Adoption guide
Workloads standardized on SQL Server or Azure SQL that need mature migrations and provider documentation.
Why it appears in the guide: EF Core provider for SQL Server with broad feature support and deep integration with Microsoft data tooling. Trade-off: Ties query behavior and advanced feature usage to SQL Server semantics and version capabilities.
Compatibility metadata lists 1 target framework; confirm the exact target used by your application.
How to read this guidance
Sources: published NuGet v3 registry metadata and explicit NuBrowse editorial guides. Refresh: package metadata is refreshed from NuGet when the page loads. Limit: this is not a security, legal or compatibility guarantee; validate the selected version in your project.
Useful next steps
Move from package metadata to a concrete selection or review workflow.
