With WebObjects you can connect to any database that has a JDBC

WebObjects with EOF provides what many consider to be an unrivaled
database abstraction layer. If you're already using Cocoa, and
understand OO technology, then it's well-worth looking at...
Would you care to expand on that a bit? It sounds promising.
I'm in the process of writing a Cocoa app that reads a MySQL database
(belated thanks to Serge Cohen's SMySQL framework)
I have classes to represent database rows and I've taken some tiny
steps towards the sort of data accessibility I'm familiar with in
WebObjects. I'm aware that in setting off on this path I'm trying to
recreate what is already done by EOF.
What you have said above implies that I could fairly easily construct a
database access facility using WO/EOF. What exactly does "just create
an EOModel and use the wizard" mean? Are you talking about D2W, which
I used briefly a few years ago?
I have written a WebObjects direct action that serves up calendar
events to the satisfaction of iCal, but that's the closest I've come to
understanding what a "WebServices function" is. Does that count?
