Show other connection strings than localdb

[Cloudmersive]

Nobody uses localdb. You need to show other actually-useful examples like, SQL Server. Worst docs ever

Other examples would help a lot. :) The docuemntation is very good, im a developer but just recently moved over to C# an d.NET and this documentation has made it quite easy to leap over.

I can't actually find any documentation online on alternative connection strings. It's quite silly, if you ask me.

@sbrl I'm not sure if this helps but I use https://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server/ as a reference for all SQLServer DB connection strings.

[sbrl]

Sorry, that's no particularly helpful I'm afraid @awaheed1. I'm using Linux and I'm a student, so I have access to neither SQL Server nor a device that could theoretically run it.

@sbrl what type of DB are you attempting to connect to? Is it a SQL DB? NoSQL DB? https://www.connectionstrings.com/ also has connection strings for MySQL which, last time I used it, was a free open-source DB.

[sbrl]

@awaheed1 SQLite actually. And the ones on connectionstrings.com actually cause a crash because they are invalid with EntityFramework / EntityFrameworkCore.

i need mongodb example anyone?

Any update on this? It seems quite ridiculous that such a simple issue has been waiting so long for a resolution.
