Developers choose databases like SQL Server, MySQL, or PostgreSQL based on the project&rsquo;s requirements. Tools like Entity Framework or Dapper simplify database interaction and reduce boilerplate code. Dot Net development focus on creating optimized schemas, indexing, and implementing best practices like normalization. Security measures, including encryption and role-based access, are also applied. Continuous backups and performance monitoring tools are set up to prevent data loss and maintain reliability. These steps ensure a robust and scalable database layer.[/size]
