newbie question re. cocoa front-end to sql db

I've got a FrontBase db (I use for some WebObjects apps) that I want to build a Cocoa front end for. What architecture would you recommend for this?


More specifically:
Are there some docs somewhere that explain how to hook up core data to an existing SQL db (other than SQLite)? Is it just a matter of changing the settings in -managedObjectContext and maybe adding a framework? I was thinking of using WO java client but I've had such bad results with that in years past that I'm avoiding it . . . and I'd like an excuse to learn some cocoa. Also, thinking about using RubyCocoa + activeRecord (which I like). I guess I wouldn't mind using AppleScript + something like SQLGrinder either but that seems to be unnecessarily multiplying layers.


Thanks in advance.

Russ
