Answer 2

pgadmin4 is not a database, Do you want to ask how to connect to PostgreSQL?

First, you need to add NuGet package:

dotnet add package Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL

Then, you need to add connectionstring in appsettings.json :

{
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "WebApiDatabase": "Host=localhost; Database=xxx; Username=xxx; Password=xxx"
    },
}

Finally configure it like this:

services.AddDbContext<xxxContext>(options =>
        options.UseNpgsql(Configuration.GetConnectionString("ConnectionStrings")));
