+title: OrmLite new Configuration Model and Defaults

+
+The episode provides a technical overview of **OrmLite's new configuration model** and associated updates, 
+emphasizing its alignment with **ASP.NET Core conventions** through a fluent API that uses `services.AddOrmLite()`. 
+
+A major change is the replacement of JSV serialization with **JSON for complex types**, leveraging native 
+database support, and updates to defaults for specific providers, such as **PostgreSQL dropping the 
+snake_case naming strategy** and **SQL Server defaulting to the 2022 dialect**. 
+
+The updates also introduce **improved observability features**, like connection tagging and command execution timing, 
+as well as utility enhancements, including **new APIs for checking existence by ID** and resetting sequences in PostgreSQL. 
+
+Finally, it details internal refactors, such as the use of the new **TableRef struct** to unify table 
+referencing across different APIs.
