From abstraction point of view, the interface approach would come handy here. In fact, in my strictly personal opinion this is the best case implementation of interface. For example: public interface IDatabase { DbDataReader ExecuteReader(String query, DbParameter[] parameters); } public class SQLServerDatabase : IDatabase { } public class OracleDatabase : IDatabase { } You can leaverage the interfaces already being declared and used by Microsoft. Have a look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/data/adonet/dbproviderfactories

All the code should be same as using single connection string, except in this case you specify more than one connection string, and while creating context object you specify the name of connection string. see example here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40354460/using-multiple-connection-strings-for-the-same-dbcontext-in-entityframework
