This isn't really specific to Cocoa.... but....
The Oracle OCI and OCCI libraries can easily be linked in and
called... you just need to download the appropriate client and
libraries from Oracle for Mac OS X. The biggest issue right now is
that these libraries are only available for PPC and no word has been
forthcoming on Intel / Universal libraries. If you want to write an
app that runs on both, you'll have to build it as a PPC binary and
run it within Rosetta. I generally deploy code that uses OCCI on
Linux, but the tests that I have run with OCCI under Rosetta on my
MacBook Pro seem to run ok (other than being slow)... of course, you
lose the debugger too under Rosetta, which really stinks.

Hi,
I'd like to do development using the Oracle OCI libraries to link
in with my Objective-C applications. I find it very hard to
believe that no one has written any examples of this, or a class
library similar to the Oracle OCCI (C++) classes. Especially given
the number of hits on resumes my Google queries get.
I've searched high and low on the 'Net and have found pretty much
nothing.
Before I try to struggle along and try to write some classes to
access the Oracle OCI, or bridge the OCCI (Oracle C++ Classes), it
would be nice to see a class library someone has already done, or
at lease some examples using Objective-C.
Unicode, UTF-8, and Kanji are must haves.
I have looked at the framework from Run Time Labs, and it doesn't
seem to support Unicode wihch is a requirement since I will be
dealing with UTF-8 databases and Kanji, and accesses things through
the Oracle JDBC which also has to be installed in a special place
for their framework to access it. I'm a bit disappointed in this
since I actually shelled out about $390 for their framework since
their demo versions do not support Oracle.
I really want to link to the Oracle OCI or OCCI preferably
statically, but dynamic linking is also an option since all our
client machines will have the Oracle libraries on them.
Any help would or pointers be appreciated.
Thanks,
