A .NET library that converts Entity Framework Core's generic DbUpdateException into strongly typed exceptions like UniqueConstraintException and CannotInsertNullException. It supports SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, and MySQL by handling database-specific error details.

Use cases

• handle unique constraint violations in EF Core without parsing error numbers
• catch null insert errors with typed exceptions
• distinguish max length exceeded errors from other database failures
• write database-agnostic exception handling across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Oracle
• simplify error handling when saving changes with Entity Framework Core

When to choose

• you use Entity Framework Core and need to react to specific constraint violations
• you want database-agnostic typed exceptions instead of vendor-specific error codes
• you support multiple database providers and want uniform error handling

When to avoid

• you use raw ADO.NET or a micro-ORM like Dapper instead of EF Core
• you only need generic failure handling and don't care about the cause
• you use a database provider not among the supported five
