When creating a new ASP.NET app in Rider, can you do so using a local SQL Server instead of SQLite?

Question

I'm getting started with Rider and have mostly written console apps so far. When selecting the template in new project creation I select ASP.NET Core Web Application. This creates a new SQLite DB and builds the project file using options.UseSqlite();. Is there a way to generate a new project using a local Sql Server and the options.UseSqlServer(); code in the Program.cs file?

Answer 1

Yes, you can Rider allows you to create and install additional project templates. The docs are pretty good, so just give it a try.
