In backendsql.go:
row 72 - 85

What I am trying to do:

• I am trying to convert Elem() of type time.Time into a string formatted like "2008-02-28".

What is happening:
backendsql\backendsql.go:77:38: x.Index(ii).Elem().Format undefined (type reflect.Value has no field or method Format)

How do I access Elem() of type time.Time so that I can use Format method?
Or is this approach incorrect and there's another way to complete this?

Where is the problem:
backendsql package
row 103-106
and
row 125-128

What is the problem:
I am iterating through an interface and trying to convert a reflect.value.Elem() which has type 'time.Time' to a 'time.Time' type.

Error
when i do ELem().Interface().(time.Time)
it says: reflect.Value.Interface: cannot return value obtained from unexported field or method
and when I do Elem().Format() it says: type reflect.Value has no field or method Format
And when i try reflect.ValueOf(x.Index(ii).Elem()).Interface().(time.Time)
This provides a nil value - not the original concrete value of the time.Time value.

What I think is the issue
The original Elem() is of type 'time.Time' but reflect.Value documentation shows you can format them as .Bool() or Int() or Float().
And for structs, you can use .Interface() and then use that to convert it into a struct.

But I think that you can't use .Interface().(time.Time) because time is a struct with unexported fields/methods.
Is there a way around this? Or is this meant to be the case?
