On: Azure Database for MySQL and PostgreSQL

> not-builtin types like jsonp/hstore is a bit tricky in EF so far it feels like, but doable?

and no support for spatial data types. it's why i'm still mostly using SQLAlchemy and Python - i'm a big fan of .NET Core, though.

Hmm. Npgsql supports polygons in some sense, but you have to add some custom bits on top I suppose? I'm not sure how querying works though.

SQLAlchemy is pretty much the only framework I've seen do this pretty well, though I have plenty of other qualms with it. Still probably my favorite ORM overall.
