You might want to try AJRDatabase. It's also a clone of EOF, like
GDL2 but I've found it to be further ahead.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ajrdatabase/
Note that you'll also need to download two frameworks, AJRFoundation
and AJRInterface, in order to compile the EOModeler application
available at: http://www.raftis.net/~araftis
It has adaptors for OpenBase, PostgreSQL and SQLite. I've only been
using the PostgreSQL adaptor and it's been great. I have one bug left
on my list related to peer-editing contexts but it seems to be pretty
solid otherwise.

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
