The package is archived and it's advised to use the github.com/godror/godror [ Reference ]

To change everything using sed command, but as you're using Windows please do an equivalent thing:

Commands (using sed )

sed -i -e 's,goracle "gopkg.in/goracle.v2",godror "github.com/godror/godror",g; s,gopkg.in/goracle.v2,github.com/godror/godror,g; s/"goracle"/"godror"/g; s/goracle[.]/godror./g' $(find . -type f -name '*.go')

sed -i -e '/goracle.v2/d' go.mod

But in simpler terms I'd say as gopkg.in/goracle.v2 is now archived, try go get github.com/godror/godror .
