So what are my options? Do I need some third party library to do this?
Yes, at this point. What happened is that Apple had the best
framework for accessing databases ever: EOF, and they ported it to
Java and dropped the ObjC version (go figure). Then they realized
"oops, we shouldn't have done that", and started over with CoreData
which only supports 3 different backing stores. So maybe CoreData2?
In the meantime, though your needs are limited, you might want to
check out AJRDatabase which is an EOF clone on sourceforge. I don't
think there's an adaptor for MS SQL Server though, so perhaps one of
the ODBC options others have proposed will work.
So for your needs...probably ODBC. Long term and for others, AJR is
a better path. If you can control the database, FrontBase has a
really nice ObjC framework for accessing their database; it returns
standard Foundation classes like NSArray, NSNumber, etc.
