it's not available you can use fmdb.
Um, those both use sqlite. Tom is asking about other SQL databases,
like MySQL or Oracle.

Hmm, this is really a shame. I guess I was just looking for a good
framework to use to connect to a database. I think this is a big

could connect to other databases rather than just SQLite.
You can. There's nothing stopping you from using C or C++ APIs. These
of course exist for all the major DBs, and someone else already
mentioned that ODBC is included in the OS.
What you're asking is for Apple to provide an Obj-C framework for
generic RDBMS access. NeXT used to have one, called EOF, large
portions of which got turned into CoreData. But this is an enterprise
feature, and Apple hasn't paid much attention to that market in years.
What specifically do you need to talk to those different databases for?
