Entity Framework Core
EF Core is a modern object-database mapper for .NET. It supports LINQ queries, change tracking, updates, and schema migrations. EF Core works with SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, SQLite, Azure Cosmos DB, MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other databases through a provider plugin API.
Installation
EF Core is available on NuGet. Install the provider package corresponding to your target database. See the list of providers in the docs for additional databases.
dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite
dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Cosmos
Use the --version option to specify a preview version to install.
Daily builds
We recommend using the daily builds to get the latest code and provide feedback on EF Core. These builds contain latest features and bug fixes; previews and official releases lag significantly behind.
