how to use libpgx as standard sql/db driver as using pgx drivername is giving import error on runtime ( forgot to import driver ?) #804

am using pgx through sql/db package as drop in replacement but i am not able find how to do so i am avoiding using it as pgx connection mode for obvious reasons ( coming here from libpq)

connection, err := sql.Open("pgx", "database=dexchange username=postgres password=postgres") //pgx.Connect(context.Background(), "postgresql://localhost/dexchange?user=postgres&password=postgres")

please add wiki link to readme.md as github wiki link is hard to notice ( obviously i missed it , kind of sorry for that too ) and google search is not too helpful and my code editor is reporting when using it in pgx connection mode image

also , is pgx through sql.db is thread safe right ( goroutine safe)?
