PostgreSQL version: 16.3
Operating system: macOS sonoma 14.5 (23F79)
Description:

Version:

PostgreSQL 16.3,
Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL 7.0.4 ,
Entity Framework 7.0.8

Platform: Dotnet 7

I'm getting the following error when trying to work with an hstore data type
in PostgreSQL 16.3, while it was working fine in PostgreSQL 16.1:
The field 'xxx' has a type currently unknown to Npgsql (OID 17521). You can
retrieve it as a string by marking it as unknown, please see the FAQ.

Since the same operations were working in 16.1, I had to downgrade my
version from 16.3 to 16.1 to avoid this issue.
Data should be read and written without any issues using the hstore data
type.
