Also, CoreData’s SQL schema is highly opaque. You can’t use CoreData to access a normal existing SQL database (it won’t recognize the schema), and a SQL database created by CoreData is going to have a lot of weird-looking tables that you really shouldn’t access using anything else but CoreData.
Again, CoreData is _not_ an ORM. I don’t actually know of any Cocoa-based ORM library for ODBC, but by this point it’s likely that someone somewhere has written one. (There’s a new one by Marco Arment for SQLite, whose name I forget, but it only works with SQLite so it’s probably not useful for the OP.)
