I have a large database in a proprietary binary format that I would
like to show in a simple NSTableView. This is all read-only.
Is this is good use case for subclassing NSArrayController?

No. An NSArrayController does not contain a collection of data. It manages the interaction between a collection of data and a view, following the standard model-view-controller architecture.

The best thing to do would be to implement a model-level abstraction to represent your database that supports key-value coding appropriately, and then just use the standard Cocoa controller classes to interact with it.
