Thanks, for the extra info. I'm looking to create a multi-user
inventory type application for a customer. They want it custom and to
run on Mac OS X.
I guess what I'm really going to do is develop the front end in Cocoa
and use SOAP for all of the database communications.
thanks again,
tom

You can use Core Data, or if for any reason you're against that or
it's not available you can use fmdb.
Um, those both use sqlite. Tom is asking about other SQL databases,
like MySQL or Oracle.

Hmm, this is really a shame. I guess I was just looking for a good
framework to use to connect to a database. I think this is a big

could connect to other databases rather than just SQLite.
You can. There's nothing stopping you from using C or C++ APIs.
These of course exist for all the major DBs, and someone else
already mentioned that ODBC is included in the OS.
What you're asking is for Apple to provide an Obj-C framework for
generic RDBMS access. NeXT used to have one, called EOF, large
portions of which got turned into CoreData. But this is an
enterprise feature, and Apple hasn't paid much attention to that
market in years.
What specifically do you need to talk to those different databases
for?
