You can write raw SQL in Go by using the standard database/sql package for reads and writes, avoiding ORMs to ensure transparent performance and precise control over data access patterns.

Handle PostgreSQL JSONB and upsert operations in Go by executing explicit SQL queries that leverage native PostgreSQL features like JSONB handling and ON CONFLICT clauses for robust data management directly through the database driver.

The best way to manage database transactions in Go is by using *sql.Tx objects to wrap associated writes, ensuring transactional integrity and careful error management across repository operations.

Yes, you should separate models from repository logic in Go database code. This architectural pattern improves maintainability by isolating data access logic from your data structures when using raw SQL.

You should avoid using an ORM for Go database access when you need explicit, high-performance control over SQL execution, precise transactional integrity, and direct utilization of PostgreSQL features like JSONB.
