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?
Use their native drivers. See frontbase.com for details. IIRC, you
can also use odbc or jdbc. (The one project I used it for used jdbc,
but that was a Java project.)
Are there some docs somewhere that explain how to hook up core data
to an existing SQL db (other than SQLite)?
You cannot use Core Data with any other databases at this time.
I heavily encourage you to file bugs requesting the exact database
you would like to hook up, and how willing you would be to switch to
another client-server db if that one was supported. FWIW, my list,
in order, is MySql, Oracle, and Postgres, as all of my clients use
MySql, most use Oracle, and only a few use postgres. I have just one
client using Sybase, and one using SqlServer.
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
I have had good results of late. Recent VMs are more performant than
old ones. That said, I am not sure I would use WO for a local app
any more. It seems like CD is the recommended solution for a single
user app, and as far as multiuser, I want to get at it from more
places than just WO.
Also, thinking about using RubyCocoa + activeRecord (which I like).
If you do go that route, please let us know how it goes. I am not
fond of python for various religous reasons, but Ruby is kinda neat.
I might be willing to go for RubyCocoa, especially if ActiveRecord
gets me my database access that I am used to from the Java side.
