iODBC*.Framework
You'll need to download the SDK from http://www.iodbc.org/ or
http://www.openlinksw.com/, because Apple only builds the older-
style /usr/lib/libodbc*.dylibs into Darwin and Mac OS X, but the
Frameworks are still covered by LGPL and BSD licenses.
The differences between the dylibs shipped with OS X and the latest
framework are pretty minimal (iODBC 3.52.1 vs iODBC 3.52.3). The nice
thing about using the dylibs is 1) you don't have to download anything
extra, and 2) you have PPC and Intel compatibility today. AFAIK, the
frameworks have not yet been released as a UB.
There is an example NIB-based Xcode project available at:
http://www.actualtechnologies.com/example.php
It is Carbon-based, but as a C API, the concepts apply to Cocoa, too.
