Core Data does not currently support any store types other than the included three (binary, xml, sqlite). For interacting with another database type, you'll have to interact with its libraries directly or find a framework already written for that by a third party.

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.
