It probably does. I believe you can use CoreData just fine in a
regular Carbon app (not that I have done this myself).
Using CoreData would require some [[weird punctuation] here:andThere]
because it's Objective-C, but given its strengths, I wouldn't let
that put you off. Ask on Cocoa-Dev and see.

Aha.
I see. You are correct. I have been looking at CFData, assumed it
was the same thing.
Looking specifically at Core Data, I can see its much more than
that. However it looks like its a Cocoa thing ? A guess Core Data
isn't available for regular old C programmers ?
Sounds like using SQLite directly was the correct route. I just
wondered if CoreData held any benefits for our application.
Cheers :-)

CFData is just a very simple object which contains a wad of bytes.
It doesn't do anything fancy.

Folks.
Can someone elaborate on the relationship between SQLite and
CFData. The docs suggest that CFData uses SQLite.
I have used SQLite with good results as a regular database, but
reading about CFData I can't really understand the relationship,
it looks to me that CFData just allows a user to create a 'data
block' of arbitrary size which presumably is automatically cached
off disk (via SQLite ?)
I am having trouble understanding whether CFData is designed to
be used *instead* of SQLite for the same type of job ? if so, I
must have missed some detail about how one would setup a 'multi-
field' relational database with CFData.
Perhaps its really not intended to do the same job, and the use
of SQLite for CFData is merely incidental.
