dotConnect for PostgreSQL vs. MariaDB

dotConnect for PostgreSQL is a high-performance ADO.NET data provider that grants simple access to PostgreSQL databases when developing PostgreSQL-based applications. It fully supports Entity Framework (EF Core), Dapper, and NHibernate, along with a wide range of PostgreSQL-specific features, such as secure SSL connections, PostgreSQL notifications, PostgreSQL bulk data loading, GEOMETRY, PostgreSQL ARRAY types, and others.

MariaDB frees companies from the costs, constraints and complexity of proprietary databases, enabling them to reinvest in what matters most – rapidly developing innovative, customer-facing applications. MariaDB uses pluggable, purpose-built storage engines to support workloads that previously required a variety of specialized databases. With complexity and constraints eliminated, enterprises can now depend on a single complete database for all their needs, whether on commodity hardware or their cloud of choice.
