just finished my first simple Core Data Document Based Application. Four entities with multiple relationships. Now I want to recreate the same thing using just SQLite. I don't know SQLite, and I know very little Unix.
This isn't something I'd advise unless you're extremely curious, or have a strong need to do a database-based app that goes beyond what CoreData can do. The basics of SQL aren't hard, but the learning curve gets steeper if you want to do enough for a real app; and integrating raw database APIs into object-oriented apps can be very difficult because they're two very different approaches to managing data. (Trust me, I did exactly this in my last project, and it was a ton of work.)
If you do want to learn sqlite, I highly recommend Michael Owens's "The Definitive Guide To SQLite" from Apress <http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Guide-SQLite/dp/1590596730 >. It has a good introduction to SQL and to the sqlite API.
In addition to QuickLite, another good set of Cocoa sqlite wrappers is Gus Mueller's FMDB <http://gusmueller.com/blog/archives/2008/06/new_home_for_fmdb.html >.
