Thanks - Some more thoughts
The core problem is SQL, because SQL is not fully defined standard, I
cannot simple rely on it to make my Database completely transparent and
thus my Application database neutral. Even if I use jdbc to access a
database I am still stuck to a Database to a greater degree. That why
Java has Hibernate and Cayenne to abstract sql calls.
I was hoping cocoa had something similar ability, but I have not been
able to find. Is this the promise of "Core Data"? Database abstraction
for Objective-C?
This "Core Data" is in Tiger only, now 6-8 months is not to long to
wait. Now I am only a student ADC member and do not have access to
Tiger.
I also know that you cannot talk MUCH about "Core Data" because of your
NDA, however I did some reading online, and as far as I can see "Core
Data" is a DataBase system build into Mac OS X. What can you tell me
with in the confines of your NDA about "Core Data"?
Will "Core Data" meet my needs allowing me to run my Cocoa client on my
Mac and have an SQL server powered on another UNIX/Linux/Mac server,
storing my Data?
I live in Australia and web-objects are not viable their virtually no
hosting for Web-objects services here in OZ not anything that will make
it worth while. Plus I feel funny going all Apple, it is a bit like
going all MS.
