If you want a procedural database API, iODBC shipped with Jaguar. Just get an ODBC driver for your database and use it. It should work from both Carbon and Cocoa applications right now, though the API (being ODBC) is a bit clunky.

Their time in this area would be much better spent resurrecting Objective-C EOF for Cocoa than developing a brand new procedural database API for use with Carbon.

The Enterprise Objects Framework (EOF) is a transparent object-relational mapping framework. It relies heavily on the dynamic features of the underlying language -- Objective-C in the past, Java in the version that ships with WebObjects. It *seriously* rocks.
