I'm aware this topic has probably been raised previously, but I was
just checking in with people's experiences in remote CoreData stores.
I'm working on a database application which has a requirement of
being accessible from multiple machines at the same time. I've
prototyped it in CoreData, but I will probably have to move the
backend to MySQL in order to meet the project's requirements. Another
requirement is that the database should be accessible from a web
browser, most likely a php script. Again, MySQL would be the best
option for this on paper.
I'd like to stay in CoreData given how easy it is to get Cocoa
objects back out of the database (creating a Cocoa front end to the
database is another requirement of the project, so I can't simply
dump my Cocoa front end and just do a PHP/mySQL one). Does anyone
have experience either doing some sort of bridge between the CoreData
classes and MySQL, using remote CoreData stores, or accessing a
CoreData store from PHP?
The bulk of the use of this system will be the Cocoa application, so
I'm giving the most priority to making it the cleanest and nicest
client, rather than the PHP one. I think the PHP client to the
database will also not require as much functionality.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm just wondering if something like
CocoaMySQL really would be the best way to go for this project. I
have a lot of concerns about using MySQL, mostly related to
performance issues with the UI. It's an application that middle
school students on up will be using, so the UI has to be pretty
clean, and it's definitely easier to write a good UI when CoreData is
handing you back
Does anyone just have general ideas about this? The Cocoa app is
supposed to be the star of this whole system and it just feels gross
creating a MySQL database to be used with the Cocoa app. Maybe I've
just been spoiled by CoreData.
Thanks,
Colin
