ODBC is your friend.
If you write your applications in conformance with the ODBC and SQL
standards, you shouldn't have to worry too much about what target
your eventual customers/users are working with.
The iODBC project comprises the ODBC ecosystem on Mac OS X --
http://www.iodbc.org/
Particularly interesting pieces for you will be found under the
`ODBC-on-Unix Story` and `macosx odbc overview` links.
This page may also be useful --
http://docs.openlinksw.com/mt/iodbcappsmacos.html#iodbcmacosx
Apple currently ships a set of iODBC dylibs, found in /usr/lib/, but
a full set of Frameworks has also been available for free download
and installation since Cheetah shipped, as part of the iODBC SDK.
You can also build the Frameworks yourself from source, if you prefer
that to the pre-compiled SDK available for download.
The pre-compiled SDK also includes the OpenLink ODBC Administrator,
which delivers full support for graphical configuration (Setup=)
libraries -- support not found in the ODBC Administrator shipped
by Apple -- but it's your choice whether this is important to you.
A useful page for others looking for other Cocoa pieces --

Be seeing you,
