Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql is an Entity Framework Core provider for MySQL, MariaDB, and Amazon Aurora MySQL, built on top of the high-performance MySqlConnector ADO.NET library. It is the most popular EF Core provider for MySQL-compatible databases and tracks the latest EF Core releases.

Use cases

• use entity framework core with mysql in a dotnet application
• connect ef core to mariadb
• orm data access for mysql in asp.net core
• migrate dotnet app from sql server to mysql
• use ef core with amazon aurora mysql
• high-performance mysql driver for entity framework core

When to choose

• you want an actively maintained, community-standard provider with high-performance MySqlConnector under the hood

When to avoid

• you use a different ORM or prefer raw SQL with a plain ADO.NET driver
• you target databases other than MySQL-compatible ones
• you need an official Oracle-supported provider with commercial support
