Well, looks to me Apple can do one of the following:
(a) support EOF as part of Cocoa (even for extra money that would be great:
I would pay at least $XXX for that, perhaps even more, and I bet I'm not
alone);
(b) publish the sources, so as _we_ can do that, somewhat like it happened
ages ago with MusicKit;
(c) tell us straight something as "Nope, we won't do (a) nor (b) since
Oracle paid us a fortune not to do so, so as their proprietary API is the
best way for OS X. So forget portable and easily made database apps in OS X,
and be happy".
Well, is there any (d)? I mean, any sensible one?
