Are you sure? I know that the NPGSQL DB driver works with CRDB. Data types, DDL, and supported features are a big part of EF Core providers though. I have not researched it yet but I was pretty sure the NPGSQL EF Core Provider implemetation was just for PG.

CockroachDB uses the same PostgreSQL wire protocol and SQL dialect so it just looks and works like a pg database. There are some minor differences but DDL and data types are already included in the syntax: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/porting-postgres.h...
It's great if you want to contribute though but I'd recommend just working on the PG EF Core provider which already has some work towards CRDB specific features: https://github.com/npgsql/Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.Postgre...

Great, thanks for the info. I have worked with @roji before on EF Core upstream issues, NPGSQL EF Core is very good. I will reach out to him!
