Thanks for the reply. Too bad about the limited db access.
RunTimeLabs apparently has a db framework that looks quite nice, but
it's $700.
I'll probably try the RubyCocoa + ActiveRecord route and let you know
how it goes.
Now the standard question: any secrets for getting up to minimum
speed rapidly in Cocoa? Hillegas book? The usual Apple tutorials?
Best,
russ

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.
