EntityFramework.Exceptions
A library that provides strongly typed exceptions for handling database errors in Entity Framework Core and ADO.NET.
What is EntityFramework.Exceptions?
EntityFramework.Exceptions is a .NET library that provides strongly typed exceptions for database errors when using Entity Framework Core or ADO.NET. It solves the problem of having to parse generic DbUpdateException or DbException objects to determine the exact cause of a database failure, such as unique constraint violations or null insertions. By converting database-specific error codes into meaningful exception types, it simplifies error handling and improves code clarity.
.NET developers using Entity Framework Core or ADO.NET for data access who need robust and maintainable error handling for database operations. It is particularly useful for teams building applications with complex data integrity rules across multiple database providers.
Developers choose EntityFramework.Exceptions because it eliminates the boilerplate code required to interpret database error codes, reduces bugs from mishandled errors, and provides a consistent exception model across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, and MySQL. Its standalone DbExceptionClassifier also offers the same benefits for pure ADO.NET scenarios without EF Core dependencies.
