EF Core migration to the Azure MariaDB database fail

I tried to create simple example for .NET Core console application and Azure MariaDB, but it does not matter what I do. I still get one and the same exception.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create MariaDB on Azure - Azure MariaDB Tutorial
2. Create Console App (.NET Core) via Visual Studio 2017
3. Download NuGet package - Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql
4. Create simple code for testing

Program code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var context = new BloggingContext();

            context.Blogs.Add(new Blog
            {
                BlogId = 0,
                Posts = new List<Post>
                {
                    new Post
                    {
                        BlogId = 5,
                        Title = "Some Title"
                    }
                },
                Url = "Some Url"
            });

            context.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
}

DB Context code

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    public class BloggingContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<Blog> Blogs { get; set; }
        public DbSet<Post> Posts { get; set; }

        protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
        {
            optionsBuilder.UseMySql("Database=azure-database; Data Source=azure-database.mariadb.database.azure.com; User Id=azure_user@azure-database; Password=azure-password");
        }
    }

    public class Blog
    {
        public int BlogId { get; set; }
        public string Url { get; set; }

        public ICollection<Post> Posts { get; set; }
    }

    public class Post
    {
        public int PostId { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public string Content { get; set; }

        public int BlogId { get; set; }
        public Blog Blog { get; set; }
    }
}

5. Create Migration via Package Manager Console in Visual Studio 2017 (Add-Migration Inititial)
6. Update database on Azure via Package Manager Console in Visual Studio 2017 (Update-Database)

The issue

The migration was unsuccessful and failed.

Exception message: Failed to read the result set.

Further technical details

• MariaDB version: 10.2.17
• Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql version: 2.1.4
• Microsoft.NETCore.App version: 2.2.0

Other information When I tried it with an official MySQL library everything worked.
