I know this topic has been brought up in many forms on this lists, but
I wish to bring it up yet again as I have personally reached a point in
developing an application (commercial) which could really use some
built in cocoa db support. It is not the type of application which
could single out power users, who would necessarily know how to install
a db server. Nor would I expect them to go and buy a database
application or install one, just to use my little cocoa app. Something
already in Cocoa would have been nice. Archiving an array of
dictionaries does not seem like the ultimate answer to writing
data-based applications in Objective-C.
I am aware of some of the wrappers some good folk have put together for
db's such as MySQL, and this is really good work! However, I am quite
surprised (please correct me if I am wrong), that Panther has not
included any new API or support for some kind of built-in db
functionality (or the EOF from Web Objects I have been reading about).
Am I right, is there still nothing built into cocoa for this?
PS. I don't use Real Basic for development, but I must admit they have
added a valentina db or something which seems to allow developers to
get around this prob.
