go mysql SELECT query causes variable assignment error

Question

I'm new to Go and I'm trying to query a mysql database. I tried the following code:

rows, err := db.QueryRow("SELECT * FROM t_users")

But running the go run main.go gives this error:

cannot assign 1 values to 2 variables

But I don't get any errors for this:

rows, err := db.Query("DESCRIBE t_user")

How come my select statement is giving an error?
