Npgsql is the open-source ADO.NET data provider for PostgreSQL, written in 100% C#. It lets .NET applications connect to and query PostgreSQL with high performance and full support for advanced PostgreSQL types.
Use cases
- connect to postgresql from c#
- run sql queries from .net application
- bulk import data into postgres from dotnet
- use postgres arrays and json types in c#
- multi-host failover for postgres connections
- entity framework core postgres provider
When to choose
- you need a high-performance PostgreSQL driver for .NET
- you need support for advanced PostgreSQL types like ranges, enums, and PostGIS
- you use Entity Framework Core with PostgreSQL
- you need bulk import/export or multi-host load balancing
When to avoid
- you use a database other than PostgreSQL
- you need a driver for a non-.NET language
- you need a legacy Entity Framework 6 provider (no longer actively maintained)
