Nothing prevents you from programmatically manipulating your CoreData
store. CoreData is not a GUI-only technology. Get your data into some
format that your CoreData app can read, and write some code to blast
it into your store. This is much more foolproof, and probably easier,
than trying to manipulate the SQLite database directly.
To take that a step further, in principle there shouldn't be any need
to create an intermediate format -- you should be able to write a
utility (with or without a GUI) that reads the data from the MySQL
database using its native library and create and store managed objects
directly. See <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/Articles/cdImporting.html
