Huh, I guess I feel better about the Marten 8 approach of dropping synch APIs because Npgsql would have just forced us to anyway:

Migrate SQL Server multi-result-set procedures to PostgreSQL
SQL Server stored procedures can return multiple result sets from one call, but PostgreSQL cannot. This post presents two PostgreSQL-native alternatives to refcursors, session-scoped temporary tables and JSON aggregation, compares both against a refcursor baseline, and shows how to implement and validate each in .NET and Npgsql.

Personal stuff is completely fine with EF, even large projects are completely fine. Our usecase is just a multinational application that has to handle millions of requests. If speed is an issue, handrolled sql and dedicated connectors (eg Npgsql) do the trick.

353 - TimescaleDB: quando PostgreSQL incontra le serie temporali
Dopo aver parlato di PostgreSQL, continuo il viaggio con TimescaleDB, l’estensione pensata per gestire serie temporali, metriche e telemetria. Vediamo come funziona, perché può essere interessante in un progetto .NET e quali sono le principali differenze rispetto a InfluxDB.

352 - PostgreSQL e .NET: quando il database modella il dominio
In questa puntata parlo di PostgreSQL dal punto di vista di uno sviluppatore .NET, concentrandomi sui suoi tipi custom (che ritengo una delle sue potenzianlità): enum, domain, composite type e range.
Non un confronto con SQL Server, ma uno sguardo a come PostgreSQL possa aiutare a modellare meglio il dominio (con i vari pro e contro).

Popular packages like Automapper, Npgsql, and SixLabors.ImageSharp have already gone .NET 6+ only (dropping .NET Standard/Framework support), and I applaud that. The longer we leave crutches in place, the less motivation people have to upgrade. Same problem that harmed the Python community with 2.x
