` type, use an overide on the column storing the `uuid`.
```json
{
"overrides": [
{
"column": "*.uuid",
"go_type": "github.com/google/uuid.UUID"
}
]
}
```

## JSON

By default, sqlc will generate the `[]byte`, `pgtype.JSON` or `json.RawMessage` for JSON column type.
