My advice would be to use the java-bridge to use to the JDBC postres
driver. I use this system in my front end for mySQL, source to be posted
soon, and it works beautifully. I get a bunch of compiler warnings as I
can't really make header files for my java-classes, but aside from that,
its perfect.
In my opinion, this demonstrates on of cocoa's greatest strengths - the
ability to transparently use java code/classes in your apps. This gives
Cocoa an amazing variety of libraries which Apple could not duplicate on
their own.
