Interface IDatabaseProvider

Namespace

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Storage

Assembly

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.dll

The primary point where a database provider can tell EF that it has been selected for the current context and provide the services required for it to function.

This type is typically used by database providers (and other extensions). It is generally not used in application code.

public interface IDatabaseProvider

Remarks

The service lifetime is Singleton. This means a single instance is used by many DbContext instances. The implementation must be thread-safe. This service cannot depend on services registered as Scoped.

See Implementation of database providers and extensions for more information and examples.
