Hi people,
I'm currently investigating how to write database applications on Mac
OS X, but having great difficulty in finding any information. I'll
explain what I'm trying to do and if anyone can help me, that'd be
grand:
1. Connect to any type of database (MySQL, Oracle, etc) from within a
Cocoa application written in Objective-C
2. Use Rendezvous from within the application
3. Use little (if any) Java
My questions are thus:
1. Driver availability is sketchy - Oracle has JDBC drivers for OS X
but no Oracle Client install that I can find. Would using the JDBC
drivers for Oracle require an Oracle installation on the same machine?
2. Is it possible to use Java and Objective-C within the same Cocoa
project (Java for the database interaction, Objective-C for Rendezvous
and everything else, and then call the Java code from the Objective-C
code)
3. Why is Java frowned upon when it comes to writing Cocoa applications
(slightly off-topic, but I was wondering why this is so)?
4. Is it possible to write Objective-C code to connect to a database?
Which framework(s) would I need to use? Are they open source? Does
Apple have any frameworks to do this? If not, why not?
Sorry this is kind of a long question, but any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
George.
