				| # Switch to EF Core PostgreSQL Provider
 | |
| 
 | |
| > [ABP CLI](CLI.md) and the [Get Started](https://abp.io/get-started) page already provides an option to create a new solution with PostgreSQL. See [that document](Entity-Framework-Core-Other-DBMS.md) to learn how to use. This document provides guidance for who wants to manually switch to PostgreSQL after creating the solution.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This document explains how to switch to the **PostgreSQL** database provider for **[the application startup template](Startup-Templates/Application.md)** which comes with SQL Server provider pre-configured.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Replace the Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer Package
 | |
| 
 | |
| `.EntityFrameworkCore` project in the solution depends on the [Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer) NuGet package. Remove this package and add the same version of the [Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSql](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSql) package.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Replace the Module Dependency
 | |
| 
 | |
| Find ***YourProjectName*EntityFrameworkCoreModule** class inside the `.EntityFrameworkCore` project, remove `typeof(AbpEntityFrameworkCoreSqlServerModule)` from the `DependsOn` attribute, add `typeof(AbpEntityFrameworkCorePostgreSqlModule)` (also replace `using Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer;` with `using Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSql;`).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## UseNpgsql()
 | |
| 
 | |
| Find `UseSqlServer()` call in *YourProjectName*EntityFrameworkCoreModule.cs inside the `.EntityFrameworkCore` project and replace with `UseNpgsql()`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Find `UseSqlServer()` call in *YourProjectName*DbContextFactory.cs inside the `.EntityFrameworkCore` project and replace with `UseNpgsql()`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| > Depending on your solution structure, you may find more `UseSqlServer()` calls that needs to be changed.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Change the Connection Strings
 | |
| 
 | |
| PostgreSql connection strings are different than SQL Server connection strings. So, check all `appsettings.json` files in your solution and replace the connection strings inside them. See the [connectionstrings.com]( https://www.connectionstrings.com/postgresql/ ) for details of PostgreSql connection string options.
 | |
| 
 | |
| You typically will change the `appsettings.json` inside the `.DbMigrator` and `.Web` projects, but it depends on your solution structure.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Re-Generate the Migrations
 | |
| 
 | |
| The startup template uses [Entity Framework Core's Code First Migrations](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/managing-schemas/migrations/). EF Core Migrations depend on the selected DBMS provider. So, changing the DBMS provider will cause the migration fails.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Delete the Migrations folder under the `.EntityFrameworkCore` project and re-build the solution.
 | |
| * Run `Add-Migration "Initial"` on the Package Manager Console (select the `.DbMigrator`  (or `.Web`) project as the startup project in the Solution Explorer and select the `.EntityFrameworkCore` project as the default project in the Package Manager Console).
 | |
| 
 | |
| This will create a database migration with all database objects (tables) configured.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Run the `.DbMigrator` project to create the database and seed the initial data.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Run the Application
 | |
| 
 | |
| It is ready. Just run the application and enjoy coding.
