Have you read the document tutorial on how to create a
NSManagedDocument based app?


My app is not a document based app. Or is it ?

I don't know really : last time I've created a document based app in Xcode, it automatically created a class named MyDocument that made me think that this kind of project was useful only to design apps which deal with...a document (like MSWord or Photoshop).

But my app doesn't deal with a document : it is an accounting app, it deals with a lot of datas (accounts, payees, banks...) but it is not what I call a document. Or maybe I am wrong and I misinterpret the term "document". What a document is is not clear to me and what I have to do with this MyDocument class is even more unclear if possible.


So, to make it clear : can someone explain what a NOT document based app is ?




Have you also read the bindings documentation?
If you don't get bindings, then coredata is not very useful for a GUI app.

I'm using bindings a lot in my apps, and I understand how Core Data and bindings work together. Very powerful ! :o)




Have you looked at the example software in your XCode install?
Take a look at the coredata stickies example.



Thanks, I forgot to check the examples.

There are a lot of coredata info and tutorials on the web
not just from apple... try google.

Here is a good place to start

I'm pretty sure I've missed a critical documentation that explains what to do with this file, how to associate it with a NSManagedObjectModel instance of my app.

Good luck

Hi to all !


With a lot of late, I'm beginning to explore the fantastic world of Core Data. And, to say the least, I'm totaly lost !


The docs look very weak to me : I've read entirely the Core Data programming guide (very clear) and the Data Modeling Guide but still I can't find how to make evrything work.


I have created a Managed Object Model, using Xcode. I have a nice .xcdatamodel file, populated with me entities, relationships, and so on...and I don't know what to do with it !


I'm pretty sure I've missed a critical documentation that explains what to do with this file, how to associate it with a NSManagedObjectModel instance of my app.

Worse, I don't know how to fetch from the NSManagedObjectContext since it is only accessible from my app delegate and not from my other window controllers (I have a lot of them) ! Should I add a reference to it on every controller I had to my app ? I sure hope no...



Well, as you see, I'm missing one or two critical informations to fully understand Core Data...and I don't know where to find them.

If someone could link me to the docs I've missed and that explain all of this, that would be great !





Ih, and last question (once more, I've not found anything about it in the docs I've read) : what are the differences between the persistent storage types (SQL, XML...) and which one should I use in which case ?



Thanks by advance,



Eric.
