Brad,

would do it with a web framework like RubyOnRails [1]. This framework has really a great open source community! For the database you can use mysql [2] or postgresql [3] or even sqlite [4]. The iPhone part could be realized with a project like ObjectiveResource [5] talking to the REST API [6] of your web application.

And the best: on you Leopard Mac you have RubyOnRails (not the latest release but update is easy) and MySQL already installed ;-)

Best regards
Stefan

I'm trying to meet the following requirements:

1. Back-end multi-user database to manage products, contacts, projects, inventory, etc. 2. Ability to access and edit that DB over the Internet and the iPhone 3. Ability to import/export some data in the main database to/from a single-user Core Data app


Filemaker seems like the easiest route to achieving 1 & 2, but I'm not sure how well it interacts with Core Data. I don't have any experience with SQL databases, but I have seen mention of BaseTen, although only people recommending it -- I haven't seen posts from anyone claiming to use it. I've also looked into Ruby on Rails and RubyCocoa, but I'm not sure how well the importing / exporting would work.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for the most reliable and most direct route for interactions between single-user Core Data-based apps and a multi-user back-end.


Thanks.

Brad
