Again, supposing EOF/ObjC talked to JDBC adapters.

This is a very good idea if it is possible and feasible. The DB vendors
would only need to provide one adapter and Cocoa developers can stay
with Obj-C.

I'll guarantee you that most JDBC adapters are NOT written in Java. Like I said, it's a protocol. You could probably implement it in Eiffel, Lisp, ML, Scheme, or Cobol.

I have a friend who I've been trying to get in touch with who writes ODBC and JDBC adapters for a living just to make sure my air

Where's the strategic advantage for Apple to sell more OS X boxes
if a product written in Java can be easily ported elsehwere? After all,
Apple is a _hardware_ company, is it not?

More to the point, why use Java if you're not going to get the "write once, run anywhere" advantage?

FWIW, in my own experience, Python comes closer to fulfilling that as a reality than Java ever did, but I digress.
