Single-User Database

Now I've gone and done it! I've read a lot of messages in the archives, but I must ask!


I need a single-user database that preferably can be embedded in my application. I read about SQLite and scoured the web and I determined that a) I need a Mac binary b) I need it to built a certain way to be embedded and c) I need a Cocoa framework to access it.

So after looking, I began looking for solutions to these problems, err actually only a & c. I couldn't find a Mac binary originally, so I downloaded the source and built it. To tell you the truth, I have no idea which of the 73 files it creates is the library or what to do with it once I find it at all. I then found that Fink had a package for it, but apparently I shouldn't use Fink because I have the GCC update thanks to Xcode. Besides that, it still wouldn't have been embeddable (which appears not to be a word either). I did find some cocoa means to access SQLite databases, but it's kind of useless if I don't have an SQLite engine.

So then we come to now. I still need a single-user database solution. I've read about EOF and all that, but beside all of that and "why can't you just use MySQL", is there any single-user database engine that can be embedded within my application's package and available to Cocoa through some kind of framework?

If SQLite is the only way to go, then is there someone who I can help me off-list with getting it compiled and embedded in my application?


Sorry to bring up what seemed to be a pretty flammable topic, but INTK.

Thanks,

Seth Willits
