I'd say that most applications that connect to MS SQL Server on the
Mac do so using ODBC. It's certainly a mature API, is supported
natively by Mac OS X (through /Applications/Utilities/ODBC
Administrator.app and /usr/lib/libiodbc.a), and it aligns well with
SQL Server capabilities.
The best way (IMHO) to integrate a Cocoa app with ODBC is to use Andy
Satori's ODBCKit framework:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/odbckit
It is open source and BSD licensed. It has some nice abstractions
for creating dictionaries directly from your recordset. It includes
an example project.
There are several sources for ODBC drivers on the Mac. A
comprehensive list is available here:
