If I'm understanding correctly, you want to use the default database for Umbraco, and the custom database and EF Core for custom code. That should be fully possible; it should be the same as adding a database and EF Core to any other .NET 6 project, set up alongside the existing Umbraco code. The only possible issue I can think of is if the EF Core dependencies conflict with the Umbraco dependencies, but if the EF Core package installs then you should be good.
Umbraco 10 with .Net 6 and EF Core
Im looking into the options of using Umbraco 10 with .Net 6 and EF Core with a custom database as well as the default database Umbraco provides.
I cant find any resource to indicate if this is possible or not and how the project should be structured.
Any hints/tips or guidance resources?
