Yes, and no. Apple has the wonderful Enterprise Object Framework (EOF)
that has been the driving force behind WebObjects, but they have been a
little weird about licensing it away from WebObjects. There is also the
fact that EOF moved from Obj-C to Java with WebObjects.
There are solutions though: There is a project underway to make an
open-source (looks to be LGPL) version of this. More info can be found
at
http://www.tufty.co.uk/Software/EOPage.html
The second option is to use one of the many Obj-C wrappers on specific
drivers from databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc...).
And the third would be to use Java for the connection, and use any of
the many standard methods to do that.
My vote would be to yell and scream until Apple reinstated EOF as a
first class framework in all MacOS X installs (Java and Obj-C)... and
get them to provide for a licensing scheme for other platforms, but I
wouldn't hold my breath...

However, I don't seem to see any Frameworks/APIs related to database
communication. Does anyone know if Apple has any Frameworks available
that encapsulate database drivers, or even work with the built-in ODBC
Administrator?
