Quick install in ASP .NET Core with mix

The quickest way to install OrmLite in existing ASP .NET Core projects is to mix in the desired RDBMS provider which both installs the required NuGet package and creates a Modular Startup configuration all setup to read your App's configured RDBMS connection string for instant utility:

x mix postgres

x mix sqlserver

x mix mysql

x mix sqlite

x mix oracle

x mix firebird

If you don't have the dotnet x tool installed, it can be installed with:

dotnet tool install -g x
