Other database platforms
- [Instructor] So far, we've been looking at Entity Framework Core against an MS SQL database. Now, let's take a look at how to use it to build applications against other database platforms. First, we'll take a look at SQLite. SQLite is a lightweight single file database that's commonly used for mobile and client applications. Another platform is PostgreSQL, which is a popular open source database. We'll use it with .Net core on a Mac to create an all open source implementation with Entity Framework Core. Finally, we'll mention some of the other options for Entity Framework Core in varying stages of development. These include MySQL, and Informix or DB2. Another new and exciting option in progress at the time of this recording is Cosmos DB, an Azure service that provides a highly available document database. Let's start by setting up a SQLite database with Entity Framework Core.
