Hi Jason;
I'm the developer of SMySQL ...
Indeed I'm currently preparing a new release of the framework, which
will also incorporate a light Object/Relational mapping engine.
If you can not wait at all, tell me, I'll send you everything by
mail. Otherwise, the web page should be updated soon (hopefully
couple of days).
It will support MySQL v4.1 authentication.
At some later point I hope to be able to use the CoreData model for
the object/relational mapping, but it's not the case currently.
About licenses, note that MySQL is GPL, unless you buy a license. It
is the same for the framework... So if license is an issue, you might
want to reconsider the choices you have.
Serge.
PS: Feel free to eMail me directly, if you have any question(s).

Hi all,
I've been looking at a cocoa framework for interfacing with a MySQL
or (preferably) PostgreSQL database (server) from a desktop app.
CoreData would be great, but I need a workgroup solution w/ a
hosted DB, not a local DB store.
These are the frameworks I've come across so far:
MacSQL framework from RTLabs
-Commercial license, documentation is a bit sparse and the mailing
lists for it are awfully quiet
SMySQL Framework
-MySQL framework that hasn't been updated in over a year (from what
I can tell) and appears to have limited support for newer versions
of MySQL (4.1+) that have features I would like to use
PostgreSQL Framework
-Also hasn't been updated in over a year. Appears to be pretty
complete, although still listed as in beta. The other problem I
have with this database is that it is GPL-only, and LGPL (or BSD)
is a better fit for the this particular project.
Has anyone had any experience with these or other DB frameworks
they'd like to share? I've played around with the ActiveRecord
record class for Ruby, which is just great. I've considered using
the RubyCocoa bridge for the app, but I've found that when trying
to use all of Cocoa's UI features with Ruby, you often have to jump
through too many hoops for it to be worth it. Also, there's the
speed factor.
Ideally, OS X 10.5 would extend CoreData to deal with
client/'server solutions, but I'm not holding my breath and waiting
for that to come around.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Jason
