Database Providers
Improve EF Core performance with EF Extensions
Database Providers
Entity Framework Core can access many different databases through plug-in libraries called database providers.
Database providers can extend EF Core to enable functionality unique to specific databases.
Some concepts are common to most databases, and are included in the primary EF Core components.
Such concepts include expressing queries in LINQ, transactions, and tracking changes to objects once they are loaded from the database.
Some concepts are specific to a particular provider. For example, the SQL Server provider allows you to configure memory-optimized tables (a feature specific to SQL Server).
The following providers are supported in Entity Framework Core 5.
