Hi Carla,
Hope your head it okay now...
Check out the built-in Berkley DB ("man dbopen"). There are three
different formats for a local file database: btree, hash, and recno.
You'd pick a format that's appropriate for your data. Each of the
formats also has its own man page. It's a C API, but you could probably
very easily write some Cocoa wrappers.
Caveat: I've never used it -- I've used Perl:DBI, and mySQL in the
past, but you're not looking for a client-server DB.
I believe that Sleepycat Software (
http://www.sleepycat.com/) also has a
more industrial strength version of the Berkley DB if you need it.
