Goal

To build an ASP.NET Core 5 MVC web app linked with a PostgreSQL.

Motivation

  1. SQL Server is proprietary.
  2. SQLite used in Microsoft’s ASP.NET Core 5 MVC tutorial isn’t made for web apps.
  3. MySQL doesn’t perform well with concurrent read-writes. It’s dual-licensed like GitLab.
  4. Some users find PostgreSQL cost-effective.

Useful tutorials

  1. MS’s tutorial in item 2 above.
  2. Wes Doyle’s YouTube video goes through the steps
  3. MS’s tutorial for Razor Pages with EF Core migrations

Steps

  1. Create a superuser in the database.
