Please forgive me as I am new to both Cocoa and databases. I am

to connect to my database. So in my project, in the class that is
responsible for accessing the database, i have #include
<isqlext.h> (which calls isql.h and iodbcunix.h) in the header and
implementation files. So if I use DbConn(db, UID, PASSWD), my app
crashes.... which tells me that this is not the right command or I
need to include more files. So my question has now evolved into
how do I use obj-C to communicate with my database? Is there any
documentation on how to accomplish this or has anyone had
experience with this? Thanks for the help and for your patience!
Actual Technologies has a Carbon example app using the Mac iODBC
libraries. They claim it's easy to translate into Cocoa/ObjC.
YMMV. It should at least give you some clues on how to set up the
Xcode project (i.e. what libraries/frameworks to include, etc.).

I found this reference on the iodbc-macosx list at sourceforge.
You might find some other clues there.

Finally, if you post the crash log from your app, or some other
relevant snippet from Xcode of the feedback you get from the crash,
you might make it more enticing for the list to follow up on your
question. As it reads now, you're asking the list to help you
program obj-C, and I'm guessing no one has time to debug that one.

I thought I'd give everyone an update thus far- it appears that my
problem is in the fact that the database I need to use is a firebird
database and we don't want to pay for a driver. I found one for free
but it requires me to be unixODBC and not iODBC.... and of course I
have to build it from source and that doesn't compile correctly.
Then I have to compile the driver from source- hopefully that will
actually compile. After I figure this mess out it should work.
Thanks to everyone who helped!
