Hi Ashley,
The folks from the WO team worked on Core Data. It is not compatible
with EOF being much lighter weight but it is derived from the same
technology and is an OR tool.
It only supports SQL Lite as a database. No other database vendor
claims to be talking to Apple about including support for their own
technology.
It can also access binary and XML datasources.
It is ObjC based, not Java.
Can't see any caching or snapshot mechanism in
there...but...eww...ObjC..

Can you (or anyone else) tell us (those not at WWDC) any more about
Core Data?
Is it really comparable to EOF? How is it different?
Does it work with different databases (not just SQLite)?
What about JNDI sources?
I assume it is object-relational mapping?
Is it only for the local machine or can it talk to remote databases?
Can two application / users talk to the same database (SQLite) at the
same time using it?
Does it have caching like EOF?
Is it red, green or blue? Animal, mineral or vegetable?
Thanks,
Ashley.
