For me I've worked with the following databases with .NET (SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite, IBM AS/400) and probably others that I don't remember.
.NET divers work great. As for Oracle when companies have been around for decades and rely on it I can see it's almost impossible to change without a huge risk to the business. Bu t if someone were starting a business today Oracle doesn't feel the way to go in most cases. Of course I'm sure they have some really good sales people that make it happen lol
> I seem to recall that SQL server works really well with .net, in a way that most others don't.
my company uses postgresql and dotnet efcore and it works really really really well. npgsql/efcore.pg is really awesome and has stuff built-in that works. kudos to roji which basically built it (as far as I know does he work for microsoft to bring npgsql forward). but maybe it works equally well, because microsoft bought citus and thus many psql developers.
Do you mean: https://github.com/dotnet/efcore ?
I think that explains the jobs. Then you have the people who make suboptimal choices, such as buying Oracle today, because nobody got fired for doing that.
