Adoption guide
Applications standardized on PostgreSQL that need robust async support and observability integration.
Why it appears in the guide: High-quality PostgreSQL data provider for .NET with strong performance and PostgreSQL feature coverage. Trade-off: Provider-specific data type behaviors should be tested when porting from other engines.
Compatibility metadata lists 5 target frameworks; confirm the exact target used by your application.
The published metadata declares 15 direct dependency entries across framework groups. Inspect the resolved dependency graph for your target framework.
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.
