OK, I guess I need to clarify and maybe apologize.
I'm sure Ernie is a nice guy and a fine human being.
I don't know him personally.
I only know him from watching him speak to groups of developers at
various developer functions like WWDC.
I did not intend personal disparagement and I apologize.
I do think he has made promises on Apple's behalf that
were later broken (by Apple). He has hinted on Apple's behalf that perhaps
a light weight object persistence mechanism would be developed
and supplied to app developers needing local database capabilities.
He has been making these statements for a couple years now and
nothing has come of it - we still have no replacement for EOF
for ObjC apps and we have no reasonable hope of support for our
legacy code - in some cases enormous enterprise object models that
contain significant business logic that we don't want to port.
Even Microsoft at least supplies at a minimum the Jet database and
ODBC access tools.
This is the source of my frustration.
